[00:00.129]I can't hide myself
[00:04.006]I don't expect you to understand
[00:07.732]I just hope I can explain
[00:11.179]What it's like to be a man
[00:14.951]It's a lonely road
[00:18.344]And they don't care 'bout what you know
[00:22.635]It's not 'bout how you feel
[00:24.872]But what you provide inside that home
[00:30.560]Bein' a man is what you make it
[00:32.822]You can't always live up to expectations
[00:36.226]You try to please everybody while you struggle, so you fake it
[00:40.737]And end up out of balance, compromisin' situations
[00:44.422]As a good man, a do what he should man
[00:48.309]A give everything he has and do everything he could man
[00:51.765]You might find yourself feelin' all alone
[00:55.081]Inside a house you built that you don't recognize as home
[00:59.232]And that's what my daddy told me and I'll tell my son the same
[01:02.988]Now that I'm older, I relate and I actually feel his pain
[01:06.721]He never cried, he mighta lied, but he did not complain
[01:10.246]And he said, "Son, one day, you'll have to do the same
[01:13.943]I get emotional when I stop I think and I look around
[01:18.070]Beyond the county lines of my small town
[01:21.294]I think about all the men out there who feel like I do now
[01:24.782]Who are screamin' on the inside, but won't ever make a sound
[01:27.593]I can't hide myself
[01:31.354]I don't expect you to understand
[01:34.963]I just hope I can explain
[01:38.499]What it's like to be a man (What it's like to be a man)
[01:42.250]It's a lonely road (It's a lonely road)
[01:45.603]And they don't care 'bout what you know (Care 'bout what you know)
[01:49.680]It's not 'bout how you feel
[01:52.277]But what you provide inside that home
[01:56.568]Don't give up, keep fightin'
[01:59.369]As a man, our son is our horizon
[02:02.033]And our fathers' actions play a role and we end up like him
[02:05.644]So they can't let us see them hurt
[02:07.802]'Cause we'll embody what they do and start a generational curse
[02:11.478]No wonder most men are so depressed
[02:13.309]All the things that they can't express
[02:15.055]They go to war, get thrown on the shelf
[02:16.814]Then go back to war with they mental health
[02:18.722]Then grab that bottle and ask for help
[02:20.678]Try to pull themselves out of hell
[02:22.355]Then fall back down and then realize
[02:23.816]That they gon' have to do it themselves
[02:25.867]It's the circle of life, as a man, you provide
[02:29.473]They don't know what you're worth 'til the day that you die
[02:32.954]And that's when they start cryin' (Oh)
[02:35.768]Then move on to a man to confide in
[02:39.256]That's why we feel we can't hide ourselves (We can't hide ourselves)
[02:43.848]We don't expect you to understand (Oh, understand)
[02:47.743]We just hope we can explain (We can explain)
[02:51.365]What it's like to be a man (What it's like to be a man)
[02:54.986]It's a lonely road (It's a lonely road)
[02:58.475]And you don't care 'bout what we know (Care 'bout what we know)
[03:02.382]It's not 'bout how we feel (How we feel, how we feel)
[03:05.001]But what we provide inside that home (Inside that home)
[03:13.395]That home (That home)
[03:16.980]It's not 'bout how we feel (Not about how we feel)
[03:19.756]But what we provide inside that home (Inside that home)
