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)
Men o'zimni yashira olmayman
Siz tushunishingizni kutmayman
Men shunchaki tushuntirib bera olaman degan umiddaman
Bu odam bo'lish nima
Bu yolg'iz yo'l
Va ular nima bilgan narsangizga ahamiyat bermaydi
Bu o'zingizni qanday his qilayotganingizni anglatmaydi
Lekin uyda nimani taqdim etasiz
[1-oyat]
Ha, men bu hayot sizni chindan ham urishi mumkinligini bilaman, uh
Siz qichqirmoqchi emassiz, lekin siz ovoz chiqarmaysiz, uh
Siz ushlab turganingiz juda ko'p
Lekin hech qanday hissiyotni, u oshkor qilinmaydi
Hayot qiyin bo'lganda yig'lay olmaymiz
Ayollar, bolalar va itlarga so'zsiz sevgi
Biz shunchaki bizning qismlarimizni o'ynashimiz kerakligini bilamiz
Va hech kim buzilgan yuraklarimiz haqida la'nat bermaydi, ha
[Xordan oldin]
Odam sifatida biz yo'l ochishimiz kerak
Bizning yagona vazifamiz - ishlash va qul
Agar siz to'lamagan bo'lsangiz, sizga hurmat yo'q
Siz inson sifatida e'tiborsizsiz va shikoyat qila olmaysiz
Va agar siz buni amalga oshirsangiz va u o'sha joyga etib borsangiz
Va siz sevgan ayolni toping va unga familiyangizni bering
Siz o'zingiz beradigan narsalarni faqat nima uchun turadi deb o'ylaysiz
Va tushuntirishga harakat qilganingizda, aytaman
[Xor]
Men o'zimni yashira olmayman
Siz tushunishingizni kutmayman
Men shunchaki tushuntirib bera olaman degan umiddaman
Bu odam bo'lishga nima yordam beradi (u erkak bo'lishga o'xshaydi)
Bu yolg'iz yo'l (bu yolg'iz yo'l)
Va ular nima bilgan narsangizni "deb bilishmaydi"
Bu o'zingizni qanday his qilayotganingizni anglatmaydi
Lekin uyda nimani taqdim etasiz
[2-oyat]
Taslim bo'lmang, kurashni davom ettiring
Erkak sifatida bizning o'g'limiz bizning ufqimiz
Ota-bobolarimizning xatti-harakatlari rol o'ynaydi va biz u kabi yakunlaymiz
Shunday qilib, ular bizni xafa bo'lishlarini ko'rishimiz mumkin emas
Ular nima qilayotganimizni va avlod la'nati boshlaymiz
Aksariyat erkaklar juda tushkunlikka tushgani ajablanarli emas
Ular o'zlari ifoda etmaydigan narsalarning barchasi
Ular urushga boradilar, javonga tashlanadilar
Keyin ular ruhiy salomatlik bilan urushga qayting
Keyin bu shishani ushlang va yordam so'rang
O'zlarini do'zaxdan olib chiqishga harakat qiling
Keyin pastga tushing va keyin amalga oshiring
Ular gon 'buni o'zlari qilishlari kerak
[Xordan oldin]
Bu hayot doiralari, erkak sifatida, siz ko'rsatasiz
Ular siz o'lgan kuningizni bilmaydi
Va ular marshni boshlaganda
Keyin kurashish uchun erkakka o'ting
Shuning uchun biz sezamiz
[Xor]
Biz o'zimizni yashay olmaymiz
Siz tushunishingizni kutmaymiz
Biz shunchaki tushuntirishimizga umid qilamiz
Bu odam bo'lishga nima yordam beradi (u erkak bo'lishga o'xshaydi)
Bu yolg'iz yo'l (bu yolg'iz yo'l)
Va biz bilgan narsalarimizni "deb bilmaysiz
Bu biz qanday his qilmaymiz
Ammo biz uyda nimani taqdim etamiz (uy ichida)
Bu uy
Bu biz qanday his qilmaymiz
Ammo biz uyda nimani taqdim etamiz (uy ichida)
