Dax – „To Be A Man” Lyrics
Dax – „To Be A Man” Lyrics
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 about what you know
It’s not about how you feel but what you provide inside that home
Yeah
I know this life can really beat you down
You wanna scream but you won’t make a sound
Got so much weight that you’ve been holding but won’t show any emotion
As a man it goes unspoken
That we can’t cry when life gets hard
Unconditional love’s for women, children, and dogs
We know that we just have to play our parts
And don’t nobody give a d*mn about our broken hearts, yeah
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 payed
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…
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 about what you know
It’s not bout how you feel but what you provide inside that home
Don’t give up, keep fightin’
As a man our son(sun) is our horizon
And our father’s actions play a role
And we end up like ‘em
So they can’t let us see them hurt
‘Cause we’ll embody what they do
And start a generational curse
No wonder most 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 their mental health
Then grab that bottle and ask for help
Try to pull themselves out of h*ll
Then fall back down and then realize that they gon’ have to do it themselves
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
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
It’s a lonely road and you don’t about what we know
It’s not about how we feel but what we provide inside that home
That home
It’s not about how we feel but what we provide inside that home
