[Lyric] Black Men Cry (Alexandros Sarafis, BGR & Jay Boasy)

[Intro]

You see
There’s times in life where you have to be an example
Where you have to be the sacrificial lamb
No matter how painful the experience, you must be the change you want to see
We as black people, as black men must fight against this misinterpretation of vulnerability
There is no weakness in showing yours, only strength knowing you can
Black men cry
But we are still kings

[Verse 1]

Questions
Like what's this lifestyle for?
Man i say fuck your emotions
I got ptsd from war
Doctors, therapist sayin if i need them
Then i got them on call
But i ain't time for them pricks
I'm emotionally scared and i still can't talk
Pack of wolves (uh) like soldiers (woah), this life had taught
That my true meaning and sense reality is entirely warped
It’s not just fuck your emotions, yeah i me i scream fuck mine
Asperges so i feel disconnected, like an unpaid phone line
[Chorus]

Man I’m talking about pain
You can talk down on my name
Ain’t worried about the things you say
Man I’m talking about lows (blaow)
Tell me why my hearts so cold
Always here sticking to the codes
Can’t stop these tears
Let me break down my fears
I’ve held this shit for years
Now I stand as a man
Black men cry god damn
Let me tell you bout the man that I am
Man I’m talking about pain
You can talk down on my name
Ain’t worried about the things you say (ahhhh)
Man I’m talking about lows
Tell me why my hearts so cold
Always here sticking to the codes
Can’t stop these tears
Let me break down my fears
I’ve held this shit for years
Now I stand as a man
Black men cry god damn
Let me tell you bout the man that I am
Bout the man that i am
[Verse 2]

Where to begin
Tryna locate my pain, like drop me pin (ahh)
Look myself in the mirror like whose this man
I do not recognise him (nah)
I do not know this man or who he’s supposed to be
I don’t just understand, like why they’d wanna fuck with me (why)
I even tried therapy, but that shit weren’t healing me
It gets hard to stand firm, when they wanna break you in
Like a new pair of shoes I’m too worn in
But you could never walk in mine
You wouldn’t ever know pain from my eyes
I’ve consider death better than life
One too many times and I’m not a victim
Just the product of a fucked up system

[Chorus]

Man I’m talking about pain
You can talk down on my name
Ain’t worried about the things you say
Man I’m talking about lows (blaow)
Tell me why my hearts so cold
Always here sticking to the codes
Can’t stop these tears
Let me break down my fears
I’ve held this shit for years
Now I stand as a man
Black men cry god damn
Let me tell you bout the man that I am
Man I’m talking about pain
You can talk down on my name
Ain’t worried about the things you say (ahhhh)
Man I’m talking about lows
Tell me why my hearts so cold
Always here sticking to the codes
Can’t stop these tears
Let me break down my fears
I’ve held this shit for years
Now I stand as a man
Black men cry god damn
Let me tell you bout the man that I am
Bout the man that I am
[Outro]
