Johnny Juliano - The Becoming lyrics

Intro: You come into this world a boy... But will you leave a man? Verse 1 It takes heart to wanna be a man And it takes a bigger heart to truly understand What we as men go through on a daily basis But you won't ever know it Cos' we hide and never show it Nowadays it's complicated trying to be a man Do I buss guns or do I hold your hand? And can I trust you with who I really am? Me I'm just a Clark Kent The world wants a Superman But I say fear him who never sheds a tear Cos' one day he'll break down and disappear Since caveman days,it's in our DNA to provide by Any means, any way And that desire to provide runs deep So that means most time we don't get no sleep Staring at the ceiling doing mad calculations High blood pressure,mad palpitations Chorus I'm just trying be a man Trying to do the best I can I'm just trying be a man x2 Verse 2 Ladies please you know we don't speak much But understand it's not as easy as it seems We're in a tug of war where we can't look weak So opening up to you is kind of like defeat But your patience is our Kryptonite Yes we do have feelings but you see we just internalise Holding hands ain't the issue It's just hard when the past won't let you We used to get dissed for being whipped So when you hold our hands we might cringe a little bit Just remember to forgive Product of our mindstates we were just kids But we're still trying get it right Emotional side but still able to Kimbo Slice One day we'll say we love you It may take time just be hopeful Chorus I'm just trying be a man Trying to do the best I can I'm just trying be a man x2 But what's a man? What's a man? What's a man? They say a man with a plan is a man But a man with no plan is still a man How dare you knock us down When we still trying to stand Never define a man by his chain Never define a man by his range Those are just fraudulent identities I'm begging you please become the man you're supposed to be Strong enough to lead when he needs to Weak enough to share what he's been through Be the man you are with no regrets Don't expect to know it all,this a process Yes! So let's progress,from boys to men So we can raise boys to men We may slip and fall before we get there I'll see you at the promise land when we get there Outro Everyday we're becoming... Boys trying to be men Some of us we didn't even have a role model to get there So we gotta figure it out ourselves If you're trying to be a man out there Keep striving ...one day we'll get there
