Man Down (Bonus Track)

(Verse 1: Marcus Orelias)

For the longest we’ve been told “man up”
But what happens when a man down and had enough?
Day in and day out, don’t want to give up. (Na)
Nothing seems to be shaking up but life shook you up
Maybe you know or don’t know but God cooking up
You deserve to eat, know the pain is seasonal. (Shh shh)
I won’t fix your situation but I can serve you some motivation. (Na)
(That's right)
Look, during hard times is where you go inside not to hide
Or to mask the pain but to cry, heal it then reorganize
I give a damn what they gas up. (For real)
Listen to me, it's okay to cry bruh
Don't worry who gon' ride you just get in and drive. (Go)
Taking the road lеss traveled its rare thе other side is occupied
On your journey learn the root and teach it on the way
No need to beat yourself up, you learn everyday (Da da da)

(Chorus: Marcus Orelias)

When the world feels heavy
When it rains and it pours and you’re trying to hold steady
When it all falls down like confetti
Standing in the mirror, only thing you see is a man down
(Man down)
Nobody seems to notice when they walk by
‘Cause you’ll never see a man down

(Verse 2: Marcus Orelias)

If you ask, I’m smiling ‘cause I’ll never fail
I know, the world want to see us down with no bail
Ain’t too many options like you fresh out of jail
Headed to the trap, looking for something to sell
Remain focused, keep who you love closest
Looking for the promised land, a lot of us are Moses
Noted, I validate myself, no need to post it
I remember sleeping on the couch
I remember having no cash in my account
I remember nights moving house to house
I remember dreams I had being filled with doubt. (man)
Now I’m a voice who helps bring the people out
It’s become clear, what my struggle was about. (Shh shh)
I wanted friends or a mentor so bad
What you lack can be a lesson to become what you never had
For my own self care, I had to forgive everyone who I felt wasn’t there

(Chorus: Marcus Orelias)

When the world feels heavy
When it rains and it pours and you’re trying to hold steady
When it all falls down like confetti
Standing in the mirror, only thing you see is a man down
(Man down)
Nobody seems to notice when they walk by
‘Cause you’ll never see a man down

(Verse 3: Marcus Orelias)

The toughest wars are fought on mental battlefields
I don’t know what you’ve been through but I know it’s real
You matter, you’re loved, you can beat depression
I survived it too, we the same, I’m all in
Family is wealth, fame is a game
If I had one wish: it’s, that we grow and change
All I need is time and my mind. (that's all I need)
You’re never lost but when yo u feel like it, see what you find
Study where you want to go like a connoisseur
Somebody loves you, even when you feel you in the sewers. (Shh shh)
Hold on, don’t let go - don’t quit yet
There’s still a life that you haven’t lived yet
That’s why when you wake up, keep your chin up
And when you hit hard times, don’t give up
(Don't give up, keep going)
But I’ve seen it all like wearing no make up
Believe in yourself, stand where you stand
Trust, it’s making you a superior man

(Chorus: Marcus Orelias)

When the world feels heavy
When it rains and it pours and you’re trying to hold steady
When it all falls down like confetti
Standing in the mirror, only thing you see is a man down
(Man down)
Nobody seems to notice when they walk by
‘Cause you’ll never see a man down
