I really wanna cry, but men don't cry
They say it's a weakness, I gotta be strong
But what I'm going through now, they gotta be wrong
It's very hard to be me, how do y'all see me
I feel like I'm drowning, I'm struggling to overcome the waters
Everyday I'm thinking, what if I go beyond the borders
So many people out here poisoning the air They're out there damaging the name, not fair
They don't care, we ain't getting what we want
It's too hard achieving our goals, we fail again and again
When I try to find some work, all I get is the pain
And I'm not the only one, our brothers feel the same
They say I'm better off, I say they're better 'cause
They smile everyday, they drink everyday, never once they complain
So it's evident, nobody's happy then
Not by accident, it's a system and a plan
As long as on top, they don't care what's on the ground
The people is suffering, the promised land is yet to come
So it's evident, nobody's happy then
Not by accident, it's a system and a plan
As long as on top, they don't care what's on the ground
The people is suffering, the promised land is yet to come
And as simple as it gets, it doesn't get easy
Similar chess, you don't move freely
Life is but a game, don't care what you're feeling
Think less about the pain, persevere
'Cause hope is a healing, and make it clear
You the one in control, adhere
To the rules of your own, and be your own boss
Pay yourself respect, have a heart of a stone
You're heading for success, like they say
It takes hard work, so never rest
When times are the hardest never break, it's a quest
When lost in direction, find yourself
It's not without mistakes, we just do what it takes
So take what is given and invest
Wear a little smile to impress
Best keep your pride in check
It's a long way to go, but you need to start first
If you got hope, you can never stop
And I know, it can't be now
But the better days are yet to come
So it's evident, nobody's happy then
Not by accident, it's a system and a plan
As long as on top, they don't care what's on the ground
The people is suffering, the promised land is yet to come
So it's evident, nobody's happy then
Not by accident, it's a system and a plan
As long as on top, they don't care what's on the ground
The people is suffering, the promised land is yet to come
