[00:00:00] I can\'t hide myself
[00:04:00] I don\'t expect you to understand
[00:07:00] I just hope
[00:08:00] I can explain
[00:11:00] What it\'s like to be a man
[00:15:00] It\'s a lonely road
[00:18:00] And they don\'t care \'bout what you know
[00:22:00] It\'s not \'bout how you feel
[00:25:00] But what you provide inside that home
[00:30:00] Being a man is what you make it
[00:33:00] You can\'t always live up to expectation
[00:36:00] You try to please everybody
[00:39:00] While you struggle so you fake it
[00:41:00] And end up out of balance compromising situations
[00:44:00] As a good man
[00:46:00] Do what he should man
[00:48:00] I give everything he has
[00:49:00] And do everything he could man
[00:51:00] You might find yourself feeling all alone
[00:55:00] Inside a house you built
[00:56:00] That you don\'t recognize as home
[00:59:00] And that\'s what my told daddy me
[01:01:00] And I\'ll tell my son same
[01:03:00] Now that I\'m older I relate
[01:05:00] And I actually feel his pain
[01:07:00] He never criedhe might have lied
[01:08:00] But he did not complain
[01:10:00] And he said son
[01:11:00] One day you\'ll have to do the same
[01:14:00] I get emotional
[01:15:00] When I stop
[01:16:00] And think and I look around
[01:18:00] Beyond the county lines of my small town
[01:21:00] I think about all the men out there
[01:23:00] Who feel like I do now
[01:25:00] Who are screaming on the inside
[01:26:00] But won\'t ever make a sound
[01:28:00] I can\'t hide myself
[01:31:00] I don\'t expect you to understand
[01:35:00] I just hope
[01:36:00] I can explain
[01:38:00] What it\'s like to be a man
[01:41:00] What it\'s like to be a man
[01:42:00] It\'s a lonely road
[01:44:00] It\'s a lonely road
[01:45:00] And they don\'t care \'bout what you know
[01:48:00] Care \'bout what you know
[01:50:00] It\'s not \'bout how you feel
[01:52:00] But what you provide inside that home
[01:56:00] Don\'t give up
[01:58:00] Keep fightin\'
[01:59:00] As a man our son is our horizon
[02:02:00] And our fathers\' actions play a role
[02:04:00] And we end up like him
[02:05:00] So they can\'t let us see them hurt
[02:07:00] \'Cause we\'ll embody what they do
[02:09:00] And start a generational curse
[02:11:00] No wonder most men are so depressed
[02:13:00] All the things that they can\'t express
[02:15:00] They go to war get thrown on the shelf
[02:17:00] Then go back to war with they mental health
[02:18:00] Then grab that bottle
[02:19:00] And ask for help
[02:20:00] Try to pull themselves out of hell
[02:22:00] Then fall back down and then realize
[02:24:00] That they gon\' have to do it themselves
[02:26:00] It\'s the circle of life
[02:28:00] As a man you provide
[02:29:00] They don\'t know what you\'re worth
[02:31:00] \'Til the day that you die
[02:33:00] And that\'s when they start cryin\'
[02:35:00] Then move on to a man to confide in
[02:39:00] That\'s why we feel
[02:40:00] We can\'t hide ourselves
[02:42:00] We can\'t hide ourselves
[02:44:00] We don\'t expect you to understand
[02:47:00] Understand
[02:47:00] We just hope we can explain
[02:50:00] We can explain
[02:51:00] What it\'s like to be a man
[02:53:00] What it\'s like to be a man
[02:55:00] It\'s a lonely road
[02:56:00] It\'s a lonely road
[02:58:00] And you don\'t care \'bout what we know
[03:01:00] Care \'bout what we know
[03:02:00] It\'s not \'bout how we feel
[03:05:00] How we feel
[03:06:00] We provide inside that home
[03:09:00] Inside that home
[03:13:00] That home
[03:14:00] That home
[03:17:00] It\'s not \'bout how we feel
[03:19:00] Not \'bout how we feel
[03:20:00] We provide inside that home
[03:23:00] Inside that home
