Measure of a Man - FKA twigs, Central Cee

Nobody feels the pain behind the love you show

Nobody feels the burden that is yours alone

If when the morning comes you’re not with me (Destiny)

I know that you’ll return with destiny

Only you can truly understand

The measure of a hero is the measure of a man

(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)

The measure of a man

(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)

Your body bears the scars of every man I know

So softly I wanna kiss it better, the scarlet letter

To me you don’t belong

If when the morning comes you’re not with me (Destiny)

I know that you’ll return with destiny

Only you can truly understand

The measure of a hero is the measure of a man

(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)

The measure of a man

(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)

It’s the manners that make a man

But the hammers that break a man

Damn, they wanted to see me broke

But I flipped the script and I broke the pen

Young and wealthy

Don’t let it overwhelm me

I still give thanks

Still can’t tell me

Nothin', the system failed me

I still bounced back

I run this ting, got a lot of endurance

What you know about drastic measures?

I married the hustle

Me and the game like Harry and Meghan

Some man in my hood too jealous

Why d’you think that we carry a weapon?

Take time and trust the process

Life’s a game of chess, not checkers

Told bro that «You gotta stop stressin'

Gotta stop thinkin' you won’t get through it

It’s all in your mind

I failed a couple of times

I got up and got back to it»

Only (Only) you can (You can) truly (Truly) understand

The measure (Measure) of a (Of a) hero is the measure of a man

The measure of a man

Only you can truly understand

The measure of a hero is the measure of a man

The measure of a man
