Salymah IV - Son Cry Lyrics

Heard a man cry, had to ask why Father didn't factor presence in his life
Threw son keys, told him learn how to drive Outside lookin' in new Benz on fire
Pops throw money, don't see a need to spend time Buy son whatever, tryna fill void with price
Truth recognized, truth is love should be a crime Investin' in business, can't pay that child with this time
Work aholic job, bout to end his whole life western livin' ways, got to change how he reside
Head in the bed, he hide his tears as he cries

If only pops knew how he cries each night
If only pops knew how he cries each night
Heard a man cry, had to ask why Father didn' factor presence in his life

Showed warning signs, almost wrecked his new ride know society changin, feel he deserve to let it out
Better out than in, manage thoughts with his mouth Try to pick the best time frame, really, yes, really
Thinkin' to himself, is this idea silly? Boarder man pops how you live, not appealing
Tell me how to be a man, really need to see it Money can't buy happiness, internally I'm bleedin
Take care of me, that's the role you been givin' No more DoorDash or tv dinners
Feel like my soul on ice in this winter Money pays bills, can't replace love for instant
Gratification, tell me where the love went Live a life filled with your son, no amusement
As he spoke last words, father poked his head in Son, tell me how you feelin

Heard a man cry, had to ask why Father did in fact a presence in his life
Heard a man cry, had to ask why
