Mecca Rebell - Cry (Strength From Weakness) lyrics

[First Verse] It's funny how this model of society works This song's 'bout certain twerks focusing on water works And how it's perfectly fine when a woman twists left But when a man cries it's so far from right only wrong is left If you a boy and someone sees you cryin' that's taboo If you're afraid to show your true self you ain't a man (that's true) This what we raise our youth into So many people not one with themselves or anything If they close it's at least two Why is that men crying is blasphemy? “Be tough pull yo'self together get your act together B!” As a result we get 20- 30- 40- year old boys Who don't know how to deal with their emotions shiittt Physically Men who are empty mentally and spiritually Try to fill the void with over aggressiveness Thing is they externalize all their energy so they don't change a damn thang within themselves uh Mecca Rebell here to say a real man is not afraid To fully feel life with its sunshine plus the shade Understand all aspects of life we are made Without sour times there wouldn't life's sweet lemonade Run that back run that back run that back run that back run that back now uh Understand all aspects of life we are made Without sour times there wouldn't be life's sweet lemonade [Chorus 2x] It's okay to cry du don't be afraid Scars be the essence which the strong are made Pure tears remind fear to not come near The courageous one who finds strength from weakness is revered [Bridge: Brianti] [Second Verse] Yin yang is that thang Freedom bells rang The type that only in complete silence can you hear it clang Funny how there's so much truth to be found in things ironic Like how my bare skin more powerful than the two-ton tunic Strength from weakness toughness from softness You'll learn this to be true as you progress on your process Check what I mean like a bamboo versus willow If your husband is the latter prepare to be a widow Swim against the current Fight against the wind you can't win Difference 'tween oars and sails is wisdom Whats builds within let it out don't hold it in Lettin' it boil inside just amplifies the explosion so Let it go like the out breath Relax to enter hard through the easy way is how I OD on the METH Life's only possible through exhale and inhale Half and half take one out and oh well... [Chorus] [Bridge]
