Stigma

Well, it's hard to speak when you're tongue-tied Tough to breathe when you're going under Bury deep those emotions Down the rivers, they're overflowin' What's the cause to this stigma? Our brothers and fathers, uncles and partners We teach our boys to be big men Not how to cope with this illness Well, sticks and stones, they may break your bones But a couple words, they could save you And it's okay, man, the world has changed And I know it's hard tryna fake it 'Cause I wish I could be stronger For that, I feel ashamed 'Cause those feelings, they get bottled up As I down another can And I guess I'm like my father Bear the burden now I know That it's the men who talk about it They're the ones who make it home (Home, home) They're the ones who make it home Home, home (Home, home) What's the cause to this stigma? People scared to reach out like they don't know how Some afraid to be a burden They keep it locked beneath the surface But I see the progress every day, man Promise things are gonna change And, it's okay, man, l feel your pain And I know it's hard tryna fake it Well, I wish I could be stronger For that, I feel ashamed 'Cause those feelings, they get bottled up As I down another can And I guess I'm like my father Bear the burden now I know That it's the man who talk about it They're the ones who make it home (Home, home) They're the ones who make it home (Home, home, home) They're the ones who make it home (Home, home, home, home, home, home, home) They're the ones who make it home (Home, home, home, home, home, home, home) They're the ones who make it home
