    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, 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.

      @@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.

Im having a hard time grapsing my new reality and trying to remain sober. Im glad i made it here. These lyrics hit you completely different when you lose someone close to you. When he says "ima let my soul cry thru these words" I FELT That. . I like to write and make music and this is perfect way to get out how I'm feeling when I cant express myself. Thank you August for this meaningful song and helping me thru a tough time.

    The result of a lyrical heart bleeding mind & a tear crying voice. You touch my heart (and every single hair of my body), after all this time, i want to say thank you august, being there for me and help me surviving with your music. *handsdown

    august is underrated because he doesn't feed into all this fake media bullshit the mainstream makes you do for the fame. he's kept it 100 and the same since even before he was famous. that's why he's my favorite artist.

    This song, I listen to it when Ive been at rock bottom before and it always reminds me that pain is okay. Its okay to hurt. Its apart of life. There would be no happiness without pain. Gotta be grateful for each and every day that we have here. Ive lost so many friends and it really changes how you view the world.
