[Intro]
Echoes of the struggle, pounding deep
Fightin' through the dark to find my truth
Steel resolve, keep my stance
Learning from my past, I take my chance
[Verse 1]
Climbing out of shadows, digging through the pain
Fake masks fall away, revealing who remains
Every mistake's a lesson, heavy on my chest
Quest to be a real man, I won’t settle for less
[Pre-Chorus]
Living with regret, but I rise again
Building from within, breaking all my chains
Dreams slipping through my hands, but I won’t give in
Learning what it means to truly begin
[Chorus]
I wanna be a real man, stronger than before
Facing every demon, knocking down the door
No more phony acts, just honesty in my soul
Learning every day, making myself whole
[Verse 2]
Worryin' 'bout the future, feelin' overwhelmed
Child support, bills, not sure if I can handle the realm
Yearning for a better life, a place to call my own
But fears and doubts keep throwing me back home
[Pre-Chorus]
The weight of choices, I carry on my back
Guided by my family, along this rocky track
Seeking wisdom from my dad and sisters' voice
Finding my identity, making my own choice
[Chorus]
I wanna be a real man, stronger than before
Facing every demon, knocking down the door
No more phony acts, just honesty in my soul
Learning every day, making myself whole
[Bridge]
Life ain't easy, but I gotta stay strong
Every mistake is where I belong
Building character in the fire of my doubt
Rising up, breaking out
[Outro]
One day at a time, I’ll find my way
Striving to be better, come what may
For myself, I swear I'll stand tall and true
Learning what it means to be real, anew
