It's Okay to Cry

Prophetically told that it's written engraved
That I'mma, legend-to-be but I gotta contain
All of my, truth be told, yeah i'm floodin with pain
Not the six paths let me explain
Facin' all my, demons of dark and confront it with love
Tired of sittin in angst and feel i'm not enough
Yeah my bubble will bust
I admit, yeah it sucks
Yeah, I got a blank face while inside imma erupt
To my African brothers, it's okay to just cry
It's okay to not feel happy or feel safest inside
Hiding how we feel, we were raised as the guardians
How we gon protect our hearts if it's what we guard against
Got self-doubt, yeah we take it to the heart again
Hard to stand up, stand strong and be positive
Hard-made shell but inside it's the opposite
Sad ass nigga, I can say that shit in confidence

Breakin all ties, I'm not fine
Tryna heal it all, some days I cry
Find the lies within myself
Faith in God is getting by
Wake up in the mornin, I stare and sigh
Smoke my pain, i'm always high
Workin all day, this isn't life
I still act cool, and say yeah i'm fine

It's okay to cry
It's okay to cry
It's okay to cry
It's okay to cry
Tears be runnin' down my cheek
I'm so low and I'm so weak
Everyday and every week
All by myself

And it's all for you
Hmmm
And it's all for you
