What is a MAN?

(Thank you for being here And welcome This is the finale) What is a man? Like when it's pouring cuz the rain helps soothe my burns What is a man? I been exploring taking tours I'm tryna learn What is a man? The one who doesn't want to but still makes it work What is a man? It's not your age it's bout the honor that you earned Who is a man? I am a man I make it work when I been burnt out And turned into the first to have their family concerned bout The truest happiness Pursuit of true extravagance It's true We used to be worried bout money now we passionate Bout breaking fears Might need to hear It's not about the years that's in your life But bout the life that's in your years So take your time open your ears Cuz listening and patience Is an easy innovation Make investments in your strength And stop yourself when you've been breaking Taking time for yourself Make your mind chase your health Ain't it fine When aligned With the balance you're compelled To sit inside like a belt Holds you back from all you felt To be the future that you're seeking When you come out of your shell The comfort zone is something dangerous When it holds you from your hopes You wanna stay where all you know And everybody always shows But something I learned over time's Discomfort's the first sign of growth So take some pride in what you're feeling Cuz your feelings help you hold Who is a man? I am a man I know it now Witness the power of the certainty With which I can allow Myself to ask for help Or even feel the need to scream and let it out I'm getting out Of all the traps I pass When I'm climbing the mountain Found him On the way to get a pound Never thought a man without a home Would find me feeling doubt The problem is The first words emerged When he opened his mouth He told me that his mother died And in his eyes I saw my found But also lost youngest brother And his unkilled mother Right before I saw the features of their family uncover That without a man inside the house Boys grow into a deadbeat Be the one to break the cycle if your family repeats Second time Is never as it seems The past just seems To fade into a dream A new beginning can wash away the old But so often it's the- (I'm over this whole oxygen thing For real) Its broken homes No open doors But we can make a change I made the PHASES just to show The progress you can make If you keep going If you keep taking every step you can take That's how you growing I can show you all this growth I made ain't fake All I can take Is on my plate I find a way To find the fate This ain't a game It's clear the fear I feel I heal and steer away I deal with evil in a way That leaves no trace To keep my place Cuz my commitments is the only scar I carry on my face And I'll admit I made mistakes But notice how I left a space On my left shoulder just in case Can you not see the shadow of the devil Marked where he would stay Cuz it's still recent that I raced him in I was chasing money up until I started facing sins Consequences haunt me from my old previous ways to win From paper that I spent From the hatred I was in From the aching and taking of patience I been struggling with From the nature of taking and favors that I huddled in But the prayers and safer labor helped me recover it And the fact that my momma praying is prolly why I lived Prolly why I'm still Prolly proud of practicing for real I cannot believe in talent I worked hard to build my skills If you making no mistakes then you likely not making nothing Something told me from above that I couldn't continue running Toughen up to build the love and the underlying assumptions Is meaningless if you dump them And live the life you been loving It's pushes that turn to shoving When the gloves come out When the love runs out When the funds cut out What is a man? I am a man See all I done somehow Is on the front stuck out Of memories that's about Who I could be and who I was Am I a father do I love Am I like mine Never enough I'm facing pasts I know was rough I face the path straight to the front I make it back and take it up Another notch cuz I can never stop Myself becoming numb (Breathe brother breathe) (Damn) What is a man?
