[Verse]
Two a.m. eyes wide
No rest in sight
Four hours of sleep
Greet the cruel daylight
Pockets empty
Heart heavy
Still I fight
[Chorus]
It's called being a man
Standing tall when you can't
Holding hope in your hands
When the world won't give a damn
Being broke
Being bruised
Being proud of the scars
It's called being a man
Chasing dreams through the dark
[Verse 2]
Bills stack like mountains
No peak in view
Alone in the silence
But the faith feels true
Every crack in the mirror says you'll make it through
[Bridge]
Grit in the teeth
Fire in the veins
Walking through storms
Dancing in the rain
No one sees the pain
But you bear the chain
[Chorus]
It's called being a man
Standing tall when you can't
Holding hope in your hands
When the world won't give a damn
Being broke
Being bruised
Being proud of the scars
It's called being a man
Chasing dreams through the dark
[Outro]
One day it might work
One day it might break
But till that day comes
I'll carry the weight
It's called being a man
And that's what I'll stay
