(A healthy bond between men is more than just a simple connection
It's two individuals who understand each other's struggles
It's two kids on the ground looking up to the stars and working together to get there
It's one man improving because he saw another man succeed and it motivated him
It's the urge to help each other out because who knows when help might come next
It's two men that break down the walls of toxic masculinity
Because they want to see all men and women live happily
Now where would I be without these bonds?)
I owe my friends my whole life, mom
Without them I would only see the low lights, dawg
They gave support when I was in the cold nights, mom
And showed me right when I would have my own mind wrong
They made me feel like it was safe for me to cry, mom
And kept the color in my life like it was dylon
I knew that any space was safe if they were right on
It's like the radio had finally played the right song
I'm at a point where I can leave behind the bygones
And feel the hurt without the need to try to hide mine
These types of bonds we have you only hope is lifelong
Cause now I'm certain the supporters on my side strong
I used to fear I'd never have what I do now
I see my past and I can only say I'm too proud
I made the types of friends I needed on my new route
And left behind the old relationships I grew out
Man, look at you now, you found a new crowd
You found the brothers that you lost and built a new house
You know that if he was around he would approve now
They saw you living in your pain and helped you move out
Congratulations
(Man, my closest male friends have gotten me through so much
And more than maybe they even know, you know
Like, whether it's you know giving me advice when I need it
Helping me see through things that I couldn't see through on my own
Cause I was stuck in the moment
Or just you know being there to joke and lift my spirits when I was at my lowest points)
(Healthy male relationships are important
Because we are socialized to be void of empathy
We become unempathetic people without any form of expressive love
We believe that gestures, simple ones like saying I love you
Or giving hugs to your male friends can be considered not manly
And it causes us to sink deeper if we don't strive to develop communities that help us unlearn
This is what has personally helped me
As surrounding myself with people who are willing to unlearn from the zeitgeist
Become not just better men
But better for themselves and their loved ones outside of their gender specific roles
Imbued into our being by society)
(Personally, I feel like healthy male relationships are important in keeping men mentally stable
Because I feel like it's very easy for the most part for men to express their feelings and emotions to other men
So that brings like a sense of validation
And personally, for me I feel like maintaining my relationship with my dad over the years has been really important
In keeping me going and making my mental health, you know, not plummet as much as it has already
Because he gives me really good advice
And he)
(We live in a world where men expressing their love for one another is so ridiculed
We feel it and we know we feel it but it's hard to say it
So, we've almost had to create our own ways of showing each other we care
It's really a beautiful thing to come from a broken norm
It's pretty unspoken, but worldwide
Everyone knows it exists, but we choose not to acknowledge it
Because we know what it means
We know what it means to dap each other up after it's been a minute
Or to pass your boy a beer or to poke fun at one another
You know, we found our ways to say I love you and I think that's beautiful)
