All My Boys

Now there's something that's been on my mind
We've got so many songs about being strong and tough
And about being independent and strutting your stuff
But I don't think we talk enough
Bout the boys that we know and love
But I don't think we talk enough
About the boys that we know and love
No I don't think we talk enough
About the boys that we know and love
I'm talking about my best friend, my brother
It could be your son or your lover
Your cousin or your father
I'm talking 'bout all of my boys

All of my boys, bringing me joy
All of my boys, make some noise, say yeah
If you're a good friend and a good man
If the compassion is real and you are honest
You're one of the boys, bringing me joy
Say yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah

Shout out to my brothers who understand
Shout out to my boys who know just how to be a man
Shout out to my boys who are respecting what you want
Shout out to my brothers giving grown man's love
Shout out to my boys showing generosity
And to the men who're really listening to me
Shout out to my boys who are showing grace and patience
Shout out to the men with courage and forgiveness

My boys, bringing me joy
All of my boys, make some noise, say yeah
If you're a good friend and a good man
If the compassion is real and you are honest
You're one of the boys, bringing me joy
Say yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah

Shout out to my boys who let their feelings show
Shout out to my boys who aren't afraid to say no
Shout out to my boys supporting families
Shout out to my brothers out there raising babies
Shout out to my boys who're doing their best to get by
Shout out to my brothers working hard to provide
Shout out to my brothers making tough decisions
Shout out to my boys who're keeping goals and visions

All of my boys, bringing me joy
All of my boys, make some noise, say yeah
If you're a good friend and a good man
If the compassion is real and you are honest
You're one of the boys, bringing me joy
Say yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah

And the truth is, I wouldn't be where
I am today without the best boys in my life
Talking about my friends and my family
They helped me through, they
Helped me through the hard times
Say yeah, yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah

All of my boys, bringing me joy
All of my boys, make some noise, say yeah
If you're a good friend and a good man
If the compassion is real and you are honest
You're one of the boys, you're one of the boys
Bringing me joy, say yeah
All of my boys, bringing me joy
All of my boys, make some noise, say yeah
If you're a good friend and a good man
If the compassion is real and you are honest
You're one of the boys, bringing me joy
Say yeah
Say yeah
Say yeah
Say yeah
