歌词
I done had money, and I done been broke
I done been talked about something awful
Done been lied on by so many folks
I done even been depressed at times
And didn't wanna cry, 'cause my pride was too strong
But over the years I thought it over
And after struggling for so long and still holding on
I figured, can't be nothing all that wrong with crying
If anybody says that they're that strong, they're lying
See, crying is like taking your soul to the laundromat
It's like a feeling that you get (like a feeling you get)
When you see your grandmama's smile
Or the heavens open up and blessings rain down
Go on, child, and cry
Go on and cry, cry, cry
Go on and cry, cry, cry
We can cry, we can cry together
See I done been a player (come on, come on)
And I done been played (tell the truth, Lyfe, tell the truth)
I done went for some of the oldest tricks
From some of the coldest chicks God done ever made
But y'all hear me
Said I done even had a venereal disease (what is that? What?)
And didn't wanna go to the clinic, all that attention embarrassing me
But over the years, I've learned to understand
That I don't really give a damn what
Nobody say (nobody), I'm a man (nobody)
And we cry (ooh, yeah)
Cry (we cry)
We can cry, we can
We can cry, we can cry together
(Talkin' 'bout) talkin' 'bout whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
They say a man ain't supposed to cry (they say a man ain't supposed)
But I know, know, know for sure, sure, sure
That even men go through problems sometime
(Talkin' 'bout) talkin' 'bout whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa, whoa), yeah, yeah, yeah
They say a man ain't supposed to cry (whoa, oh, yeah)
But I know, know, know (know, yeah) for sure, sure, sure
That even men go through problems sometime
I'm a man, and we cry, ooh, ooh, ooh
Cry
Cry
Cry
Okay, okay, next part of the story is that
After about five or six years in the joint
I had cried all I could cry, and then you know
Other things were coming to me
More spiritual things was placed upon my heart
I started lookin', you know, in different places for God
And I think my exact age was, I was
26 years and 17 days old
