Текст песни Cry - Khaii

Listen, everyone faces hardships
So, understand I'm not seeking pity
I just want you to stop comparing
Don't belittle yourself, thinking your problems are too small to complain or hurt
Or even cry about
It's okay not to be okay
Don't ever let anyone tell you to bottle it up
Cry if you wanna cry

Yeah
14, in high school, I didn't get it
Lived with my dad, I was sad, I can't forget it
My brother was abusing me, but how could I prevent it?
Inside is where I kept it, I just had to accept it
You heard me, yeah I said it
Stepmom beat me till I bled, I didn't sweat it
Daddy witnessed it but to my Mom, he didn't express it
She saw the bruises, wanted to press charges, I was skeptic
I told her to forget it, right there is where we left it
You hear my story, you gon' think you finally got the answers
Why I love who I love, the reason y'all can't stand her
Worried 'bout the wrong things, fight me like they fight cancer
But never say the good like "damn she got really good grammar"
Hm
Think I need sympathy?
No, I do this to inspire, so you'll remember me
All that trauma hitting home, but I'll remain a G
I'm my only competition, me vs. me
Yeah

If I needa cry, imma cry
I'm the only one wiping these tears from my eyes
It's okay not to be okay, we normalize the lies
Throw away the fake smile
And cry if you wanna cry
Emotions keep us alive
I thought suppression was the right way through it as a child
You gotta really heal, forget ya pride
Mental health is as important as your life
Throw away the fake smile
And cry if you wanna cry
Yeah

22, early 2020, I lost my dawg
Shit hurt me to my heart, I felt way sicker than a cough
You don't ever move on, you just learn to cope with a loss
My nigga Lam was talented, rapping his ass off
Late nights up in the stu with Cory, I never thought
It would be this hard, I'd lose him to asphalt
Speeding when the road's dark, I know it ain't your fault
But we're still broken, can't take the cast off
At 14, my grandparents got murdered, nothing's in shipshape
Shit I went through ain't for the weak, I'm like six days
Suck it up like a runny nose, ball like the Knicks game
Cause even when I'm hurt I give bars like I'm an inmate
They tell you there's a reason for everything, ain't no mistakes
But you think is a big waste, pain doesn't let you think straight
Stop tellin' people how to feel, stop tryna dictate
Too much is on the table and some of us got a thin plate
Yeah

If I needa cry, imma cry
I'm the only one wiping these tears from my eyes
It's okay not to be okay, we normalize the lies
Throw away the fake smile
And cry if you wanna cry
Emotions keep us alive
I thought suppression was the right way through it as a child
You gotta really heal, forget ya pride
Mental health is as important as your life
Throw away the fake smile
And cry if you wanna cry
Yeah
