SOIS UN HOMME

I was told to be tough
I was told to be strong
To the point of breaking down this wall
And then building it up again
I was told to take the bruises
At least some marks on my skin
That's how you measure
All those who put in the work
All those who put in the work
Be a man, be a man
Be a man, a man who’s more than just a man
A man who’s more than just a man
Be a man, be a man
A man who’s more than just a man

I didn’t ask for anything
No, I didn’t ask for anything
From anyone, from anyone
I was told to run
I was told to win
It’s simple, you just have to cross
That damn finish line
I was told you gotta charm
Touch the bodies, count them up
What matters is to enjoy it
And to hold up a trophy

Be a man, be a man
Be a man, a man who’s more than just a man
A man who’s more than just a man
Be a man, be a man
A man who’s more than just a man
I didn’t ask for anything
No, I didn’t ask for anything
From anyone, from anyone
I didn’t ask anyone for anything
I didn’t ask for anything (I didn’t ask for anything)
No, I didn’t ask for anything
From anyone
And no one tells me, no one tells me
How to be a man, how to be a man
How? (Be a man, be a man)
How to be a man, how to be a man
How? (Be a man, be a man)

I was told to shut up
To keep everything inside
What’s the point of emotion?
You just gotta grit your teeth
I was told, you know what to do
And you’re not a kid anymore
Manners are for girls
Guys don’t need to hold back
I didn’t ask for anything from anyone

How to be a man, how to be a man
How? (Be a man, be a man)
How to be a man, how to be a man
How? (Be a man, be a man)
I didn’t ask for anything from anyone (how to be a man?)
I didn’t ask for anything from anyone (how to be a man?)
And no one tells me, no one tells me
How to be a man?
I didn’t ask for anything from anyone (how to be a man?)
I didn’t ask for anything from anyone (how to be a man?)
And no one tells me, no one tells me
How to be a man?
A man
