[ Featuring Tarık ]
We spend most of our lives just tryna build something
Don't forget to take a moment and just feel something
Even if that makes a nigga wanna kill something
Embrace it, not literally but if it's there then face it
You gon make it out the other side
The clock keeps ticking everyday
That's regardless how you feel inside
So let me chime in
Searching for a new sense of clarity
No matter the gravity of situation I'm in
Some niggas drink some niggas smoke but that ain't no way to cope
All that's doing is just numbing the pain
And from that there is nothing to gain
Spill your emotions instead see
Atleast then way you ain't leaving a stain
What will remain is the fact that we all in need of some soul-searching
Accepting help, ain't accepting defeat
We all do it man except for the weak
So next time it's weighing heavy
It's okay if you ain't ready
Let me hear you sing
Real women cry uh, I know thugs cry too yeah
But baby don't forget to smile (don't forget)
Everyone once in a while (yeah)
I said this shit can get real tiring I hope my words are inspiring I said
Real women cry uh, I know thugs cry too
But nigga don't forget to smile (don't forget nigga)
Every once in a while
Aye, ain't nothing good come from fear
It can only go up from here you know
(Uh, uh) I'm ear to ear with mine
That's not a flex, that's more like a pin drop to my current location
But if you took a trip down my previous destinations
You would see the man that I was before affirmations
You would see the work before the congratulations
Might even see the tears on me and my mother's faces
The boy I was then would've desperately traded places
With the man that I've become or this version I'm undertaking
I'm really in blossom mode I've beaten all obstacles
Past present and future tense
Too late I'm too convinced
Changing my life for the better and in the truest sense
I write movies these verses are based on true events
A long shot would only take me a few attempts
To change the world I'll simply do what I do within
The choice is yours it's very little to do with them
Real women cry uh, I know thugs cry too yeah
But baby don't forget to smile (don't forget)
Everyone once in a while (yeah)
I said this shit can get real tiring I hope my words are inspiring I said
Real women cry uh, I know thugs cry too
But nigga don't forget to smile yeah
Every once in a while
Aye, ain't nothing good come from fear
It can only go up from here you know
