Piff Marti - Boys Do Cry

★ Intro ★
Stop, fuck an intro

★ Verse 1 ★
Citizens rise, this ain't for the ignorant mind
Look at his eyes, full of pain and victim inside
But sheddin' a tear, feelin' your fears isn't advised
Yet the suicide rate among men is still a surprise
If you cry because you sad, you ain't no bitch
You a bitch if you let it eat you up to the point it get lethal
And cause you let it build up, you done took it out on your people
Especially ones that treat you with love
Look its okay to be vulnerable, cause you owe it to you
I know you don't know what to do, but you know that's the truth
I know you can't focus, unless you coping bout' smoking your blues
I know you posting pics on your socials and hope they are fooled
Trust me, them demons you fighting, we know they hoping you lose
You gotta open right through these things called "feelings!" and go through your moods
To be a real man, you don't need no one to prove, fuck who told this to you, cause boys do cry

★ Verse 2 ★
Maybe if daddy hugged me enough and show me compassion
I wouldn't have all this apathy and emotion(al) detachment
Maybe if momma would just be accountable for her actions
My therapist wouldn't tell me it's something I had to practice
But no, no, no
See through madness
Must make a habit
To take my chances
I can't wait for answers
Like I was in an airplane and I just landed
I claim my baggage
Won't blame my parents
"Man enough" means acknowledge you hurt when you hurt
Don't hold it in or your burst
Cause it could only get worse
Some days I'm good
But then others feel like nothing would work
Never was kind to myself and wonder why I would reverse
Cause they tell us when we vent, we complaining
When we tired, we just lazy
And god forbid we fall under the pressure
But as a man if you could feel that you've been breaking
Free them tears that you been saving
Your inner child gon thank you for your efforts
So boys do cry

★ Outro ★
I had what's called a father wound
Just an absence of a male figure in my life, specifically my father
He was verbally abusive, you know, and as a result
I became very unstable, mentally, emotionally
But then I quickly discovered
Was that our boys didn't need more discipline
They needed more love
