[Dax:]

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

[Atlus:]

Too much pressure on my shoulders, it gets tough to be

The person bringing in the bread and be the lover that you need

For self-care, yeah I had to let go

I'd be lying if I told you that it never takes a toll on

My mind, I need someone to save me

But I have to be the one who's saving you

When you're exhausted I'm a shoulder where you mend

Gotta stay strong, what can I do when

[Dax:]

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

[Ben Becker:]

I know a lotta men don't feel the same but I don't feel ashamed

Letting the water fall when my heart's ablaze

Daddy taught me that was how to put a fire out

So when I'm hurting I don't mind to cry my eyes out

I only have a few examples of a man in my life

And only one who made perfection life-like so I try

To remember two words when I don't know what to do

Don't forget "Jesus wept" and brother so can you

[Dax:]

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

[The Mediary:]

They said it's all in my head and I guess that makes sense

'Cause everything I feel, I keep in 'cause it's different for men

We talk about our feelings, we're called oversensitive

We're asked to strike a balance, it doesn't exist so we

Bottle everything up in our minds

We grow cold, dark, alone as we slowly die

Ya ever wonder why it's mostly men who commit suicide?

We figure why not, we're already dead inside

[Dax:]

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

[Hailey Dayton:]

You picked me up when I was broken

You pieced together words that were not spoken

You found a way to see me as I was

Even when the world hasn't shown you the same love

You're expected to do everything on your own

Provide and then hide all the feelings that you hold

But your heart is deserving, now show it

I see you for who you are, I hope that you know

[Dax (Hailey Dayton):]

I can't hide myself ( hide yourself)

I don't expect you to understand (I'll try my best 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

[Brutha Rick:]

I know we all got decisions to make

But it seems that my decisions cause division, I hate this pride

I break inside but I cannot cry

'Cause all I wanna do is provide

I was made for this, I'm a father of seven, my oldest is twenty, my youngest eleven

And they all gotta eat so I bury my feelings and stand on my feet

Like they told me, gotta be grown they told me

You're on your own they told me, but we're not alone He showed me

[Dax:]

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

[Phix:]

Yeah, patiently waiting for God to show me signs I need

I'm not the man for the job, all the things I can't be

Put all my feelings aside

I think that I'll be better off when I'm not alive

Fought through depression for years and I tried to hide it

Almost put pressure and pulled it but I decided

To give it all that I can

But this what it's like to be a man

[Dax:]

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

[Skywalker DaVinci:]

As a man if you show your emotions they take you for weak and this ain't nothing new

Teaching my son to be mentally strong and prepare for the battle, he ain't even two

Being a father is lit but I gotta admit that sometimes I don't know what to do

Provide and protect was the name of the game I was playing for you and you know that it's true

Unconditional love ain't reality but you can't take a look from my view

A lotta my days were blooping and dogging me so I fought and you didn't have a clue

When I had it we had it together but now we divided your colors are true

I shouldn't have to ask for no help if you knew I was struggling, I woulda did it for you

[Dax:]

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

[Shane Fraenkel:]

I'm sorry, I never knew

All the things that you go through

I never meant to put your pain aside

Didn't mean to make you need to hide

These demons in your head, they'll tell you you're less than

But I'm here to tell you that you're more than perfect

And don't let the voices make you think you're worthless

'Cause you're worth it, you've got this

[Dax (Shane Fraenkel):]

I can't hide myself

I don't expect you to understand

I just hope I can explain (I just hope I'll understand)

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

[ThaGreatWhite:]

There's just a lot I wanna say

To be a man requires you to hide the pain, you find yourself

Inside a hole you can't get out, even though you wanna shout

'Cause the pain is just unbearable (oh no no)

I just wanna cry and be given a hug

And be told everything will be okay

[?(ŐдŐ๑)]

I have a family that depends on me, oh

[Dax:]

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

[KaveMan Brown:]

Look, as a man they expect you to be strong, as someone to lean on no matter what you dealing with

I just lost a couple friends to drugs and when I woke up in the morning man I really wasn't feeling it

But I gotta try to bottle the pain but when they took my son away I had to try to find a will to live

Putting five whole years at a job then I got laid off and the news had me feeling sick

I been drowning in the deep end, anybody wanna give me a reason?

I don't even try to bother with a social life 'cause I would rather be alone on the weekends

Just chilling with my demons, and I just to suppress the depression, in need of a blessing 'cause I'm really 'bout to lose it all

Just remember that I tried to be a man when you lose me y'all and I'm gone

[Dax:]

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 h
