[Chorus – 8 Bars]
Thugs got tears too, we just cry in the dark
We bleed red, feel pain, we just cover the marks
Yeah, we tough on the surface, but we break on the low
Tryna find someone to talk to, but we never let it show
We need love, we need peace, we need arms that hold
But the world only see us when our heart turns cold
So if you feel me, don’t judge what I been through
[Verse 1 – 16 Bars]
Grew up with nothin’, just a name and a block
Mama cried when the heat came, bangin’ the Glock
Pop gone, so the streets showed me how to survive
Taught to never show emotion, keep that dead in my eyes
I seen homies take shots, brains laid on the curb
And the hood said, “man up,” like feelin’ pain was absurd
So I bottled it, locked it, drank the hurt away
Woke up with blood on my hands, couldn’t wash it away
Tried prayin’, but my soul feel distant and bruised
Can’t explain what it’s like when you’re built just to lose
Used to dream ‘bout love, now I dream ‘bout peace
But the peace only come when the triggers release
[Chorus – 8 Bars]
Thugs got tears too, we just cry in the dark
We bleed red, feel pain, we just cover the marks
Yeah, we tough on the surface, but we break on the low
Tryna find someone to talk to, but we never let it show
We need love, we need peace, we need arms that hold
But the world only see us when our heart turns cold
So if you feel me, don’t judge what I been through
Just know behind the silence, a thug got tears too
[Verse 2 – 16 Bars]
Reminiscin’ on the times when I ain’t sleep for days
Gun under my pillow, mind trapped in a haze
Watched my brother OD, and I ain’t been right since
Tryna smile through the trauma, but my soul got dents
Can’t talk to nobody, they just say “stay strong”
But what if strength mean finally cryin’ after holdin’ it long?
I seen kids turn killers just to earn some respect
And mothers bury sons with they hearts all wrecked
I’m tired of funerals, tired of fake peace
Tired of saying “I’m good” when the pain won’t cease
They think we monsters, just product of our environment
But never ask how we feel, just hand us the violence
[Chorus – 8 Bars]
Thugs got tears too, we just cry in the dark
We bleed red, feel pain, we just cover the marks
Yeah, we tough on the surface, but we break on the low
Tryna find someone to talk to, but we never let it show
We need love, we need peace, we need arms that hold
But the world only see us when our heart turns cold
So if you feel me, don’t judge what I been through
Just know behind the silence, a thug got tears too
[Verse 3 – 16 Bars]
I remember holdin’ my first strap, hands shakin’ like leaves
Just a kid with some anger and a mouth full of grief
No role models, just OGs with scars
Taught me crime pays better than wishin’ on stars
So I ran with the wolves, heart froze in a shell
Tryna prove I belong, while my soul went to hell
They say “never let ‘em see you sweat, never let ‘em see you cry”
But I lost so many friends, sometimes I wish I could die
And not in a suicidal way, more like peace from the strain
I been wrestlin’ with demons, tryna outrun the flame
They say time heal all, but some wounds run deep
I hear screams in my dreams when I try to sleep
[Chorus – 8 Bars]
Thugs got tears too, we just cry in the dark
We bleed red, feel pain, we just cover the marks
Yeah, we tough on the surface, but we break on the low
Tryna find someone to talk to, but we never let it show
We need love, we need peace, we need arms that hold
But the world only see us when our heart turns cold
So if you feel me, don’t judge what I been through
Just know behind the silence, a thug got tears too
