[00:00.65]I can't hide myself
[00:04.16]I don't expect you to understand
[00:07.85]I just hope
[00:08.96]I can explain
[00:11.45]What it's like to be a man
[00:15.05]It's a lonely road
[00:18.51]And they don't care 'bout what you know
[00:22.73]It's not 'bout how you feel
[00:25.43]But what you provide inside that home
[00:30.86]Being a man is what you make it
[00:33.12]You can't always live up to expectation
[00:36.6]You try to please everybody
[00:39.1]While you struggle so you fake it
[00:41.05]And end up out of balance compromising situations
[00:44.49]As a good man
[00:46.93]Do what he should man
[00:48.72]I give everything he has
[00:49.96]And do everything he could man
[00:51.8]You might find yourself feeling all alone
[00:55.38]Inside a house you built
[00:56.99]That you don't recognize as home
[00:59.63]And that's what my told daddy me
[01:01.44]And I'll tell my son same
[01:03.34]Now that I'm older I relate
[01:05.15]And I actually feel his pain
[01:07.02]He never criedhe might have lied
[01:08.84]But he did not complain
[01:10.520004]And he said son
[01:11.5]One day you'll have to do the same
[01:14.22]I get emotional
[01:15.24]When I stop
[01:16.03]And think and I look around
[01:18.68]Beyond the county lines of my small town
[01:21.54]I think about all the men out there
[01:23.1]Who feel like I do now
[01:25.12]Who are screaming on the inside
[01:26.71]But won't ever make a sound
[01:28.01]I can't hide myself
[01:31.39]I don't expect you to understand
[01:35.020004]I just hope
[01:36.11]I can explain
[01:38.64]What it's like to be a man
[01:41.25]What it's like to be a man
[01:42.64]It's a lonely road
[01:44.08]It's a lonely road
[01:45.95]And they don't care 'bout what you know
[01:48.71]Care 'bout what you know
[01:50.07]It's not 'bout how you feel
[01:52.36]But what you provide inside that home
[01:56.9]Don't give up
[01:58.28]Keep fightin'
[01:59.630005]As a man our son is our horizon
[02:02.35]And our fathers' actions play a role
[02:04.22]And we end up like him
[02:05.87]So they can't let us see them hurt
[02:07.93]'Cause we'll embody what they do
[02:09.79]And start a generational curse
[02:11.64]No wonder most men are so depressed
[02:13.56]All the things that they can't express
[02:15.36]They go to war get thrown on the shelf
[02:17.08]Then go back to war with they mental health
[02:18.89]Then grab that bottle
[02:19.78]And ask for help
[02:20.63]Try to pull themselves out of hell
[02:22.48]Then fall back down and then realize
[02:24.32]That they gon' have to do it themselves
[02:26.12]It's the circle of life
[02:28.01]As a man you provide
[02:29.63]They don't know what you're worth
[02:31.37]'Til the day that you die
[02:33.35]And that's when they start cryin'
[02:35.98]Then move on to a man to confide in
[02:39.69]That's why we feel
[02:40.6]We can't hide ourselves
[02:42.41]We can't hide ourselves
[02:44.01]We don't expect you to understand
[02:47.53]Understand
[02:47.94]We just hope we can explain
[02:50.62]We can explain
[02:51.52]What it's like to be a man
[02:53.95]What it's like to be a man
[02:55.22]It's a lonely road
[02:56.95]It's a lonely road
[02:58.79001]And you don't care 'bout what we know
[03:01.29]Care 'bout what we know
[03:02.81]It's not 'bout how we feel
[03:05.17]How we feel
[03:06.01]We provide inside that home
[03:09.14]Inside that home
[03:13.44]That home
[03:14.54]That home
[03:17.22]It's not 'bout how we feel
[03:19.34]Not 'bout how we feel
[03:20.75]We provide inside that home
[03:23.73]Inside that home
