Big boys don't cry
We barely bleed, oh
We have to hide
Behind our pride and built-up walls
Big boys don't cry-y-y-y-y
We barely bleed, oh
We have to hide
Behind our pride and built-up walls
Big boys don't cry
I'm startin' to understand manhood
If I had to describe, it's bein' in tune with emotions
But out of tune with the stress they provide
It's bein' their superman at your lowest while tryna wear a disguise
Then bein' invisible, nobody carin' if you're even dead or alive
It's goin' to war in your brain with no ammunition or a target to shoot at or aim
It's bein' the rock, the hammer, a safe space, and a place to escape
The one they call when the emergency brake jams on the chosen path they've paved
When you told them they should turn around, think twice, and go the opposite way
It's bein' the villain and toleratin' disrespect
It's wantin' to cry at the funeral, but you can't 'cause you're strong for everyone else
It's puttin' your life on the line
Bein' willin' to die for people who don't know your name
Who claim they don't need you 'til death's starin' them right in the face
Big boys don't cry
We barely bleed, oh (we barely bleed, oh)
We have to hide (we have to hide)
Behind our pride and built-up walls
Big boys don't cry-y-y-y-y
We barely bleed, oh
We have to hide (we have to hide)
Behind our pride and built-up walls
Big boys don't cry
And if we do, it's in the shower, lotta responsibility comes with this power, uh
Show emotion, you're a coward, they don't respect you until you're gone, then it's flowers
Everyone wants somethin', it weighs on your mind, you're doin' your best, tryna protect and provide
Put everyone first, and then the second, you try to rely on the same ones is when they push you aside
There's no makeup to cover up yo' scars, no scale to weigh, the pain that's on your heart
They expect you to smile while the life you built is ripped and tears apart
So you swallow your pride, battle your ego that comes like a thief in the night
Struggle with lust while wantin' to need the things that money can't buy
Go to work every day 'til ya bones break, pay ya taxes for government fraud
Go to church to a pastor on Sunday 'til you find out he thinks he's a God
And you cannot complain 'cause the moment you lose your masculine frame
You're labeled the villain in every picture they paint
Big boys don't cry
We barely bleed, oh (we barely bleed, oh)
We have to hide (we have to hide)
Behind our pride and built-up walls
Big boys don't cry-y-y-y-y
We barely bleed, oh
We have to hide (we have to hide)
Behind our pride and built-up walls
Big boys don't cry
