Man Of Steel

[Intro]
Cold stare on my phone screen
Scroll war in my own mind
Man of steel on the home team
Rust show when the home quiet
(yeah) chest feel heavy
Jaw stay locked, never petty
They yell "talk" and I'm ghostin
Heart in the vault, no motion (uh)
[Chorus]
Man of steel, I don’t bleed on ’em (no, no)
No chips in my armor when I leave on ’em (yeah)
Strong but I can’t say how I feel (feel, feel)
So I grind, I don’t heal, I just deal, I just deal
Man of steel, I don’t cry in the daylight (no)
Hold rain in my eyes, keep the face right (oh)
Strong but I can’t say how I feel (feel, feel)
So I shut that door, throw the key, that’s the deal (that’s the deal)
[Verse 1]
Pop said "stand tall, no whine in your backbone"
So I turned every tear into black stone
Turned every scar into ringtone, it ring wrong
Answer every "you good?" with a ping pong
"Yeah, I’m straight" then I spin to the next text
Whole storm in my chest, just a dead flex
King mask on, crown cut my forehead
Sleep with my fists, whole bed feel warred
"Man up" got me numb, no name for the hurt
Turn pain into reps, put the weight in the work
If it crack, I patch with a smirk and a joke, huh
Soul on E, still pump for the folk, huh
Every hug, I tense, I don’t melt
Swear I bench-press blame, never ask for help
Whole life in a box with a seal
Barcode read: "He strong, never tell you how he feel"
[Chorus]
Man of steel, I don’t bleed on ’em (don’t you bleed)
No chips in my armor when I leave on ’em
