They Don't Cry (feat. Kwon)

How many dollars do you have up in your bag, love?
Can you make the rent?
Can you even keep your job?
Seems like common sense, it doesn't leave a lot to lend
Got stuck on what they wanted
Now we're mad and at the end

It should be different now
People, they should be out living how they want
Running on stigma now
People they should be out loving who they want

And I just don't understand
The ways they be moving
The ones at the top of command
It should be different now
It should be different

They might tear you down
But I'll lift you up
It's been one hell of a ride
For the both of us
See the maple tree and the purple sky
We'll never know why
They don't cry
They don't cry

I got the sadness but responsibility
To mend some of the roots
And put some water on the seeds
It's up to us the change our generation for the needy
Bring some wealth together for the helpers
Not the greedy

It should be different now
People, they should be out living how they want
Running on stigma now
People they should be out loving who they want

And I just don't understand
The ways they be moving
The ones at the top of command
It should be different now
It should be different

They might tear you down
But I'll lift you up
It's been one hell of a ride
For the both of us

See the maple tree and the purple sky
We'll never know why
They don't cry
They don't cry

Don't worry about what people say
They're gonna talk, they're gonna talk
They're gonna lose this anyway
Don't worry about what people do
It means nothing cause I'm gonna be with you

Oh, yeah

They might tear you down
But I'll lift you up
It's been one hell of a ride
For the both of us

See the maple tree and the purple sky
We'll never know why
They don't cry
They don't cry
