When Thugs Cry

[Verse 1]
It used to be late nights on that sofa
All Oreo's and morning shows
Everything was all kosher
Morning sex in your morning clothes
Now I'm laid back on my lonesome
I can't hide it need more of those
Can't see further than saucy goals
I can't lie G I'm bored of hoes
Starboy I was born to glow, God bless the G
I just need me a diamond to shine next to me
And take me to ecstasy without taking ecstasy
From now I do me and what's necessary
'Cos I don't need no stress for me
After hours I fall back and I'll break buds
Thinking 'bout you in French plaits without makeup
It's a big shame we couldn't make up
It all changed when you said "change up"
Them rumours were all made up
Nothing changed tryna get my change up
But you don't understand...
I was tryna set us up good
You thought I had other plans
Could've sworn that you was gonna bounce back
Like a rubber band...
But now I'm here singing this song
You weren't right for thinking I'm wrong
But now we sailed apart it's all gone

[Chorus]
How do you want it? (How do you want it?)
How does it feel? (How does it feel?)
How does it sound when a thug cry?
Let me know so it's real (Let me know so it's real)
It's seven o'clock in the drop
And I'm cruising the hill (And I'm cruising the hill)
It's seven o'clock in the drop
And I'm cruising the hill (And I'm cruising the hill)
Girl I've been drinking (I've been drinking)
With the music low but Mary J's singing (Mary J's singing)
And they don't know about us
Let 'em think what they're thinking
(Let 'em think what they're thinking)
Back and forth to my best slow jams reminiscing (reminiscing)
Yeah I was just reminiscing (reminiscing)

[Verse 2]
Cold days when I'm grafting
Flashbacks of you laughing
Used to call me up like "where your ass been"
Now when these danks call I just pass 'em
And every chick that I might meet
If I really like I won't beat
But I just kid myself and then I kick myself
When they let me up in them sheets
You know Tef stay up with some freaks
Too many bad girls ain't nothing sweet
So I'm out here back in these streets
I'm a lone ranger it's peak
I ain't a player though I just skeet
'Cos I know the game but I don't play for keeps
Had birds before I had tweets
See the blue tick and now they want meat
But girl I gotta watch my back 'cos I'm me
I ain't like them boys that you're used to
Nah my situation more deep
Cold nights when they hit me up for that heat
Do 'em at the W ain't no difference in what I see
Soul searching...
Like really though who gon' get me hot?
Like they worth it...
I won't find the one
I done had my chance and done burst it
Or am I too fussy tryna look for something that's perfect?
Caught up in the cycle just doing rounds on my circuit

[Chorus]
How do you want it? (How do you want it?)
How does it feel? (How does it feel?)
How does it sound when a thug cry?
Let me know so it's real (Let me know so it's real)
It's seven o'clock in the drop
And I'm cruising the hill (And I'm cruising the hill)
It's seven o'clock in the drop
And I'm cruising the hill (And I'm cruising the hill)
Girl I've been drinking (I've been drinking)
With the music low but Mary J's singing (Mary J's singing)
And they don't know about us
Let 'em think what they're thinking
(Let 'em think what they're thinking)
Back and forth to my best slow jams reminiscing (reminiscing)
Yeah I was just reminiscing (reminiscing)
