I know that you'll return with destiny

Your body

Bears the scars of every man I know

So softly

To me, it don't belong

[Bridge]
C D
It's the manners that make a man
Em
But the hammers that break a man
Em
Damn, they wanted to see me broke
D C
But I flipped the script and I broke the pen
C
Young and wealthy
D
Don't let it overwhelm me,
Em
I still get fed
Em
Still can't tell me
D Bm
Not when the system fail me,
C
I still bounce back
D
I run this ting, got a lot of endurance
Em
What do you know about drastic measures?
D
I married a hustle, me in the
C
game like Harry and Meghan
D
Some man in my hood too jealous
Em
Why do you think that we carry a weapon?
D
Take time and trust the process,
C
life's a game of chess, not checkers
D
Stop ballin', you gotta stop stressin'
You gotta stop thinkin'
Em
you won't get through it
Em
It's all in your mind
D Bm
I've go down a couple of times,
B7
I got up and go back to it
[Chorus]
Em D C#m
Only (Only), you can (You can), truly
C B
(Truly), understand
Em D
The measure (Measure), of a (Of a),
C#m
hero is the
C B Em D C#m
measure of a man
C B Em D C#m
The measure of a man
C B
Yee-heee

Only you can truly understand

The measure of a hero is the
C B Em D C#m
measure of a man

The measure of a man
C B Em D C#m
Ooh-ooh-ooh
