Never Cry (pt. 1 & 2) ft. Myth Got Beats Lyrics

What, what would you say is acceptable

I guess just if it's in your own room alone

It's ok for men to cry

You don't think men should cry publicly

Yeah, I think it shows a form of weakness

And society doesn't allow that

And all they ask is

How you gon increase the peace, when the peace decreased from yo heat releasing

Saying you follow Jesus, pimping people you be teaching

Claiming you own shit but most your possessions is leases

Seems like purpose defeated, yo life was cursed from a fetus

It's those inherited habits why you rarely established

And so the cycle continues, that hamster wheel is madness

Although you earn a bit, the cash you gain is poorly managed

So serials on them pistols suddenly start to vanish

When you gon decide to hold yourself accountable

People call you king, but royalty it ain't an ounce in you

Digging an early grave is all that you amounting to

Just to break even seems like you'll have to scale a mountain to

Damn

What have you done with your life

What problems passed on to your kids

What pain you causing your wife

How many times yo momma gon have to use her crib for collateral

For you to bail and make another move that's lateral

When you gon grow up

When you gon make a plan

When you gon stop your excuses and take a stand

See every time I'm gaining ground it's like the ground is sinking sand

It's so hard, when you a flawed man

They wonder why we never

Uh

They wonder why we never

Yeah

Black men do not get emotional in public

Michael Jordan cried once and it's a meme

It's true

When my mom passed, my dad was so afraid of someone seeing him cry

That he had his tear ducts removed

Well when it gets real cold he bleeds from his eyes now

Mmhm

Still, better than crying

They wonder why we never cry

Real men don't cry

They wonder why we never cry

Real men don't cry

They wonder why we never cry

cry cry cry cry hey

They wonder why we never cry

Cry, no, no

They wonder why we never cry

One mistake and I got locked away

Now I gotta hear this shit it seems like everyday, what can I say

A momentary lapse of judgement, caught with an illegal substance

Shouldn't mean I'll never gain forgiveness or an ounce of justice

But that's the harsh reality I'm presented with

Traveled the straight and narrow viewing limited benefits

9 to 5 never been a fit, baby moms want the lavishness

Resorting to savage actions actually start to make some sense

So I

Skim a portion off the top from the collection plate

Or spot a baller flossing, pop the chopper, grab the loot and skate

And I ain't sure if I'd have felt remorse without that prison date

But deep inside my soul, I know my goal's to see a brighter day

I wonder why am I forced to relive the blunders of my life

Life, life, life

Maybe a little support will help my wrongs become my rights

Rights, rights, rights

Damn

When you gon cut me some slack

And realize society's designed to hold brothers back

Or these verdicts they got us serving do more damage than good

Then when they free us, they deploy us in deplorable hoods

The fuck

Guess you assume all this degradation is motivation

Opposed to positive affirmation, you resort to hating

Man I'm just sayin, when you see me do right

Act like you notice and stay focused on that positive light

Please

They wonder why we never cry

Real men don't cry

They wonder why we never cry

Real men don't cry

They wonder why we never cry

cry cry cry cry hey

They wonder why we never cry

Cry, no, no

They wonder why we never cry

I've been anticipating this meet and greet

I've been seeing some of your work, it's pretty damn impressive

Look let's just cut to the chase

You know just as well as I know, that us, you and me working together

We can dominate

What you got in mind

I was thinking more along the lines of you joining me

Now why would I do something like that

It'll benefit us both
