If I behave unstable
It is not intentional
I blame it on you
Yes, on your narratives
That boys don't cry

You say men shouldn't cry
You see crying men as weaklings
Why shouldn't I cry my cry
Even Lions cry, so why not?
We have all been mis-schooled

Depression comes in different  shades
Crying is soothingly therapeutic
So, let me cry my cry in peace
Or is it your cry?
One day, your time will come

If I sink into depression
Because I am being a man
When depression leads to death
Will you take care of my loved ones?
Can you legalise your promise?

I vented my anger on drinks
I became a chronic drunk
I laced it with womanising
I became nymphomaniac

I am first human, then a man
All you need do is ask nicely
Maybe we can be good friends
That we may cry and win together

Stand up for the boy child
Tell them it's okay to fall and cry
How do you cope with a falling grade?

I am single and unmarried
Married and unhappy
Do you have a nagging partner?
"Every Mallam to his kettle" please
Don't add if you can't help

I have a right to cry
It is not a weakness
It is a display of emotion
Ask women, they cry in sorrow and gladness
Stop the emotional blackmail

There is a child in every man
A tear in every gland
Boys lives matters too
Let me heal and cry in peace
Spread the news...

Do you know my story?
If you know my past
You will appreciate my pain
Then my praise
Boys needs help too

Failure is but school, learn
Suicide is not an option
Marriage is not by force
Singleness is not a curse
If you are hurt, cry your cry

When a breadwinner dies
A wife looses a husband
A child loses a father
A family looses a sibling
It's okay to cry, so cry...

Don't vent it on addictives
If you have ever been told
"Man up; boys don't cry"
You have been abused
Gather here, let's cry together
