Song Cry - August Alsina
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're like 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 supposed to do
Hold it all together
when I think of you
In my heart
I'm thinking you were gone
too soon
May you rest in peace
yet I can't sleep
It's 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
Let's get it
I may be cryin' now
but I'll be laughin' later
No way 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 her
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 no 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 taking
For all them nights
I thought of suicide contemplating
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
