capo: 4th fret[chorus]
i can’t hidGe myself
i don’t expDect you to understand
i just hEmope i can explain
what it’s lCike to be a man
it’s a lonGely road, and they don’t cDare about what you know
it’s nEmot about how you feel but what you prCovide inside that home
[verse]
yeah
G i know this life can really beat you down
D you wanna scream but you won’t make a sound
Em got so much weight that you've been holding but won’t Cshow any emotion
as a man it goes unspoken
that Gwe can’t cry when life gets hard
unDconditional love’s for women, children, and dogs
Emwe know that we just have to play our parts
and don’t nobCody give a damn about our broken hearts, yeah
[pre-chorus]
Gas a man we gotta pave our way
Dour only function is to work and slave
Emthere’s no respect for you if you ain’t payed
you’re disregaCrded as a human and you can’t complain
and if you eGver make it up and actually reach that place
and find a woDman that you love and give her your last name
you’ll feel the thEmings that you provide is only why she stays
and when you tCry to explain you’ll say…
[chorus]
i can’t hidGe myself
i don’t expDect you to understand
i just hEmope i can explain
what it’s lCike to be a man
it’s a lonGely road, and they don’t cDare about what you know
it’s nEmot about how you feel but what you prCovide inside that home
[verse]
don’t give uGp, keep fightin’
as a man our son(sun) is our hoDrizon
and our father’s actions play a role
and we end up like ‘Emem
so they can’t let us see them hurt
‘cause we’ll embCody what they do
and start a generational curse
no wonder most mGen are so depressed
all the things that they can’t express
they go to wDar
get thrown on the shelf
then go back to war with their mental health
then grab that boEmttle and ask for help
try to pull themselves out of hell
then fall back dCown and then realize that they gon’ have to do it themselves
it’s the circle of life
as a man you provide
they don’t knDow what you’re worth ‘til the day that you die
and that’s when they stCart cryin’
then move on to a mDan to confide in
[chorus]
that’s why we feel
we can’t hGide ourselves
we don’t expDect you to understand
we just hEmope we can explain
what it’s Clike to be a man
it’s a lonGely road and you don’t cDare about what we know
it’s Emnot about how we feel but what we prCovide inside that home
that hDome
it’s nEmot about how we feel but what we prCovide inside that home
