That's What N****z Do

I'm a grown man, but I cry too, I know that y'all don't like it, but we're human too
We be aching from the heartaches and the trauma too
We don't live in a fantasy shit, we living too
People be thinking we immune from the hurt too

But we have childhood trauma that we still facing too
Sometimes that pain can go away, but it still leave a bruise
But we just handle it differently, that's what niggas do
I can really say I'm blessed

And I deserve it cause my childhood was a whole mess
A young nigga who best days was so depressed
But now I walk with a straight head and pumped chest
I was taught that you get more if you talk less

But shutting up is half the reason why our people stress
Because they hiding their feelings, thinking it's for the best
But grown people can't be taught so you can be my guest
And I ain't trying to save the world, I'm trying to save me

You by yourself in this jungle, please believe me
And I ain't looking for nobody to feel me
I went through hell, but that shit made me a prodigy
I'm a grown man, but I cry too

I know that y'all don't like it, but we're human too
We be aching from the heartaches and the trauma too
We don't live in a fantasy, shit we living too
People be thinking we immune from the hurt too

But we have childhood trauma that we still facing too
Sometimes that pain can go away, but it still leave a bruise
But we just handle it differently, that's what niggas do
I can look at my reflection and still see the pain

From the youngin who had a temper that never tamed
The black kid who desperately wanted shit to change
The lonely nigga that they joked about and called lame
We came from the same place, but never was the same

I never understood how motherfuckers laugh at pain
Only a person that's insecure and a lack of brain
All of my life I had to be the one who show restraint
It's a certain part of life that I'm just trying to reach

I pray to God every night to help me find peace
And I don't want no one around me, cause they all leech
My grandma said if they don't work, you never eat
I'm a grown man, but I cry too

I know that y'all don't like it, but we're human too
We be aching from the heartaches and the trauma too
We don't live in a fantasy shit, we living too
People be thinking we immune from the hurt too

But we have childhood trauma that we still facing too
Sometimes that pain can go away, but it still leave a bruise
But we just handle it differently, that's what niggas do
