Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Uh
Listen
[Verse 1]
They said, "Toughen up, kid"
Blood on my knees, I did
Swallowed hurt like medicine
Called it strength, kept it in
Bite my tongue till it tastes like rust
Smile on my face, but I don’t trust
Every “you good?” just a test I hide
Turn my heartbreak into armor inside
[Chorus]
Boy don’t cry, that’s what they told me
So I learned how to bleed in low-key
Smile wide while the pain runs high
Turn my tears to a flame in my eyes
Boy don’t cry, that’s what they say still
But I’m done playing statue, stay still
If I break, that don’t mean I die
I’m still here when a boy lets cry
[Verse 2]
Pop said, "Stand up straight, be hard"
Mama hugged me soft in the dark
Friends clown feelings, call it weak
So we joke when we wanna speak
Every loss that I never got to mourn
Turned to storms, kept me torn
Now I’m looking in the mirror like, "Why?"
Who decided real men can’t sigh?
[Chorus]
Boy don’t cry, that’s what they told me
So I learned how to bleed in low-key
Smile wide while the pain runs high
Turn my tears to a flame in my eyes
Boy don’t cry, that’s what they say still
But I’m done playing statue, stay still
If I break, that don’t mean I die
I’m still here when a boy lets cry
[Bridge]
If I shed one tear
Do I lose my name?
If I speak my fear
Do I lose my flame?
I’m tired of hiding every scar like a lie
I’m alive ‘cause I feel, not ‘cause I’m dry (yeah)
[Chorus]
Boy don’t cry, that’s what they told me
So I learned how to bleed in low-key
Smile wide while the pain runs high
Turn my tears to a flame in my eyes
Boy don’t cry, that’s what they say still
But I’m done playing statue, stay still
If I break, that don’t mean I die
I’m more man when a boy lets cry

Style
rap, Moody melodic trap with male vocals; sparse piano riff over dark, swinging drums and deep bass. Intimate, close-mic verses with tucked-in harmonies; chorus widens with layered chants and a subtle pitch-shifted hook. Energy builds from vulnerable to defiant by the last chorus, keeping the groove hypnotic and head-nodding.
