Nobody
Feels the pain behind the love you show
Nobody
Feels the burden that is yours alone
If when the morning comes, you're not with me (destiny)
I know that you'll return with destiny
Only you can truly understand
The measure of a hero is the measure of a man
(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)
The measure of a man
(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)
Your body
Bears the scars of every man I know
So softly
I wanna kiss it better, the scarlet letter
To me it don't belong
If when the morning comes, you're not with me (destiny)
I know that you'll return with destiny
[Fka twigs]
Only you can truly understand
The measure of a hero is the measure of a man
(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)
The measure of a man
(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)
It's the manners that make a man
But the hammers that break a man
Damn, they wanted to see me broke
But I flipped the script and broke the band
Young and wealthy
Don't let it overwhelm me, I still get fed
Still can't tell me
Not when the system fail me, I still bounce back
I run this ting, got a lot of endurance
What d'you know about drastic measures?
I married a hustle, me in the game like Harry and Meghan
Some man in my hood too jealous
Why d'you think that we carry a weapon?
Take time and trust the process, life's a game of chess not checkers
Stop ballin', you gotta stop stressin'
You gotta stop thinkin' you won't get through it
It's all in your mind
I've go down a couple of times, I got up and go back to it
Only (only) you can (you can) truly (truly) understand
The measure (measure) of a (of a) hero is the measure of a man
The measure of a man
Only you can truly understand
The measure of a hero is the measure of a man
The measure of a man
Uh, uh, uh, uh
