The Manhood Script 50.1 [EXPLICIT]

[Spoken Word Begins Here] [Opening Anthem Begins Here] Free your mind from the heavy shackles of the script. It all fell apart on a cold Friday in October. The ink ran dry and the pages started to tear. [Spoken Word Ends Here] [Opening Anthem Ends Here] [Verse] You have to free your mind from the rusted shackles of the manhood script. For me it was right around the third Friday of October twenty-twenty-three. That was the quiet moment the old manhood script finally stopped working. The gears jammed up and it hasn’t worked a single day since then. I was left standing in the wreckage of a version of myself I didn’t choose. [Chorus] So my comrades and I are working together to develop a new personal manhood script. That means doing and standing up for what’s right in the pouring rain. Regardless of how other people perceive it or try to tear it down. That means condemning the rot of the bad and commending the light of the good. We are architects of a foundation built on truth instead of performance. [Verse] Unfortunately due to some things I’ve done growing up I don’t consider myself a good man. There are ghosts in the closet and stains on the floor I still can't scrub away. Heck if I am being honest I still consider myself to be a boy lost in the woods. But one of my comrades looked me in the eye and said nonsense mother fucker. He told me you’re a fucking man and a fucking good mother fucking man at that. I got a good chuckle out of that shit because maybe he sees what I can't yet. [Instrumental Break] [Verse] The old script demanded silence and a hollow chest of stone. The new script demands the courage to admit when you're standing alone. It’s about the weight of your word and the strength in your open hands. Walking away from the boy I was to become the person the world demands. [Chorus] So my comrades and I are working together to develop a new personal manhood script. That means doing and standing up for what’s right in the pouring rain. Regardless of how other people perceive it or try to tear it down. That means condemning the rot of the bad and commending the light of the good. We are architects of a foundation built on truth instead of performance. [Spoken Word Begins Here] [Closing Anthem Begins Here] The old script is dead and buried in the October leaves. We're writing something new with every breath we take. A man is defined by his soul, not by the cage they built for him. [Spoken Word Ends Here] [Closing Anthem Ends Here]
