Thug Tears

Ayy

Jordan on the beat

It’s a story behind these tears

They say a thug don’t cry

But when my mama died

My brother gotta hide his eyes

And I can’t stop these tears (No)

No

I can’t stop these tears, no

From fallin'

There’s a story behind these tears

I won’t apologize for pain that I been through

They say a man don’t cry, but I cry

I don’t care what other men do

Sheddin' tears, walkin' through Rollin' Hills, talkin' to the dirt

Lookin' to the sky like, «Damn, this shit hurt!»

You ever held your mama hand and told her close her eyes

Walked to the bathroom, came back and then your mother died?

Imagine walkin' in your daddy room and his eyes to the sky

His vital signs done died, you close his eyes and tell him goodbye

You ever told your granny you love her, then you walk out the room

To hear your auntie screamin', «She gone too soon!»

My mama got ten sisters, okay, she was the first one of 'em to die

As soon as she died auntie Sasha was right on her side

Don’t know my pain, don’t know my story, don’t know my struggle, it’s hard

My brother 49 and spent over 35 on the yard

From Juvenile to YA to penitentiary cells

The pastor tell us heavin' comin', but we livin' in hell

It’s a story behind these tears

They say a thug don’t cry

But when my mama died

My brother gotta hide his eyes

And I can’t stop these tears (No)

No

I can’t stop these tears, no

From fallin'

There’s a story behind these tears

Daughter burst in my room and said, «Daddy, why is you cryin'?»

Gave me a hug and gave me a kiss and wiped the tears from my eyes

I can’t lie, sometimes I miss my mom, I cry to myself

I tell myself she’s still at the hospital, I lie to myself

The hostice told me if she code red, then don’t code blue

And mama told me, let her die, that’s the birth-told truth

She don’t wanna be here, can’t eat, keep losin' weight

Went blind in her left eye, can’t even see straight

Mama’s only child, seein' mama pass, it was odd

Turned me to an atheist, on mamas, I be flashin' on God

Like, «Ain't no God, why he let these babies die in these streets?»

«And how these boys get molested by these lyin' ass priests?»

And little girls get raped by the preacher, police harassment

Leave us ghetto kids to be bastards, all I’m askin'

If heaven do exist, can the poor get all the passes?

I was starvin', that’s why I never made it to my classes

It’s a story behind these tears

They say a thug don’t cry

But when my mama died

My brother gotta hide his eyes

And I can’t stop these tears (No)

No

I can’t stop these tears, no

From fallin'

There’s a story behind these tears

I ain’t afraid to cry, tears rollin' down my face in this booth

Most of these niggas lie, all I can do is go tell the truth

And all I ever wanted was some peace on the block

Memories are on my mind of when Lil Keise got shot

Opened the door, some bullet holes in his chest with smoke comin' out

(Get him some help!) It felt like a movie, but time was runnin' out

Take him to the hospital, hope that he make it

Kid was dead on the scene, Jehova ain’t safe

Seem like the world is Goliath, I’m just tryna be David

And like a torn ACL, it ain’t nothin to play with

Cans we was savin' tryna recycle for bills

Man, this ghetto will drive you crazy, I’m goin' psycho for real

I put my all into these lyrics, my heart into the spirit

Channel my pain from my pain from my brain, I just hope that y’all hear it

It’s deeper than music, can the love fly

And when you all by yourself, I know that thugs cry

It’s a story behind these tears

They say a thug don’t cry

But when my mama died

My brother gotta hide his eyes

And I can’t stop these tears (No)

No

I can’t stop these tears, no

From fallin'
