Lyrics

I been in my mind a lot
Growing up I used to cry a lot
But thats just me
If I shed another tear
Will you judge me?
Hold me close
Even when it gets ugly?
We all need a shoulder to cry on
My lips peeled if you need an ear to lie on
Thats a hill I could prolly go die on...
My daddy left me before I took my first step
Thats why I always doubt which step to take next
I never had the confidence
So friendships turned to nemesis as a consequence
Projecting how I feel, its the world against me
Never tell me, hide my sensitivity
Don't hide behind a mask of masculinity
Its 59, 99 til infinity
So this one goes to the women who raised me
Never pushed me always let me be a baby
I understand, we're misunderstood greatly
You ain't gotta be anything but yourself
This one goes to the women who raised me
Never pushed me always let me be a baby
I understand, we're misunderstood greatly
You ain't gotta be anything but yourself
I used to cry if I slept alone at night
That's why I still leave the lights on at night
I was scared of that hallway
I still am...
Can I be scared of the dark and be a man?
Step dad was drunk & abusive
Took him 9 drinks to finally tell what his truth is
On his 10th, whats next?
Bruises.
On his next morning he would vent
Excuses.
Thats the man Im supposed to look up to?
A young boy they gon try to corrupt you
There's not a man that I could look up to
A young boy its my turn to grow up too
So when I have a son
Imma clear his head of doubt
This aint what life about
They gon try to pin you down
Wipe the tears right off your crown
And when he wants to cry
Tell em let it all out
So this one goes to the women who raised me
Never pushed me always let me be a baby
I understand, we're misunderstood greatly
You ain't gotta be anything but yourself
This one goes to the women who raised me
Never pushed me always let me be a baby
I understand, we're misunderstood greatly
You ain't gotta be anything but yourself
A big shot
A mascot
You can't stop
Looking for validation and a way to not get caught
Being soft
Holding in your feelings is a full time job
So
I pray for a world where he could be tender
Soft, sweet, slow, he could surrender
The fight, the freeze, the brawl and be
A man who cries and sings to the trees
Color in the lines but don't misstep!
Lines begin to suffocate like hands around your neck
Pressure beget temper
Angst beget rage
We see over time happen every other day
So I write this letter to my young brothers
On behalf of your sisters and your lovers
We suffer when you suffer too
When patriarchy sets too many rules
So this one goes to the women who raised me
Never pushed me always let me be a baby
I understand, we're misunderstood greatly
You ain't gotta be anything but yourself
This one goes to the women who raised me
Never pushed me always let me be a baby
I understand, we're misunderstood greatly
You ain't gotta be anything but yourself
This one goes to the women who raised me
Never pushed me always let me be a baby
I understand, we're misunderstood greatly
You ain't gotta be anything but yourself
This one goes to the women who raised me
Never pushed me always let me be a baby
I understand, we're misunderstood greatly
You ain't gotta be anything but yourself
This one goes to the women who raised me
Never pushed me always let me be a baby
I understand, we're misunderstood greatly
You ain't gotta be anything but yourself
This one goes to the women who raised me
Never pushed me always let me be a baby
I understand, we're misunderstood greatly
You ain't gotta be anything but yourself
