Lyrics:
Sometimes I get emotional
And I can't seem to find the way I'm s'posed to go
And all these so-called people that I'm s'posed to know
They be the main ones
Smile up in your face, but behind your back they hate
So I hope you know
You're like the only reason I'm emotional
My tears fall like water so that I can grow
Not like I was before
Tryna make a change, I need something more
I can't hold back these tears
Let me cry
They say a man ain't supposed to cry
So I'ma let the song cry
I'ma let my soul cry through these words
I need to try to free my mind
Sometimes I need to cry just to ease my hurt
But when I let the song cry
Hope you don't think I still won't ride for mine
Every rose needs the rain sometimes
But know that you can dry your eyes this time
Let the song cry
What am I supposed to do?
Hold it all together when I think of you?
In my heart I'm thinking you were gone too soon
May you rest in peace, yet I can't sleep
It's my point of view
Got me in a state of mind, I'm so confused
Crying raindrops so that I can bloom
So what am I to do?
I can't hold back these tears
Let me cry
They say a man ain't supposed to cry
So I'ma let the song cry
I'ma let my soul cry through these words
I need to try to free my mind
Sometimes I need to cry just to ease my hurt
But when I let the song cry
Hope you don't think I still won't ride for mine
Every rose needs the rain sometimes
But know that you can dry your eyes this time
Let the song cry
Let it breathe
Let it breathe
Let it breathe
Let's get it
I may be cryin' now but I'll be laughin' later
No way, wouldn't be easy when you're tryna be the greatest
That ever did it or does it
Ain't no fuckin' time for later
And I know they think I'm sporadic
The bastard child of an addict
But I'm way too calculated
I try to love, but I never knew her
This money, I'm blowin' through it
Ain't rockin' red or blue, I'm unafilliated
Cause my bloods and my cousins hate me
I try to buy my mama's love, no she don't appreciate it
So I stay inebriated
I figured maybe J. Cole or Drizzy Drake
Would drop a verse and tell the people how we hurtin'
Guess I was mistaken
This moment mine for the taking
For all them nights I thought of suicide, contemplating
I can't hold back these tears
Let me cry
They say a man ain't supposed to cry
So I'ma let the song cry
I'ma let my soul cry through these words
I need to try to free my mind
Sometimes I need to cry just to ease my hurt
But when I let the song cry
Hope you don't think I still won't ride for mine
Every rose needs the rain sometimes
But know that you can dry your eyes this time
Let the song cry

MOA pls be careful with ur words, Yeonjun did a great cover but the lyrics he didn’t put in the cover are really sad. This song was written for the singers brother that was shot and mentions his suicidal thoughts afterwards. Be mindful with the comments you make ?

Leila Drame This is a beautiful song ❤️❤️

[@azka371]

Thank You 😢😊

[@akdlg9sjjslk8]

MOA, be aware that this artist made this song as a tribute to his brother who passed away. Reconsider just saying “Who’s here cuz of Yeonjun 😍” please. It’s totally fine to acknowledge discovering the song from him, but also consider acknowledging the original artist who made this song, realize its background/meaning, and go on from there. Make a more meaningful comment is what I’m trying to say! This is a song with a lot of heartfelt meaning, so let’s respect the artist and his brother too.

I came here because I'm actually a fan of August. And it really disgust me that some of these kpoppers are disrespecteding him about his own song.

[@sofiasantos7619]

@@sapphire807 Sorry, many of us didn't know the meaning of this song, especially non-American fans, like me. I find it completely ridiculous to say "Yeonjun's cover is better!" Because it was August who wrote the lyrics and he produced it. I liked the song and got to know it thanks to Yeonjun, I'm not crazy enough to say those things. I hope you don't get the Moas wrong, most of them are nice and very kind, please don't judge the "Fandom" much less the group by some clueless people... August is a great singer and apparently a great artist also, after all, his music managed to play a South Korean (Yeonjun himself said that, during the training days, he listened to this song and was impressed, impressed to the point of years after doing a cover). I respect him just for making my favorite idol do that.

This is so moving. I have so much respect for August. He is honestly so inspiring. Make it home was the first song that I had heard of his. After learning the meaning and reason behind the song it made me tear up. It really shed a light on the importance of family and the pain that violence brings. I admire you so much.

[Verse 1] Sometimes I get emotional And I can't seem to find the way I'm s'posed to go And all these so-called people that I'm s'posed to know They be the main ones, smile up in your face, but behind your back they hate So I hope you know, you ain't the only reason I'm emotional My tears fall like water so that I can grow Not like I was before Tryna make a change, I need something more [Pre-Chorus] I can't hold back these tears, let me cry They say a man ain't supposed to cry [Chorus] So I'ma let the song cry I'ma let my soul cry through these words I need to try to free my mind Sometimes I need to cry just to ease my hurt But when I let the song cry Hope you don't think I still won't ride for mine Every rose needs the rain sometimes But know that you can dry your eyes this time Let the song cry [Verse 2] What am I s'posed to do? Hold it all together when I think of you? When in my heart I'm thinking you were gone too soon May you rest in peace, yet I can't sleep 'Cause my point of view Got me in a state of mind, I'm so confused Crying raindrops so that I can bloom So what am I to do? [Pre-Chorus] I can't hold back these tears, let me cry They say a man ain't supposed to cry [Chorus] So I'ma let the song cry I'ma let my soul cry through these words I need to try to free my mind Sometimes I need to cry just to ease my hurt But when I let the song cry Hope you don't think I still won't ride for mine Every rose needs the rain sometimes But know that you can dry your eyes this time Let the song cry [Bridge] Let it breathe Let it breathe Let it breathe Fuck, let's get it [Verse 3] I may be cryin' now but I'll be laughin' later Knew it wouldn't be easy when you're tryna be the greatest That ever did it or does it Ain't no fuckin' time for later And I know they think I'm sporadic The bastard child of an addict But I'm way too calculated I try to love, but I never knew it This money, I'm blowin' through it Ain't rockin' red or blue, I'm unafilliated 'Cause my bloods and my cousins hate me I try to buy my mama's love, she don't appreciate it So I stay inebriated I figured maybe J.Cole or Drizzy Drake Would drop a verse and tell the people how we hurtin' Guess I was mistaken This moment mine for the takin' For all them nights I thought of suicide, contemplatin' [Pre-Chorus] I can't hold back these tears, let me cry They say a man ain't supposed to cry [Chorus] So I'ma let the song cry I'ma let my soul cry through these words I need to try to free my mind Sometimes I need to cry just to ease my hurt But when I let the song cry Hope you don't think I still won't ride for mine Every rose needs the rain sometimes But know that you can dry your eyes this time Let the song cry
