To Be a Man...

Open Verse

To Be a Man...

As a man,

When you're drowning,

Living with the fear of failure,

Understand,

Without frowning,

When you do appear to fail you're,

On your own,

Lost and hopeless,

No one's there to lend a hand,

Tragedies,

That you can't cope with,

No one cares just be a man.

They'll tell you to open up,

And when you do they'll turn their back,

Where's my proof? What's my source?

Trust me bro it's just a fact,

I've been down that road,

Thinking there's no way I'll make it back,

I just want you to know,

You ain't the only one to feel like that.
