I can't hide myself
I don't expect you to understand
I just hope I can explain
What it's like to be a man

I can't hide myself
I don't expect you to understand
I just hope I can explain
What it's like to be a man
It's a lonely road
And they don't care 'bout what you know
It's not 'bout how you feel
But what you provide inside that home
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I know this life can really beat you down, uh
You wanna scream but you won't make a sound, uh
Got so much weight that you've been holdin'
But won't show any emotion, as a man, that goes unspoken
That we can't cry when life gets hard
Unconditional love for women, children, and dogs
We know that we just have to play our parts
And don't nobody give a damn about our broken hearts, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
As a man, we gotta pave our way
Our only function is to work and slave
There's no respect for you if you ain't paid
You're disregarded as a human and you can't complain
And if you ever make it up and actually reach that place
And find a woman that you love and give her your last name
You'll feel the things that you provide is only why she stays
And when you try to explain, you'll say
[Chorus]
I can't hide myself
I don't expect you to understand
I just hope I can explain
What it's like to be a man (What it's like to be a man)
It's a lonely road (It's a lonely road)
And they don't care 'bout what you know (Care 'bout what you know)
It's not 'bout how you feel
But what you provide inside that home
[Verse 2]
Don't give up, keep fightin'
As a man, our son is our horizon
And our fathers' actions play a role and we end up like him
So they can't let us see them hurt
Cause they'll embody what we do and start a generational curse
No wonder most men are so depressed
All the things that they can't express
They go to war, get thrown on the shelf
Then go back to war with they mental health
Then grab that bottle and ask for help
Try to pull themselves out of hell
Then fall back down and then realize
That they gon' have to do it themselves
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the circle of life, as a man, you provide
They don't know what you're worth 'til the day that you die
And that's when they start cryin'
Then move on to a man to confide in
That's why we feel
[Chorus]
We can't hide ourselves
We don't expect you to understand
We just hope we can explain
What it's like to be a man (What it's like to be a man)
It's a lonely road (It's a lonely road)
And you don't care 'bout what we know (Care 'bout what we know)
It's not 'bout how we feel
But what we provide inside that home (Inside that home)
That home
It's not 'bout how we feel
But what we provide inside that home (Inside that home)
Ez nikarim xwe veşêrim
Ez ji we hêvî nakim ku hûn fêm bikin
Ez tenê hêvî dikim ku ez dikarim rave bikim
Whati dibe ku ew bibe merivek
Ew rêyek tenêtî ye
Û ew eleqedar nakin 'ku hûn dizanin
Ew ne ku hûn çawa hîs dikin
Lê tiştê ku hûn di hundurê malê de peyda dikin
[Ayet 1]
Erê, ez dizanim ev jiyan bi rastî dikare we bişkîne, Uh
Tu dixwazî qîr bikî lê tu dê dengek neke, uh
Giraniya ku we girtiye
Lê wekî mirovek, wekî mirovek, ku bêçare diçe, tu hestyarî nîşan nade
Ku em nekarin dema ku jiyan dijwar dibe
Evînek bê şert ji bo jin, zarok, û kûçikan
Em dizanin ku em tenê neçar in ku beşên xwe bilîzin
Û tu kes nahêlin ku dilê me yên şikestî, erê
[Pêş-chorus]
Wek zilamek, me rêyeka xwe pave kir
Fonksiyona me tenê kar û xulam e
Heke hûn nekarin drav nedin we ji we re rêz tune
Hûn wekî mirovek bêwate ne û hûn nikarin gilî bikin
If heke hûn carî wê çêbikin û bi rastî gihîştin wê derê
Û jinek ku hûn jê hez dikin bibînin û navê xwe yê paşîn bide
Hûn ê tiştên ku hûn peyda dikin hîs bikin tenê çima ew dimîne
Û gava ku hûn hewl didin ku rave bikin, hûn ê bêjin
[Qoro]
Ez nikarim xwe veşêrim
Ez ji we hêvî nakim ku hûn fêm bikin
Ez tenê hêvî dikim ku ez dikarim rave bikim
Whati ew e ku meriv merivek be (çi dibe bila bibe merivek be)
Ew rêçek tenêtî ye (ew rêyek tenê ye)
They ew eleqedar nakin 'tiştê ku hûn dizanin (lênêrîna' ji tiştê ku hûn dizanin)
Ew ne ku hûn çawa hîs dikin
Lê tiştê ku hûn di hundurê malê de peyda dikin
[Ayetek 2]
Dest nedin, şerê xwe bigirin '
Wekî merivek, kurê me horizonê me ye
Û kiryarên bav û kalên me rolek dilîzin û em mîna wî bi dawî dibin
Ji ber vê yekê ew nekarin me bidin êş
Sedema ku ew ê tiştê ku em dikin dikin û dest bi cirka nifşê dikin
Ne ecêb pir zilam ew qas depresyon in
Hemî tiştên ku ew nekarin îfade bikin
Ew diçin şer, avêtin ser sifrê
Dûv re vegere şer bi wan re tenduristiya giyanî
Dûv re wê şûşeyê bigirin û alîkariyê bipirsin
Biceribînin ku xwe ji dojehê derxînin
Dûv re vegerin û paşê fêm bikin
Ku ew gon 'neçar in ku xwe bikin
[Pêş-chorus]
Ew dora jiyanê ye, wekî zilamek, hûn pêşkêş dikin
Ew nizanin ku hûn roja ku hûn bimirin, hûn çi ne
That's ew gava ku ew dest bi cryin 'dikin
Dûv re biçin zilamek ku pêbawer bikin
Ji ber vê yekê em hest dikin
[Qoro]
Em nikarin xwe veşêrin
Em ji we hêvî nakin ku hûn fêm bikin
Em tenê hêvî dikin ku em dikarin rave bikin
Whati ew e ku meriv merivek be (çi dibe bila bibe merivek be)
Ew rêçek tenêtî ye (ew rêyek tenê ye)
You hûn eleqedar nakin 'Buti tiştê ku em dizanin (Lênihêrîn' Buti tiştê ku em dizanin)
Ew ne ku em çawa hest dikin
Lê tiştê ku em di hundurê malê de peyda dikin (di hundurê malê de)
Ew malê
Ew ne ku em çawa hest dikin
Lê tiştê ku em di hundurê malê de peyda dikin (di hundurê malê de)
