Name: Raised to Be a Man by CC3PO in Shattered and Reforge
Duration: 4 min 17 s
Description: A poetic takedown of the blueprint handed down. This song explores what it means to be raised as a “man” in a world that rewards silence over softness. Honest, tired, and transformative.

Shattered and Reforged is a confessional journey through identity, silence, survival, and rebirth. Told through raw, poetic lyrics and minimal, emotionally-driven production, this album isn’t about pretending to heal — it’s about speaking while still broken.

Across each track, CC3PO reflects on a life built on expectations, guilt, and buried truth. From the weight of masculinity to moments of disconnection, doubt, and emotional isolation, this project breaks open the silence — one breath, one confession, one verse at a time.

It’s not a story of coming out. It’s a story of coming through.
Of reclaiming the voice behind the performance.
Of learning how to live without the mask.

For anyone who's ever whispered “I’m fine” through a storm… this is your soundtrack.
