(Lyrics):
I can't hide myself
I don't expect you to understand
I just hope I can explain
What it's like to be a man
It's a lonely road
And they don't care 'bout what you know
It's not 'bout how you feel
But what you provide inside that home
Bein' a man is what you make it
You can't always live up to expectations
You try to please everybody while you struggle, so you fake it
And end up out of balance, compromisin' situations
As a good man, a do what he should man
A give everything he has and do everything he could man
You might find yourself feelin' all alone
Inside a house you built that you don't recognize as home
And that's what my daddy told me and I'll tell my son the same
Now that I'm older, I relate and I actually feel his pain
He never cried, he mighta lied, but he did not complain
And he said, "Son, one day, you'll have to do the same
I get emotional when I stop I think and I look around
Beyond the county lines of my small town
I think about all the men out there who feel like I do now
Who are screamin' on the inside, but won't ever make a sound
I can't hide myself
I don't expect you to understand
I just hope I can explain
What it's like to be a man (What it's like to be a man)
It's a lonely road (It's a lonely road)
And they don't care 'bout what you know (Care 'bout what you know)
It's not 'bout how you feel
But what you provide inside that home
Don't give up, keep fightin'
As a man, our son is our horizon
And our fathers' actions play a role and we end up like him
So they can't let us see them hurt
'Cause we'll embody what they do and start a generational curse
No wonder most men are so depressed
All the things that they can't express
They go to war, get thrown on the shelf
Then go back to war with they mental health
Then grab that bottle and ask for help
Try to pull themselves out of hell
Then fall back down and then realize
That they gon' have to do it themselves
It's the circle of life, as a man, you provide
They don't know what you're worth 'til the day that you die
And that's when they start cryin' (Oh)
Then move on to a man to confide in
That's why we feel we can't hide ourselves (We can't hide ourselves)
We don't expect you to understand (Oh, understand)
We just hope we can explain (We can explain)
What it's like to be a man (What it's like to be a man)
It's a lonely road (It's a lonely road)
And you don't care 'bout what we know (Care 'bout what we know)
It's not 'bout how we feel (How we feel, how we feel)
But what we provide inside that home (Inside that home)
That home (That home)
It's not 'bout how we feel (Not about how we feel)
But what we provide inside that home (Inside that home)

Loving my husband of 17 years through his PTSD is really hard at times. I keep it to myself because I'm always told just to leave. No, I will not abandon my husband. I remember who he was before the war. Through God's grace I will forgive him and will continue to love him unconditionally.
❤
Praying ❤
You’re one hell of a woman, we are all thankful for the sacrifice you and your husband have made for us.
So many of us veterans suffer alone. Thank you for staying by his side! I would encourage him to seek help! Getting help has made my life 100 times better! You're the definition of Semper Fidelis
Wow, God bless you. That’s love.
To all the responsible husband and fathers out there , whose pain has been ignored...may God continue to bless your hustle and give you long life to one day sit and say ..my labor has paid off❤
I wish this for my father… 😢 amen
God , I would do anything to feel that someday. I would do anything to feel my heartbreak and my depression go away. 😢
As a father now of three beautiful children I understand more and more of my father.
RIP DAD 😢💔
All " Responsible Husbands and Fathers" ????? So if i work as a Soldier for the US Marines... and Shoot a man in Iraq... Am i a responsible husband and Father?
🙏
This song brought a grown man in tears. Thought of my father and how he paved the way for me. I know now what it is to be a man and honor his last name.
As a 25 about to 26 man and relizing that my dad has done everything his best to keep his two boys happy and not on the streets and he have never complain or cryed he has tough it out without a word has done things he didnt want to do to make safe in a good home and i will always love and appreciate my FATHER !! CUZ HE IS A GOOD MAN!
Not gonna lie I usually do my best to keep any emotions under wraps but this song got to me big time
You putting this out took guts. I know, in the US at least, men are persecuted just for being men.
I applaud you both going against the grain with this one
Absolutely beautiful song. People always go to battle for women, but what about our fathers, husbands, and sons.
This song is one of the best lyrics I have heard and I am incredible thankful to come across this song. To all the men out there that struggle- you got this and don’t ever give up!
It’s a very good song it brings out the words how to come everyone happy
Darius Rucker brought tears to my face, heart, and soul. Man u have only gotten better from ur start in the limelight with hootie and the blowfish til today. Always better than yesterday and always a man's man.
It’s actually Dax’s song, Darius just did the compilation with him, you should take a listen to Dax, his songs hit home
Ive been struggling trying to be the man I want to see to me, my kids and my wife. I understand why my dad left and ran. Amazing how a song can answer questions I had for 25+ years that no one could answer. There are those days where I do feel like running, more then I'd like to admit too. But once I catch that glimpse of my kids experienceing true happiness it makes all the pain and all the torment worth it, makes me keep trucking. I will break my family's curse I choose to be the last one and my god is it hard. Stay up to all the amazing men out there, we may not feel needed but we definitely are and don't give ourselves the credit we deserve!
Stay straight homie and keep going forward without looking back
This. This is powerful 👏 You are right, us wifes/moms do need you and most don't get the credit they deserve ❤
YOU GOT THIS, YOU SOUND LIKE AN AMAZING MAN WHO IS DOING HIS BEST!! STAAY THE COURSE, IM PROUD OF U!!
@inquisitorfederov5470 you need to leave that and should've long before now but I get it, it's not as easy as that. Be strong and leave as soon as you can. Get a support system in place for yourself! You need it! We're here for you!
@inquisitorfederov5470 No! If you have kids, you can't go. Please believe me when I say they're going to be lost without you, especially your boys. If you, as a man can't navigate your part of their world, how will they? Please don't force them to continue that heartbreaking cycle. You're not the only one affected. They know what's going on, & their little hearts are filled with fear, worry, anxiety, pain & heartbreak more than you know, even if they say nothing. If you leave them, you'll add anger & those emotions which will become more severe. Think about the destructive paths that'll become so much easier for them to take without your full attention & guidance. Their lives will be destroyed before they begin. Please, I've watched my son suffer his entire life with depression & a whole lot more until it destroyed and killed him. I'd give my life not to have married a destructive man. He deserved a real father, not a male person. It isn't enough. Those kids need a real family. Just as Christ is the head of His Church, so is a man the head of his household. A godly man. They need you to teach them how. They won't learn if you're not there. Moms can't do it. Only Dads can. You made the decision to have a family; they didn't get to make a choice. If you leave, they'll die before their bodies do. I haven't stopped sobbing since listening to that song, and it's all for the precious life that was lost before it was ever lived. Please, don't leave.
I’ve been struggling but I won’t give up. God protect and bless us
Amen
As a wife and mother to 6 sons, I felt this to my soul.
Even though most days I wake up disappointed in myself for not passing in my sleep, fighting just to do the most basic of tasks, just trying to appear “normal” so nobody asks any questions or pushes when I’m not ready… I try to remind myself that dealing with mental health is a tough…. But so am I. 💙
As a woman and a wife this hit me. It's horrific so many of you feel this way. Probably my own husband included. Absolutely broke my heart. It doesn't have to be this way. It is about what you all feel and not just what you provide inside the home. Ya'll deserve so so much more 💔
Thank you
I can guarantee your husband is in this situation and we don’t say anything. Because our kids and wives come first and they must be happy
Great song.
Thank you! As a man my heart has been broken for most of my life. I have never gotten in return what I give. I would always put the women in my life in a brand new vehicle while I drove the old one! I would always work extra hard to make more money to provide. I would always give whenever they would ask! Now I have been completely alone for most of 16 years. I'm very handsome, strong , and stay in good shape with physical fitness. I get approached all the time but I won't go there! It hurts to much
You're a good woman.
Got a grown man crying to himself. It's fine, i'll bear the emotion alone, so when my family are in tough times and feel vulnerable, they can always look to me as a pillar of strength to provide and protect.
Men cry in the dark.
Dax keep doing the music that you've been doing. You're shedding light
THIS IS POWERFUL.....LISTENING FROM KINGSTON JAMAICA🇯🇲🇯🇲
omg me at 65... this song explains my life. Except my father grew up in an age where men didnt talk about it... they suffered in silence. I learned as he learned. You bury it, you take care of business and that is what a man does. It aint about you. But it is... learn that, without you there is no other... but I still struggle at 65 with a little sister with cancer. Ache in my bones when the work day ends to come home and start again. Wouldn't trade it though, I still have my baby sister.
Only a true man,feel his heart..I salute the true men out there..Blessing to all❤
Wow...this made me understand my husband so much better...very deep and soulful
Thank you fam
Very real and sad song dax 👍👌😩
@thatsdax thank you for being our voice brother 💙
Bro dax I’m going to ur concert in may or June this song is my favorite.
It has always bothered me that men are expected to suffer in silence...... any woman should be proud of the man that is not afraid to break down and show how they feel.
Women dont feel safe with unstable, emotional men as much as they say they want it, and thats for good reason. They need firm resolute and decisive leaders, this frees them to embody the feminine.
Men need help and support from communities of other men. Men’s spaces have been eliminated by design. Bring them back. Men hold each other accountable and open up to each other. Synergy.
You show your women weakness or your problems ,she is gone .....
@@xoriongamer7763they say they gonna stay and they might stay for a little while but they will leave eventually most definitely
So thankful for men who are these men. How they keep us safe, held, loved. God, please hold them. We need these men.
Took my entire hour lunch break, and I've literally listened to this song on repeat.
I’m not the commenting kind or putting my feeling out kind but this brought a tear to my eye. So truthful and knowledgeable.
As a 40 year old man, son, father and single man, I can attest to these words. I feel them. I am emotionless most days, stolid. Stoic. But man. These words....
Such a beautiful true heart felt song..
This song just saved my life....
Thank you guys for this masterpiece. ❤
Fire bro! This song is the essence of man and all that is us! I can listen to this song all day! Thank you bro
Makes me see what my husband goes through and what my son will one day makes me so sad. I want them both to feel so loved by me and that I appreciate all they do.
You can break the cycle with your son. Teach him to understand that his feelings matter too. It's 2023. The easiest way to teach him this is to teach him how to recognize his tribe. Also, teach him to let his emotions escape (while staying in control of course). The most dangerous thing a man can do to his mental health is bottle it up. I'm glad this helps you understand your husband better. There needs to be a song like this for women so we can better understand y'all too.
I can't listen to Darius Rucker part and not shed a tear for how happy I am to be a father
I feel this song from both sides of the fence!! Knowing nobody cares about me for anything except what MONEY I can bring to the table, But Also Feeling the pain of having a Father that didnt even care enough to teach me how to "Be A Man" !!! But he sure taught me what NOT to be !!. I taught myself everything I know about being a GOOD Man and i think im doing pretty well!! BUT like many Good men, Im TOTALLY ALONE ON THIS PLANET because i refuse to lower myself and my standards just to have Friends or a woman. If i cant have a GREAT Woman and GOOD descent people as friends, Ill just stay to myself. My Dogs make me happy!!.
I pray our husbands understand how valuable and loved theyvare. This is a sad reality for many, I pray we do better at affirming them ❤
My brother just sent me this song saying this is how he feels and I told him it better not make me cry!!!! NOW IM SOBBING !!! I got a bone to pick with him now
1st solo version was stunning. 2nd version with all the collaboraters was brilliant. And now with Mr. Rucker was equally brilliant. You improved it from the original--twice. Thank you both.
May God bless all the men out there and make ends meet at a certain point in life
"It's not bout how you feel but what you provide inside that home" hits so hard.
DONE..........Thank you Dax and Darius for this beautiful heartfelt song. I pray I can win the PS 5 for my son...........
Ok, firstly, i really liked this, i thought it was lovely... but, no disrespect meant, that was it. It feels kinda empty...restrained.
"I've been screaming that I'm cut but you just watch me bleed
I can't love another woman 'cause the cycle repeats"
That sh*t is RAW... REAL...DAX. This song needs that realness. 2 amazing men with voices that BANG...i would love to see 'To Be A Man' with that realness.
You're song is actually an important topic, i feel...you guys have a PLATFORM... make it matter. I'm a mother of 3 Young men... there are enough hateful songs about men, now is a chance to let the world in on what it's REALLY like to be a man in 2024.
❤
I witnessed the words in this song through my son's. THANK YOU Darius..
Being fighting mental health for a couples weeks an this song is definitely for me but god has a road that we made for me an im still going down that road an will be finally going to counseling for it
Beautiful song. Perfectly put into words what I feel inside.
God, this really makes me miss my daddy. He passed away a year ago. I remember the first time I saw him cry and how upset he was. He said men don't cry. My sister and I told him from that day on, that real men cry. They show their feelings. It hurts knowing how many men are still raised to believe that they shouldn't show their feelings.
.., this kind of energy can project power in a completely different direction. This is special bro. Bring it to south Mississippi soon. We got you!
Always heard that the family that prays together stays together and after my parents have passed away those memoies still hold true now that i am at teir age.
Man I just cannot get enough of this song I think I have watched every video every short clip every remix, I even love to watch other people hear it for the first time and just to watch their face and to listen to their comments guys and girls song is so powerful it's just amazing and it couldn't have come at a more perfect time love you. And I love Darius Rucker you guys made one hell of a team
This song is about go off and run up the ranks🔥🔥🔥
I’ve listened 10 times in a row💯💯💯💯💯
It's never easy for a man💔
For anyone who found themselves relating to this song. You are not alone and you are seen and heard. ❤️
I’m so sorry yall feel this way. I sent it to the Father I love the most. This is his mindset and I try to just love him as gracefully as I can despite how much he gets on my nerves not taking care of himself. I know he can use somebody reminding him how rare it is for a person to take what they believe is their mission in life seriously. A lot of people feel this weight of family, reject it and condemn the audacity of such expectations. Integrity is rare. You’re a King. I don’t believe any one member of the family should lose themselves in their mission. Even if all you want to do is right by those you love you can’t pour from an empty cup. I always try to remind him although I know that’s bs to a Father who is all in. As someone who loves his soul I can’t stand to watch it die.
I love You brother for speaking up for all of us Brother I'm speechless my Brother thank You for this really and truly 1Love my brothers
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG!!! ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This broke my heart, I see my Dad still living this way. Even as a female I do the same to make sure my man is appreciated and I give my all even if it means losing my own joy.
Dax ♥️♥️ thank you...
I love this song ❤ thank you Dax and Durris R❤ love you both thank you both ❤️
Thank you! We're all blessed 🙏
To every man this gaurenteee hit home I partially heared it and then had to search it up and then watched it with the lyrics but it hit and hit hard made me shed a tear when I heared it no doubt
God, give us strength to provide, we are not alone.
Listening to this song and thinking on about my father role as a man for more than 10 years without a mum who passed away in 2013. Dad has been a man strongest I have ever seen.. every he can for all his children. I love him with all my heart ❤
There’s no choice we’ll keep fighting
Why is it that some of the women have to try and take this song away from the men?? It just shows how true the words of the song are.😂
Done💔☹️ for every man ....have faith ❤
This song is really good. I felt it and it made me tear up.
I'm sending this to all the men in my life. Thank you Dax. You did a thing with this one. Love you
Done!! From Mississippi... your music has helped me realize I'm not alone ❤
Done 2:48
I lost my son last August 27th and every time I sing this song it breaks my heart knowing I won’t be able to be a man to my only son. I cry every time I hear this knowing I have a void in my heart. I have a daughter on the way but every day I think I’m not good enough to raise her. It’s hard to even write this knowing I’m failed
Damn bro 😢this my first time listening to it ,it's like me talking 😢😢
As a man I don't tell anyone what I feel or when I'm holding on by a thread just because I don't want to burden anyone with my problems....I fear one day the thread is going to snap. I haven't felt ok in so long but hey, it is what it is
...😢 if it matters to you, I'm almost sure that when you start talking they'll appreciate you choosing to talk to them and how they'll understand.
May God continue to Bless and Lead you.
God is great!!! Most responsibilities are on men! As it is written in the Bible!! Peace and love!!
Love to all man who don't give up on thier family nomatter what they went through ❤
This hits home.....
It's not just about being a man. Us single mothers feel the same way. Thank god my son has his father in his life. We aren't together, but we fight together to make sure that my son has everything he needs. His dad is an amazing man, but this song applies to both of us
Wow this song really made me sit and think about how I sometimes can take my husband for granted. I couldn't help but send this to him and ask him to listen to it. At this point idk what to ask but I know I just wanted to twll him that I love him and that I'm sorry if I sometimes act like I don't appreciate what he has sacrificed for me and our children. Thanks for this song young man.
to my beloved wife and children, I don't need you to understand what it's like to be a man, let all the burdens and responsibilities rest on my shoulders, because you are my strength to live life
Dax and this song is the only thing that keeps me afloat. I feel the hurt and feel for all that are struggling.
Florida man here. We all have our demons we try to hide and muddle through the best way we can.
I’m a lost cause. I can’t remember the last time I was genuinely happy
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
LIFE UP YOUR HUSBANDS AND SONS❤❤❤❤
Even listening to this now. I wanna just lay down and let it out. But i know i cant because of all of my siblings and my own parents that count on me for a lot. I gotta be there, for them, for my friends, for everyone really.
Listening to that song make me wanna pour out my pain 😢
I better see this song being used in movies 🔥
This is what we consider a song. Other artists could take inspiration from this. Create amazing music. It's important for musicians to recognize that songs are meant to touch the soul and bring healing.
Truth, stay strong Kings 👑
Damn this hit home. As a man I feel this and I know most men do. F@%# I hate feeling like this
Suck it up. Don't let this song get in your feels. Put your boots on and do what needs to be done. If not you, then who?
Yeah suck it up. You keep sucking it up till one day, the demons are too much, and you cant hold that finger off that light weight trigger.... We all suck it up everyday most dont talk about how they are truly feeling because they cant or dont because theyll be put down for not being a man and to just deal with it and suck it up...
Prayers from one man to another
Darius Rucker is the guy who was thrown out of a 20yr marriage and instead of giving up, he just turned to his music and this is a sign of the fact that life doesn't end until it's really over. Being a man is hard, at nearly 27 of age I think I've had my fair share of it but giving up isn't the answer. Finding the best way to survive and thrive is the ultimate goal in this world
At first the allure of this song was Darrius Rucker, rhyming this way. Then every single word he recorded was a particular pain that every single man experiences. Not because women don't, they sure do. But to hear a man of his stature, reverence, was saying them. This is a rare way that a man feels seen, even if that is not the word he would use to describe it.
Even after 11 years of lossing him i still pay my respect to him❤
"Screamin on the inside, but never make a sound." 👍
It sound so much like us as a black man,i know to be like a father to my siblings ,including their kids. You get tired by raising someone's kids before you have your own. Being a Man.
I kind of think the song should’ve said Darius Rucker featuring Dax, since Darius Rucker is a long time country music star
Can’t lie, this is a song I listen to when no one’s watching. I’m a man! Gotta pretend I’m made of steel ❤
Too my father who overdosed Trina ecspae exactly what this song is explaining, ...... it's been 2years , ...... I love u soo much dad (step-dad) who took me in as him own
Song very relatable to my son ❤ i wish him all the love in the world 🙏
"They don't know what your worth, till the day that you die"
That right there, is hard to live with.
Done. Coming to you from Ohio. Both my sons just got done going to your venue you had here. They said it was awesome
i miss being able to believe someone when they say im important
Shoutout to all the fathers who listened to this in the car, cried. Just to push it deep down and walk into the house and continue on like nothing happened.
God bless you 🙏
Wow this song speaks volumes. It explains exactly how most of us men feel.
Beautiful song. Sadly it won't change anything
