Song Cry lyrics

Sometimes I get emotional

And I can't seem to find the way I'm s'posed to go

And all these so-called people that I'm s'posed to know

They be the main ones, smile up in your face, but behind your back they hate

So I hope you know, you ain't the only reason I'm emotional

My tears fall like water so that I can grow

Not like I was before

Tryna make a change, I need something more

I can't hold back these tears, let me cry

They say a man ain't supposed to cry

So I'ma let the song cry

I'ma let my soul cry through these words

I need to try to free my mind

Sometimes I need to cry just to ease my hurt

But when I let the song cry

Hope you don't think I still won't ride for mine

Every rose needs the rain sometimes

But know that you can dry your eyes this time

Let the song cry

What am I s'posed to do?

Hold it all together when I think of you?

When in my heart I'm thinking you were gone too soon

May you rest in peace, yet I can't sleep

'Cause my point of view

Got me in a state of mind, I'm so confused

Crying raindrops so that I can bloom

So what am I to do?

I can't hold back these tears, let me cry

They say a man ain't supposed to cry

So I'ma let the song cry

I'ma let my soul cry through these words

I need to try to free my mind

Sometimes I need to cry just to ease my hurt

But when I let the song cry

Hope you don't think I still won't ride for mine

Every rose needs the rain sometimes

But know that you can dry your eyes this time

Let the song cry

Let it breathe

Let it breathe

Let it breathe

Fuck, let's get it

I may be cryin' now but I'll be laughin' later

Knew it wouldn't be easy when you're tryna be the greatest

That ever did it or does it

Ain't no fuckin' time for later

And I know they think I'm sporadic

The bastard child of an addict

But I'm way too calculated

I try to love, but I never knew it

This money, I'm blowin' through it

Ain't rockin' red or blue, I'm unafilliated

'Cause my bloods and my cousins hate me

I try to buy my mama's love, she don't appreciate it

So I stay inebriated

I figured maybe J.Cole or Drizzy Drake

Would drop a verse and tell the people how we hurtin'

Guess I was mistaken

This moment mine for the takin'

For all them nights I thought of suicide, contemplatin'

I can't hold back these tears, let me cry

They say a man ain't supposed to cry

So I'ma let the song cry

I'ma let my soul cry through these words

I need to try to free my mind

Sometimes I need to cry just to ease my hurt

But when I let the song cry

Hope you don't think I still won't ride for mine

Every rose needs the rain sometimes

But know that you can dry your eyes this time

Let the song cry
