Mike Cuke - Overdue Tears Lyrics

Tears wanna fall but they can't
The tears wanna fall but they can't
You can't see me cry, I'm a man
You can't see me cry, I'm a man
You can't see me cry, I'm a
Can't see me weep, hiding my face
You can't see me weak
Can't see me weep, hiding my face
You can't see me
Tears wanna fall but they can't
You can't see me cry, I'm a man
Life on distraction, money is adding, health is subtracting
Always in action, 'cause if I stay put you might see my reaction
How did this happen? Like who wrote the script? Why did I start acting
Like I'm made of plastic, I was trying to cope so I started a habit
I can't shed a tear, I can't show no fear, thoughts disappear like it's magic
I wasn't aware, they ain't make it clear that life would just end up so tragic
Am I being dramatic? or is running from pain what's making us addicts?
We hide behind status and stuff all our feelings like bread under mattress
Tears wanna fall but they can't
The tears wanna fall but they can't
You can't see me cry, I'm a man
You can't see me cry, I'm a man
You can't see me cry, I'm a
Can't see me weep, hiding my face
You can't see me weak
A man should never cry
Whoever told us that bullshit just know they f*cking lied
I couldn't cry when homie died because my f*cking pride
And then I wonder why sometimes I'm thinking suicide
Instead of telling them the truth I'd rather duck and hide
I'd rather roll a blunt
I'd rather smoke a spliff
I'd rather bust a nut
I'd rather drink a fifth
I'd rather knuckle up
I'd rather buy a whip
Bitch, just buckle up
I promise I'm okay, I promise I'm all right
I promise you that I be getting plenty sleep at night
I promise you I'm lying, inside I feel like dying
Just 'cause you never see the tears don't mean I don't be crying
Don't mean I don't be sad, don't mean I don't feel bad
Don't mean I don't wish I got more affection from my dad
Oh shit now that's too honest, I'm saying too much truth
If you keep digging at my soul you just might hit the root
You getting too close nigga back up
Holding on to trauma make us act up
Living in disguise, put the mask up
Taking all my feelings to the casket
Taking all my feelings to the graveyard
Maybe this started in the play yard?
I ain't know how to handle emotions
So I just decided to play hard!
So I just decided to run, but the baggage is weighing a ton
I'm tired of living life like this, I'm feeling like I might be done
I feel like I'm losing the belt, all my life I just did it myself
Will I be less of a man if I change the plan and ask for help?
Will I be a bitch if I start to switch and tell them how I really felt
Is it worth the risk? can I be fixed? I need to save me from myself
They told me you better not cry, you better wipe your face
But if real niggas don't cry, then I might just have to be fake
