| I see it in the distance
|
| It’s not a physical thing
|
| It’s like this reoccuring dream
|
| See… see, I wanna get back to that, but
|
| I know my life is much more
|
| My purpose is much bigger than that
|
| I’mma have to do something bigger
|
| So that’s when I realized that…
|
| I gotta be a man
|
| I gotta take control
|
| I gotta step up
|
| Cause who’s gonna do it for me?
|
| I still think of you
|
| When I’m home alone
|
| And it’s a quarter to two
|
| I look at my phone
|
| Now I know I’m not gonna die
|
| Come on now, child
|
| You know I got too much pride
|
| You know I got too much pride
|
| Nobody’s gonna change my mind
|
| Nobody’s gonna ask the reasons why
|
| I tried to make you understand
|
| What it takes to be a man
|
| All I seek is the truth
|
| All I get is sticks and stones
|
| So tell me, what do I do…
|
| With these broken bones?
|
| Cause I’ve been walking for miles
|
| Come on now, child
|
| You know I’ve heard too many lies
|
| Ain’t trying to waste no more precious time
|
| Nobody’s gonna understand
|
| Nobody’s gonna hold my hand
|
| Oh lord knows I tried to understand
|
| What it takes to be man
|
| Be a man
|
| Be a man
|
| Be a man
|
| Be a man
|
| Nobody’s gonna understand
|
| Nobody’s gonna hold my hand
|
| Oh I tried to understand
|
| What it takes to be man
|
| And nobody’s gonna waste my time
|
| Don’t you ever ask me why |
