TO BE A MAN.

Is a lonely road
Out there just all alone
You fall back on your back
No one reaches out hand
To pull you back to your feet but yourself.

You don’t expect them
To understand of what
It takes to be a man
Is not about what you feel
But what you provide in that home.

I don’t expect you to understand
Because is a lonely road out there
And they don’t care what you know
Life beats us down several times
There is so much weight that weighs us down.

But you don’t expect us to show our emotion
As a man we have to pay our way
As man we have to show up providing always
And will just cannot hide our self
What is it like to be a man.

As no one cares what you know
How you feel and when you’re emotionally down
So depressed frustrated and tired of it all
Trying to pull yourself up then you fall back
To be a man.

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.

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
