lirik lagu clarence the kid - black boys cry

[intro: clarence the kid]
the world’s so crazy right now…
i feel like every time i look at my phone
look at the… the news, f~cking anywhere
i just see destruction…
and it’s really not healthy at all
i feel like as black men we’ve
always been raised and taught to be tough
that emotion is a sign of weakness but
sh~t, with everything that’s happening i…
i don’t know man…

[verse 1: clarence the kid]
there’s a lot going on
so much going on
don’t keep it all in
it’s okay to be alarmed
we were raised to be strong
we were told to speak up
we been forced to act okay
but we’re too hurt to be tough

[hook: clarence the kid]
please let our black boys cry
(black boys cry, black boys cry)
it’s okay to let our black boys cry
(black boys cry, black boys cry)
let it out young king
[interlude: protesters]
this brother lost his life and the whole world saw him die
we don’t see white people die on tv by the police
why do we have to see that?
why did it have to happen?

i’m angry, i’m frustrated
i’m personally feeling angry, frustrated, mad
but i’m still trying to peacefully protest

[verse 2: clarence the kid]
it’s a war outside
people finally taking notice
we been fighting all our lives
this the only world we’re knowing
it feel like everyone against us
we’ve scrolled through social media
seen everybody k!ll us
and it never gets no easier

[hook: clarence the kid]
let black boys cry
(black boys cry, black boys cry)
it’s okay to let our black boys cry
(black boys cry, black boys cry)
let it out young king
[interlude: protester]
it’s sad, like just seeing police k!ll black people all the time
it’s, it’s like insane
like you see it on the news, you see it everywhere
so it’s just ~ it’s just sad as h~ll

[verse 3: clarence the kid]
the times have always been hard
spend most our lives looking for purpose and god
or something better, from the womb we’ve faced impossible odds
spend everyday trying to survive at the cost
of falling victim to a racist tryna give themselves power
or f~cking karen down the hall calling the cops every hour
antagonizing then playing victim, surrounded by cowards who
never wanna leave us be, this world will never be ours
that’s how i’m feeling in this…
that’s how i’m feeling in this world that really don’t want us in it
no matter what we’ll always carry the image
of being thugs or someone with bad intentions
i pull my phone out my pocket and they will think it’s a weapon
no second guess, man they just fear for their lives
just cuz of my appearance, i fear for mine
i seen the news, i’ve seen the countless bodies that’s been taken by copper crimes
i’ve seen the son~less mothers yell and shout and break down and cry
when they get told their baby’s lost in the night
and then be forced to watch the footage over and over and over on every social
network, black boys exposed to the way that they might just see it all end
with every share and retweet all we do is see it again
it’s never turning off we know the kind of world we live in
and it’s enough to make you
cry
[hook: clarence the kid]
just let our black boys cry
(black boys cry, black boys cry)
its okay to let our black boys cry
(black boys cry, black boys cry)
let it out young king
