[Intro]
Em Bm F#m G
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I get Ememotional
And I can't seem to find the way I'm sBm'posed to go
And all these so-called people that I'm F#ms'posed to know
F#mThey be the main ones
GSmile up in your face, but behind your back they hate
So I hEmope you know
You ain't the only reason I'm emBmotional
My tears fall like water so that I F#mcan grow
F#mNot like I was before
GTryna make a change, I need something more
[Pre-chorus]
I can't Emhold back these tBmears
BmLet me crF#my
They say a mGan ain't supposed to cry
[Chorus]
So I'ma let the Emsong cry
I'ma let my soBmul cry through these words
I need to try to frF#mee my mind
Sometimes I need to Gcry just to ease my hurt
But when I let the Emsong cry
Hope you don't think I stBmill won't ride for mine
Every rose needs the F#mrain sometimes
But know that you can Gdry your eyes this time
GLet the song cry
[Verse 2]
What am I supEmposed to do?
Hold it all together when I Bmthink of you?
When in my heart I'm thinking you were F#mgone too soon
May you reGst in peace, yet I can't sleep
It's my Empoint of view
Got me in a state of mind, I'm so coBmnfused
BmCrying raindrops so that I F#mcan bloom
GSo what am I to do?
[Pre-chorus]
I can't Emhold back these tBmears
BmLet me crF#my
They say a mGan ain't supposed to cry
[Chorus]
So I'ma let the Emsong cry
I'ma let my soBmul cry through these words
I need to try to frF#mee my mind
Sometimes I need to Gcry just to ease my hurt
But when I let the Emsong cry
Hope you don't think I stBmill won't ride for mine
Every rose needs the F#mrain sometimes
But know that you can Gdry your eyes this time
GLet the song cry
[Bridge]
GLet it breathe
BmLet it breathe
F#mLet it breathe
GLet's get it
[Verse 3]
I may be cryin' now but IEm'll be laughin' later
EmNo way, wouldn't be easy when you're Bmtryna be the greatest
BmThat ever did it or does it
BmAin't no fuF#mckin' time for later
F#mAnd I know they think I'm sporadic
The baGstard child of an addict
GBut I'm way too calculated
I try to Emlove, but I never knew her
EmThis money, I'm blowin' through it
BmAin't rockin' red or blue, I'm unafilliated
Cause my blF#moods and my cousins hate me
F#mI try to buy my mama's love, Gno she don't appreciate it
GSo I stay inebriated
EmI figured maybe J.Cole or Drizzy Drake
Would drop a Bmverse and tell the people how we hurtin'
BmGuess I was mistaken
F#mThis moment mine for the taking
F#mFor all them nights I Gthought of suicide, contemplating
[Pre-chrorus]
I can't Emhold back these tBmears
BmLet me crF#my
They say a mGan ain't supposed to cry
[Chorus]
So I'ma let the Emsong cry
I'ma let my soBmul cry through these words
I need to try to frF#mee my mind
Sometimes I need to Gcry just to ease my hurt
But when I let the Emsong cry
Hope you don't think I stBmill won't ride for mine
Every rose needs the F#mrain sometimes
But know that you can Gdry your eyes this time
GLet the song cry

F#m

[Intro]

Em Bm F#m G

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I get emotional

And I can't seem to find the way I'm s'posed to go

F#m

And all these so-called people that I'm s'posed to know

F#m

They be the main ones

Smile up in your face, but behind your back they hate

So I hope you know

You ain't the only reason I'm emotional

F#m

My tears fall like water so that I can grow

F#m

Not like I was before

Tryna make a change, I need something more

[Pre-chorus]

Em Bm

I can't hold back these tears

Bm F#m

Let me cry

They say a man ain't supposed to cry

[Chorus]

So I'ma let the song cry

I'ma let my soul cry through these words

F#m

I need to try to free my mind

Sometimes I need to cry just to ease my hurt

But when I let the song cry

Hope you don't think I still won't ride for mine

F#m

Every rose needs the rain sometimes

But know that you can dry your eyes this time

Let the song cry

[Verse 2]

What am I supposed to do?

Hold it all together when I think of you?

F#m

When in my heart I'm thinking you were gone too soon

May you rest in peace, yet I can't sleep

It's my point of view

Got me in a state of mind, I'm so confused

Bm F#m

Crying raindrops so that I can bloom

So what am I to do?

[Pre-chorus]

Em Bm

I can't hold back these tears

Bm F#m

Let me cry

They say a man ain't supposed to cry

[Chorus]

So I'ma let the song cry

I'ma let my soul cry through these words

F#m

I need to try to free my mind

Sometimes I need to cry just to ease my hurt

But when I let the song cry

Hope you don't think I still won't ride for mine

F#m

Every rose needs the rain sometimes

But know that you can dry your eyes this time

Let the song cry

[Bridge]

Let it breathe

F#m

Let it breathe

Let's get it

[Verse 3]

I may be cryin' now but I'll be laughin' later

Em Bm

No way, wouldn't be easy when you're tryna be the greatest

That ever did it or does it

Bm F#m

Ain't no fuckin' time for later

F#m

And I know they think I'm sporadic

The bastard child of an addict

But I'm way too calculated

I try to love, but I never knew her

This money, I'm blowin' through it

Ain't rockin' red or blue, I'm unafilliated

F#m

Cause my bloods and my cousins hate me

F#m G

I try to buy my mama's love, no she don't appreciate it

So I stay inebriated

I figured maybe J.Cole or Drizzy Drake

Would drop a verse and tell the people how we hurtin'

Guess I was mistaken

F#m

This moment mine for the taking

F#m G

For all them nights I thought of suicide, contemplating

[Pre-chrorus]

Em Bm

I can't hold back these tears

Bm F#m

Let me cry

They say a man ain't supposed to cry

[Chorus]

So I'ma let the song cry

I'ma let my soul cry through these words

F#m

I need to try to free my mind

Sometimes I need to cry just to ease my hurt

But when I let the song cry

Hope you don't think I still won't ride for mine

F#m

Every rose needs the rain sometimes

But know that you can dry your eyes this time
