lyrics

I want to be a good man
I want to be a good man

But if I won’t be confronted with anything I’ve done
Now you must try and understand why a man might do you wrong

I grew up
I grew up
I grew up with a father who told me what it takes to be a man
Even when you feel like falling you must stand, son
Because that is what it means to be a man

I grew up
I grew up
I grew up with friends who would fight me and fight me until I fought them
And everything in my life gives me a second chance
Oh man, it’s so hard to be a man
Oh man, it’s so hard to be a man

I grew up
I grew up
I grew up in a body, but nobody will mistake that for who I am
Born at the top of the ladder where I can fly when I feel like it
But, what if I decide to question the truth?
Maybe being a man doesn’t make me better than you

I grew up
I grew up
I grew up with thoughts, because no one ever forced me to turn them off
Every idea I’ve had gets to run its course
Now here I am,
No such thing as a good man
