lyrics

Verse 1:
Do real men cry have feelings kinda shy hardbody stone face yeah coming out the Chi somebody no place to express my guy in the trap it's a wrap yeah set him up to die stifled on the emo tip rifled on a ego trip trifled on the evil’s whip upheaval yo get a grip deebo’d your ancestors on a ship payment slip dip in the gazebo they auctioning your people body parts in shipping carts stop listening to sheeple selling us a wicked dream but we were never equal threw envy on the glow whitewashing that’s blow get snuffed or get low get rich or be po crime pays illegal time plays like sequel swoop down like seagulls on black and brown people mama on the go development in fetal lethal pain in tow pay the rent no repo.

Chorus:
Real men have to cry sometime too (REPEAT 3x), Oh didn’t I didnt I didn’t I...yeah

Verse 2 (Neak):
All I see is pressure, so do this mean I’m lesser, I seek to love myself and not seek out way to suppress a, feeling dehumanized, so many centuries deceived it’s hard to kill these lies, it’s showing up in how I handle emotions the hardest liquors for the cries, sexual healing, using body parts to disguise how I'm not able to function through darkness living inside, without a outlet, out left linger to my demise, the media be painting me criminal, the last shall be first so all is hatred is spiritual, the last felt a curse that put a price on my physical, America and unity for black men cynical, the man in me unamended, No wonder my home prison, who can I run to? XSCAPING this heart I’m sitting with all brittle, can we cry sometime, history say it ain’t safe, I’ll do anything to make this pain go away.

Chorus:
Real men have to cry sometime too (REPEAT 3x), Oh didn't I didn’t I didn’t I...yeah

Verse 3:
How can you help your brother who just get it from his mother seen with lover after lover hopes and dreams smothered daddy never home void feeling so alone droid versus apple phones boy get in where you fit in toy forbidden crimes for joy high druggie till I die yeah speak it it will come by that’s real law abide by your words will be your drive by death culture outcry fans and fam don’t know why you left so soon goodbye supply them mental health checks therapy and outlets poverty the upset lottery’s your best bet born into slave debts freedom cuz your worth nets breathing get your needs met they thieving plant yo seeds let the pressures and the stressors got weapons in your dresser drawer love yourself a little mo let it out hug your bro seek some help you never know the power unconditional remember be intentional save a life halo glow.

Chorus:
Real men have to cry sometime too (REPEAT 3x), Oh didn’t I didn't I didn’t I...yeah...found tears on your pillowtip belong to me... what’ll I do...grabbed you and hugged you and said, real men have to cry sometime too.
