Black Child

"Black boy, black girl, just don't cry
You weak child if you show whats inside"
Turn emotion into rage thats our life
Cuz nobody said affections alright

Wish I didn't care whats said about me
I can't help it someone said an egos way more important
Feeling like it's demons fighting for me
Cuz ain't nobody there to say "it's alright, it's alright"
Tell me
Where do I go who do I turn to
When I'm alone with the world on my shoulders
When I start thinkin'
"Maybe they're better off without me... I'm just a problem."

It gets too hard
It gets too hard sometimes
Dealing with these emotions when everyone's around you saying

"Black boy, black girl just don't cry
You weak child if you show whats inside
Turn emotion into rage thats your life
Cuz nobody cares about whats inside"

But don't give up and don't give in
Cuz your tears are stronger than they make it seem
When you don't think its okay
Just take a minute, push to the limit
I'm here to tell you, "you gone be alright"
I'm here to tell you, "you gone be alright"
It ain't nothin better than your life
And you only gonna have the chance at one try

You just sit in your room staring at blank walls that cause typhoons in your head
And you pray for better days but who knows what day it'll be okay
You ain't gotta hide from what you're feelin'
All the pain you feel is gonna help you in your healin'

So don't give up and don't give in
Cuz your tears are stronger than they make it seem
When you don't think its okay
Just take a minute, push to the limit yeah
It's gon' be hard
It's gon' be hard sometimes
Dealin' with these emotions just
Don't listen when they say

"Black boy, black girl just don't cry
You weak child if you show what's inside
Turn emotion into rage thats your life
Cuz nobody cares about what's inside"
But don't give up and don't give in
Cuz your tears are stronger than they make it seem
When you don't think its okay
Just take a minute, push to the limit

I'm here to tell you, "you gone be alright"
I'm here to tell you, "you gone be alright"
There ain't nothin better than your life
And you only got one chance
It's alright

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright, yeah yeah
It's okay to cry
You'll be alright, yeah yeah
It's okay to cry
