Lyrics

(Boys don't cry, boys don't cry)
(Boys don't cry, boys don't cry)
At 5, they watched me like hawk
At 10, I'm built like a wall
13 is when my voice dropped
(The same year), harassed by the cops
14, I got a manly size
15, a baby in my mama's eyes
16, older women rubbin' on my thighs
(17), my best friend died
Do you feel me?
Do you hear me?
I realize I might not live up
To your worth
Cry when I die
But never cry when I hurt?
Mama said "boy, just hold your head"
Even when the whole world, it bled
Coach said pain makes you tough
Shake it off, brush the dust, just get up, suck it up
Every scar they call a win
Like the hurt never lived within
Every loss, I learned to hide
Smile wide, keep it inside
Do you feel me?
Do you hear me?
I can't eat if I don't work
Sleep when I'm dead
Hustle hard, even when they think I'm doin' dirt
Do you feel me?
Do you hear me?
Money and protection,
Is that my worth?
Cry when I die
But never cry when I hurt?
Raised to be quiet
Now, she wanna talk
Run with my emotions
But never learned how to walk
So, I'll just swing this hammer
Try to beat this train
'Til my home is with flowers
And they're crying in the rain
Do you feel me?
Do you hear me?
I realize I might not live up
To your worth
Cry when I die
But never cry when I hurt?
No one loved me,
No one loved me,
They all said they loved me,
Until I was gone
