Boys Don't Cry

Ayy... real life shit



(Verse 1)

Comin' from a place where (woop woop) was a co-sign

Red flags on the block like the o-line

Mom said "fuck that, you ain't got no time"

Gotta show this world your city a gold mine

Goal line, run it up. Get your touchdown

Everybody in the hood gettin' gunned down

Either bust back or duck off with a bustdown

You ain't got no time to be down cuz you up now

(Lil' n***a lost in it, sauce with it)

I was so worried 'bout the wrong shit

I was so worried 'bout the wrong bitch

Play it over and over until the song skip



(Pre-Chorus)

Cuz they ain't ever tell us how to handle our emotions, man

They said if we let it get to us then we just wasn't focused, man

They said boys don't cry, n***a men ain't boys

Keep it all in, man

And it's hard to stand with that kind of weight

We keep fallin' man (We keep fallin')



And how we s'posed to stand up? (Stand up)

How we s'posed to lift the fam up? (Fam up)

How we s'posed to join and band up? (Band up)

When all they ever said was "man up"? (N***a)



(Chorus)

They look us in the eye seein' all that pain inside

And tell us we ain't s'posed to cry (We ain't s'posed to cry)

Then they ask us how we feel

And expect us to keep it real

But we lie

All our lives

They told us boys don't cry so now we ridin'

We ridin'

We ridin' (Boys don't cry)

Now we ridin'

We ridin'

We ridin' (Boys don't cry)



Oh, no, no no

Oh, no, no no

Boys don't cry

Oh, no, no no

Oh, no, no no

Boys don't cry



(Verse 2)

I know you from a place where (arip) was a co-sign

All blue chucks laced in a bow tie

E's, C's, threes in the air when it's go-time

Pourin' 40s for the n***as stuck in old times

Gettin' hard to cry every day but it hurt

Never used to cry 'cause emotion get you murked

Losin' people that you love to a life that you live for

Think about it n***a really, what's it worth?

Hard to be strong every minute of the muh'fuckin' day

When these muh'fuckin' days go by

Tried to wake up without a homie who gon' stay sleep

And a n***a didn't get to say goodbye, it'll change your life



(Pre-Chorus)

Cuz they ain't ever tell us how to handle our emotions, man

They said if we let it get to us then we just wasn't focused, man

They said boys don't cry, n***a men ain't boys

Keep it all in, man

And it's hard to stand with that kind of weight

We keep fallin' man (We keep fallin')



And how we s'posed to stand up? (Stand up)

How we s'posed to lift the fam up? (Fam up)

How we s'posed to join and band up? (Band up)

When all they ever said was "man up"? (N***a)



(Chorus)

They look us in the eye seein' all that pain inside

And tell us we ain't s'posed to cry (We ain't s'posed to cry)

Then they ask us how we feel

And expect us to keep it real

But we lie

All our lives

They told us boys don't cry so now we ridin'

We ridin'

We ridin' (Boys don't cry)

Now we ridin'

We ridin'

We ridin' (Boys don't cry)



Oh, no, no no

Oh, no, no no

Boys don't cry

Oh, no, no no

Oh, no, no no

Boys don't cry
