The Becoming Lyrics by ICIE

THE PHOENIX (EP)

2015

Intro:
You come into this world a boy...
But will you leave a man?
Verse 1
It takes heart to wanna be a man
And it takes a bigger heart to truly understand
What we as men go through on a daily basis
But you won't ever know it
Cos' we hide and never show it
Nowadays it's complicated trying to be a man
Do I buss guns or do I hold your hand?
And can I trust you with who I really am?
Me I'm just a Clark Kent
The world wants a Superman
But I say fear him who never sheds a tear
Cos' one day he'll break down and disappear
Since caveman days,it's in our DNA to provide by
Any means, any way
And that desire to provide runs deep
So that means most time we don't get no sleep
Staring at the ceiling doing mad calculations
High blood pressure,mad palpitations
Chorus
I'm just trying be a man
Trying to do the best I can
I'm just trying be a man x2
Verse 2
Ladies please you know we don't speak much
But understand it's not as easy as it seems
We're in a tug of war where we can't look weak
So opening up to you is kind of like defeat
But your patience is our Kryptonite
Yes we do have feelings but you see we just internalise
Holding hands ain't the issue
It's just hard when the past won't let you
We used to get dissed for being whipped
So when you hold our hands we might cringe a little bit
Just remember to forgive
Product of our mindstates we were just kids
But we're still trying get it right
Emotional side but still able to Kimbo Slice
One day we'll say we love you
It may take time just be hopeful
Chorus
I'm just trying be a man
Trying to do the best I can
I'm just trying be a man x2
But what's a man? What's a man? What's a man?
They say a man with a plan is a man
But a man with no plan is still a man
How dare you knock us down
When we still trying to stand
Never define a man by his chain
Never define a man by his range
Those are just fraudulent identities
I'm begging you please become the man you're supposed to be
Strong enough to lead when he needs to
Weak enough to share what he's been through
Be the man you are with no regrets
Don't expect to know it all,this a process
Yes! So let's progress,from boys to men
So we can raise boys to men
We may slip and fall before we get there
I'll see you at the promise land when we get there
Outro
Everyday we're becoming...
Boys trying to be men
Some of us we didn't even have a role model to get there
So we gotta figure it out ourselves
If you're trying to be a man out there
Keep striving ...one day we'll get there
