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' nigga 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, nigga 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"? (Nigga)

(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 niggas 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 nigga 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 nigga 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, nigga 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"? (Nigga)

(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
