Measure Of A Man

  Em
Nobody
          D                   C#m      C
Feels the pain behind the love you show
  Em
Nobody
          D                    C#m   C B
Feels the burden that is yours alone


[Pre-Chorus]
   C                       A            E           C
If when the morning comes, you're not with me (Destiny)
  C                      C#m      C B
I know that you'll return with destiny


[Chorus]
Em   D       C#m   C
Only you can truly understand
    Em      D    C#m         C       B  Em
The measure of a hero is the measure of a man
   D                    C#m
(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)
    C          Em
The measure of a man
   D                    C#m
(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)
    C B
Yee-heee


[Verse]
     Em
Your body
          D                 C#m     C
Bears the scars of every man I know
B  Em
So softly
        D                           C#m
I wanna kiss it better, the scarlet letter
                  C    B
To me, it don't belong


[Pre-Chorus]
   C                       A            E           C
If when the morning comes, you're not with me (Destiny)
  C                      C#m      C B
I know that you'll return with destiny


[Chorus]
Em   D       C#m   C
Only you can truly understand
    Em      D    C#m         C       B  Em
The measure of a hero is the measure of a man
   D                    C#m
(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)
    C          Em
The measure of a man
   D                    C#m
(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)
    C B
Yee-heee


[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                         Em
Don't let it overwhelm me, I still get fed
Em
Still can't tell me
D                       Bm                  C
Not when the system fail me, I still bounce back
                                  D
I run this ting, got a lot of endurance
                               Em
What do you know about drastic measures?
              D                                    C
I married a hustle, me in the game like Harry and Meghan
                         D
Some man in my hood too jealous
                                   Em
Why do you think that we carry a weapon?
                           D                                    C
Take time and trust the process, life's a game of chess, not checkers
                                 D
Stop ballin', you gotta stop stressin'
                                        Em
You gotta stop thinkin' you won't get through it
Em
It's all in your mind
               D         Bm                             B7
I've go down a couple of times, I got up and go back to it


[Chorus]
Em           D                  C#m            C     B
Only (Only), you can (You can), truly (Truly), understand
    Em                  D           C#m         C       B    Em D C#m
The measure (Measure), of a (Of a), hero is the measure of a man
    C       B    Em  D C#m
The measure of a man
    C B
Yee-heee


[Outro]
Em   D       C#m   C     B
Only you can truly understand
    Em      D    C#m         C       B    Em D C#m
The measure of a hero is the measure of a man
    C       B    Em D C#m
The measure of a man
C B Em D C#m
Ooh-ooh-ooh
