As a man in this world, growing up is realizing
That you really are all you have is with yourself

That's really all you have

And get used to disappointment, get used to being tired
Get used to feeling used, get used to feeling drained

Get used to those emotions

And I'm not saying it in a bad way, but
That's just the hard truth and reality
There's gonna be more people depending
On you than you depending on them
So that's gon' lead to disappointment
That's gon' lead to sadness, tiredness
That's gon' lead to feeling used, feeling drained
That's gon' lead to all those emotions

That's all I'm saying, so get used to that as a man and it's reality
You all you have is yourself, realistically
And there's gon' be more people depending
On you than you depending on them
That's just a hard truth about being a man
That's how, that's how our life is built
That's all I'm saying

You supposed to build your own foundation
And build your own people around you
That's gonna depend on you, that's just the reality of life

Look

Still I'm outside in the cold

I stood next to the ice and expected to give you my core

The prettiest privilege starts in the
Winter, the children are waiting for snow

Look, can't start from a pygmy, a dad he ain't ever coming home
Some things you just have to accept

Look, and I'll be a fool if I didn't give thanks, I'm blessed

Every time that I cope with the things that I want
It's like I seem to forget
All I know is that life's a test
You ain't gonna pass, you're far from the left
Right is a thing, belief in a man
It's a matter of kind that we're trying our best
Don't talk like you ain't all fucked up
We all have something to sort out
We all have something that plays on our mind

At night when the curtains are pulled down
We all take measure and judge
Damage and think that we're useless to cope
I ain't better than no one, I might not smoke
But every girl that I meet is a home
Filling the hole, filling the void
Maybe the music is part of the noise
