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)
Ne mogu se sakriti
Ne očekujem da razumijete
Samo se nadam da mogu objasniti
Kako je biti čovjek
To je usamljena cesta
I nije ih briga 'o onome što znaš
Nije 'o tome kako se osjećate
Ali ono što pružate u tom domu
[Stih 1]
Da, znam da vas ovaj život zaista može pobijediti, uh
Želiš vrištati, ali nećeš zvučati, uh
Imam toliko težine da ste držali
Ali neće pokazati nikakvu emociju, kao muškarac, to ide neizgovoreno
Da ne možemo plakati kad život postane težak
Bezuvjetna ljubav prema ženama, djeci i psima
Znamo da jednostavno moramo igrati svoje dijelove
I nemojte niko ne brinuti o našim slomljenim srcima, da
[Predhorus]
Kao muškarac moramo otvoriti svoj put
Naša jedina funkcija je raditi i rob
Nema poštovanja prema vama ako niste plaćeni
Zanemareni ste kao čovjek i ne možete se žaliti
A ako to ikad nadoknadite i zapravo dođete do tog mjesta
I pronađite ženu koju volite i dajte joj svoje prezime
Osjetit ćete stvari koje pružate samo je razlog zašto ona ostaje
A kad pokušate objasniti, reći ćete
[Zbor]
Ne mogu se sakriti
Ne očekujem da razumijete
Samo se nadam da mogu objasniti
Kako je biti čovjek (kako je to biti čovjek)
To je usamljena cesta (to je usamljena cesta)
I nije ih briga 'o onome što znaš (briga' što znaš)
Nije 'o tome kako se osjećate
Ali ono što pružate u tom domu
[Stih 2]
Ne odustajte, nastavite se boriti
Kao čovjek, naš sin je naš horizont
A postupci naših očeva igraju ulogu i završimo poput njega
Tako da nam ne mogu dopustiti da ih povrijede
Jer će utjeloviti ono što radimo i započeti generacijsko prokletstvo
Nije ni čudo što je većina muškaraca toliko depresivna
Sve stvari koje ne mogu izraziti
Idu u rat, bacaju se na policu
Zatim se vratite u rat s mentalnim zdravljem
Zatim zgrabite tu bocu i zatražite pomoć
Pokušajte se izvući iz pakla
Zatim padne natrag i onda shvatite
Da oni to moraju sami učiniti
[Predhorus]
To je krug života, kao čovjek, pružate
Ne znaju što vrijediš do dana kad umreš
I tada počinju plakati
Zatim prijeđite na čovjeka da se povjeri
Zato se osjećamo
[Zbor]
Ne možemo se sakriti
Ne očekujemo da razumijete
Nadamo se samo da možemo objasniti
Kako je biti čovjek (kako je to biti čovjek)
To je usamljena cesta (to je usamljena cesta)
I nije vas briga 'o onome što znamo (briga' o onome što znamo)
Nije 'o tome kako se osjećamo
Ali ono što pružamo u tom domu (unutar tog doma)
Taj dom
Nije 'o tome kako se osjećamo
Ali ono što pružamo u tom domu (unutar tog doma)
