Too Hard (feat. Joe Con)

I watched that drop of water form in the corner of your eyes
And your mind says that a man ain't supposed to cry
Whose voice is that?
Come back, come back

Don't be so hard on yourself, no no
Don't be so hard
You're too hard on yourself, sweetheart
You're too hard on yourself, sweetheart

When did we decide being tough was right all the time?
I start to smile when I see you letting go of your pride
Whose voice is that?
Come back, come back

Don't be so hard on yourself, no no
Don't be so hard
You're too hard on yourself, sweetheart
You're too hard on yourself, sweetheart

Look, mirror mirror on the wall

Man, do you recall who you really are underneath it all?
More than just the sum of all the problems you can solve
And more than just that somebody who answers when she calls

Are you able to make peace with all the flaws
That you see when you take off the mask and let the pain dissolve?
Are you the rebel or the cause?
When it settles can you stand to be alone or are you lost?

Pause
Whether you answer yes or nah when the pressure falls
Do you reach within and grab that weapon from the dresser drawer?
I know you stressin' when the question isn't easy
But believe me, you gon' need me when you deafened by applause
We choose aggression even when we lose our blessing
'Cause we think it's our protection when we threatened by the law

We learn to hide and deny what's inside
And they tell us not to cry, but that's how we learn to fly

Yeah
Take off your masks
Show the world your scars
Gentleman, gentleman
Hold yourself like you hold our hearts
Don't, don't, don't

Don't be so hard on yourself, no no
Don't be so hard
You're too hard on yourself, sweetheart
You're too hard on yourself, sweetheart
Don't be so hard on yourself, no no
Don't be so hard
You're too hard on yourself, sweetheart
You're too hard on yourself, sweetheart

Baby be gentle
Baby be sweet to yourself
