[Verse 2 – IRap]
Yeah…
Stand tall, boy — don’t let ’em see you break,
This world don’t give forgiveness for the smallest of mistakes.
Your tears ain’t worth a second, no one’s reaching out to save,
You fight alone in silence — that’s the burden men must brave.
Be strong or they despise you, be soft and they’ll attack,
Wear your armor, hide your bruises, never show what you lack.
They’ll call you toxic if you rise, weak if you fall again…
So build your wall and swallow pain —
That’s what you are, that’s what I am.

[Chorus – Both Voices Together]
That’s what I am…
I wanna cry, but tears don’t fit in their plan.
If I speak up, they say I’m less of a man.
That’s what I am…
Broken inside but I still try to stand,
Reaching for help but they won’t understand.
Carrying weight they’ll never comprehend…
That’s what I am.

[Ending / Bridge – Both Voices, softer, raw]

[Outer Self]
I’m singing this not to complain,
But to free the hurt I kept contained.
Emotions buried deep inside,
In shadows where they learned to hide.

[Inner Voice – low, steady]
Don’t expect them to care — they won’t understand,
To them it’s just excuses of a weak, broken man.
But let it out, let it breathe, let it leave your chest…
Confession is the only way your soul finds rest.

[Final Chorus – Both, emotional conclusion]
That’s what I am…
A man who breaks but still rises again.
A heart that aches even when no one understands.
That’s what I am…
Flawed, still doing the best I can…
Here’s my truth, raw and unplanned —
That’s what I am.
That’s what I am.

[Verse 1 ] They say a man has it easy, like the world is on my side, But they don’t see the battles that I’m carrying inside. Every day I hold my breath, pretending I’m okay, ’Cause if I crack, they’ll call me weak and slowly fade away. If I’m poor, they call me hopeless — just another failed attempt, If I rise, they call me privileged, like my pain was never felt. I smile to hide the shaking, keep my heart behind my hands… No one sees the tired soul ’Cause that’s what I am. [Verse 2 – IRap] Yeah… Stand tall, boy — don’t let ’em see you break, This world don’t give forgiveness for the smallest of mistakes. Your tears ain’t worth a second, no one’s reaching out to save, You fight alone in silence — that’s the burden men must brave. Be strong or they despise you, be soft and they’ll attack, Wear your armor, hide your bruises, never show what you lack. They’ll call you toxic if you rise, weak if you fall again… So build your wall and swallow pain — That’s what you are, that’s what I am. [Chorus – Both Voices Together] That’s what I am… I wanna cry, but tears don’t fit in their plan. If I speak up, they say I’m less of a man.
