Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
I know that you'll return with destiny
[Verse 2]
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)
[Verse 3]
Your body bears the scars of every man I know
So softly I wanna kiss it better, the scarlet letter
To me you don't belong
If when the morning comes you're not with me (Destiny)
I know that you'll return with destiny
[Verse 4]
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)
[Verse 5]
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 I broke the pen
Young and wealthy
Don't let it overwhelm me
I still give thanks
Still can't tell me
Nothin', the system failed me
I still bounced back
I run this ting, got a lot of endurance
What you know about drastic measures?
I married the hustle
Me and 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
Told bro that "You gotta stop stressin'
Gotta stop thinkin' you won't get through it
It's all in your mind
I failed a couple of times
I got up and got back to it"
[Verse 6]
Only you can truly understand
The measure of a hero is the measure of a man
The measure of a man
[Verse 7]
Only you can truly understand
The measure of a hero is the measure of a man
The measure of a man
