A Man Lyrics

My muscles are of steel
my mind of complex computers
daily I struggle for understanding
And daily I grieve to be understood
I'm a man
that's all I am
My skin is black
Still my blood is red
my lips are wide
still my heart is pure
nothing more
nothing less
just a man
I'm a man
that's all I am
Hate me
sure I'll cry
hate the ones I love
sure I'll die
nothing less
nothing more
just a man
with a pure heart inside
I'm a man
that's all I am
I need to be loved
I need to be free
trying to do my part
to change society
I'm a man
I'm a man
that's all I am
life is constant pressures
life is constant pain
do your best to help mankind
they think you're playing a game
I'm a man
just a man
still the same

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
