I'LL CRY TODAY

[Chorus: C.S. Armstrong] Coulda kept it to myself, but I had to say Say a man ain't supposed to cry, ooh But I'll cry today But a river, a river worth of tears [???] They say a man ain't supposed to cry, ooh But I'll cry today I'll cry a river for your daughter [Verse: C.S. Armstrong] Ooh, dear God could ya, could you please show a nigga some grace? Dear God, you know, I was never taught love in the first place [???] I'm just tryna find it, day by day Sometimes love is blind, but I can see you [Chorus: C.S. Armstrong] Coulda kept it to myself, but I had to say Say a man ain't supposed to cry, ooh But I'll cry today But a river, a river worth of tears [???] They say a man ain't supposed to cry, ooh But I'll cry today I'll cry a river for your daughter [Bridge: C.S. Armstrong] I'll cry for you cus you're worth it I'll cry for you cus I need you I'll cry for you cus you're worth it, baby I'll cry Coulda kept it to myself [Spoken Word: Aja Monet] I wasn't built to lie about what I love Windows shuttering on soft cheeks A chest shivеring of shadows Buried in the backwater of bluеs When you can't get out of bed And your heart is in your head We be lonesome together Time-tinged tears bathe the spirit Lay your hurt down Let your chest be a feather As the tears stretch out You know how many times I cried for him? They haven't an ocean wide enough A sky blue enough The truth is what calms the terror And comforts the confusion A cry that wakes God from his sleep The mercy of the moon Magic in the meadows The folklore of fears Slow steps and weary knees Shrouded shoulders When you're too winded to fight And too angry to speak Grief got a mind of its own The safest place to hide is in the arms Soothed by the spilling You got me beating down walls Busted knuckles It's the surrender The hurt of healing Love songs and house flies How the face yells And the heart cries [Outro: C.S. Armstrong] Say a man ain't supposed to cry But I'll cry today I'll cry, I'll cry
