[Intro]
Yeah…
It’s a cycle…
They don’t see it though
They just see the results
[Hook]
It’s the circle of a man, I provide, I don’t break
Carry weight on my back, every move that I make
Even when I’m feelin’ lost, got a smile on my face
‘Cause if I fall, whole family lose they place
It’s the circle of a man, I don’t run, I don’t hide
Put my pain in the dark, let my kids see the light
Even when I’m empty, I still give ‘em my life
That’s the circle, yeah… that’s the price
⸻
[Verse 1]
Wake up early, got the pressure on repeat
Bills on the table, nightmares when I sleep
Tryna be a father, but I’m fightin’ just to breathe
They don’t hear the silence when I’m drownin’ underneath
Got dreams too, but I put ‘em on hold
Turn a young soul into a heart made of gold
Every sacrifice, yeah it’s never been told
I just play my role, even when it get cold
I been breakin’ down, but I never let it show
Got demons in my mind, but I keep ‘em on a leash though
They see a strong man, they don’t see the low
They don’t see the nights I was losin’ all control

[Verse 2]
Ain’t no days off, even when I’m feelin’ weak
Still show up strong, even when I’m incomplete
Tryna give ‘em everything I never got to see
Build a better life, even if it costs me
They don’t teach you how to carry all the load
How to stay solid when you walkin’ through the cold
How to love hard when your heart feel froze
Still stand tall, never let it all fold
And yeah I got scars that nobody knows
Conversations with myself I never told
If I break down, who gon’ fill my role?
So I patch it up quick and I stay on go

[Bridge]
Who gon’ catch me when I fall?
Who gon’ hear me when I call?
I been givin’ them my all…
Still I stand, I won’t crawl

[Final Hook]
It’s the circle of a man, I provide, I don’t break
Even when it’s too much, I got moves I gotta make
Yeah I carry all the pain, every risk that I take
‘Cause love ain’t words, it’s the choices I make
It’s the circle of a man, yeah I live for my name
For my kids, for my blood, I endure all the pain
Even if they never see what I gave or I gave
I’ma still be the reason that they safe
