[Verse 1: Eshon Burgundy]
I was born and raised where the guns were blazed
If the funds ain't paid, it would most likely be an issue
See in various ways its the Son who saves
Post-traumatic stress, wish it was less dramatic and simple
Tryna to be gentle they took my kindness for weakness
Sharpen my pencil they ripped my paper to pieces
They called me corny and broke
They made fun of my sneakers later them sneakers
Would walk on water and take me to Jesus
They caused me pain and shame I was inclined to do the same Thought my only choice was crash if they was driving me insane
If I cry then I'm a lame but if I snapped then I'm in chains
Tell somebody hold me back this strap
Will crack somebody frame, see it's the way I been trained
Got my logic from the game and those hostile environments Brought trauma to my brain, hectic domestic violence
Silence, screams I'm about to let these tears fall
But I ain't trying to scare y 'all know what I mean yeah

[Chorus: Jeremiah Bligen & Eshon Burgundy]
It's like it's a hole in my soul
Suck it up hold it all back
This trauma is trying
The pain that's inside don't show that
No stories or shed tears, I
Got no time to come off soft
Plus big boys don't cry
I guess I'll be a man it ain't my
Fall, cry like a man
Fall, cry like a man
Fall, cry like a man
Fall, cry like a man
[Verse 2: Eshon Burgundy]
I used to hear don't cry be strong for mommy
My eyes leaking Dasani I hide so they can't find me
I'm tired just being honest I'm wired strung high
I'm on high on fire doused my pride with living water
Out of order from the self-inflicted torture
If I admit it it's a fear of failure
It's hard to miss it cause this prison it feel so familiar
Slightly sadistic paranoia with paraphernalia on ya
I know the feeling victim is tricked into become villain its
Sick, but the healing is rich thought you was real before
But freedom is as real as it gets, nothing like being pure
And correctly processing the things that we endure
Anger becoming the way we no longer respond
And we get relief from our oversexualized minds
Move aside ego and pride and finally see the guidelines
Becoming whole restoration for our soul
Ain't have no dad but know the Father breathing on us
When the wind blows, tears flow
Yeah yeah

[Chorus: Jeremiah Bligen & Eshon Burgundy]
It's like it's a hole in my soul
Suck it up hold it all back
This trauma is trying
The pain that's inside don't show that
No stories or shed tears, ah
No time to come off soft
Plus big boys don't cry
I guess I'll be a man it ain't my
Fall, cry like a man
Fall, cry like a man
Fall, cry like a man
Fall, cry like a man
[Refrain: Jeremiah Bligen]
Need to release you to get free
Need to release you to get free
Need to release you to get free
Need to release you to get free

[Outro: Jason Wilson]
Free, be human
Release your emotions so that you can embrace them
Instead of being ruled by them, Shalom
