Why me
Lyrics
Intro – spoken, low, Drake vibe)
Yeah... they see the smiles, but miss the war inside.
Heavy crown, man. Let's talk.
Chorus
Heavy crown on my head, but I'm drownin' in silence
Heart broke from her words, now the pain's my only alliance
Men don't cry, that's the lie that they feed us
Bottlin' demons, 'til the reaper come greet us
Seek help, bro, don't wait 'til you shatter
Mental wars in the dark, don't let 'em matter
She left with my peace, left me scarred in the night
But I'm learnin' to fight... yeah, I'm learnin' to fight
Verse 1
She hit me with the "it's not you, it's me," but her eyes said different
Packed up her feelings, left the ring on the kitchen
Now I'm scrollin' through texts at 3 AM, heart glitchin'
Fake laugh for the 'Gram, but inside I'm straight missin'
Used to be the strong one, shoulder for the crew
Now the mirror show a stranger, don't know what to do
Pills in the cabinet callin', voice in my head brawlin'
"Man up," they say—fuck that, I'm done fallin'
Remember nights we was laughin', now the bed feel like a cage
Her scent on the pillow, turn the page but it rage
Bills pilin', pride dyin', can't even hit my moms
'Cause real men hold it down—'til the real men hit the ground
Chorus
Heavy crown on my head, but I'm drownin' in silence
Heart broke from her words, now the pain's my only alliance
Men don't cry, that's the lie that they feed us
Bottlin' demons, 'til the reaper come greet us
Seek help, bro, don't wait 'til you shatter
Mental wars in the dark, don't let 'em matter
She left with my peace, left me scarred in the night
But I'm learnin' to fight... yeah, I'm learnin' to fight
Verse 2 (Kendrick flow switch – deeper, storytelling)
Look, this for my brothers wearin' armor made of smoke
Therapy? "That's for weak ones," that's the joke that they wrote
Anxiety attacks in the whip, swervin' on the road
Depression got me ghost, family think I'm on go-mode
She said I changed, I said the world changed me first
Lost my dawg to the streets, lost myself in the verse
Now I'm talkin' to shadows, askin' God for the strength
'Cause hidin' this pain just extendin' the length
One call to a real one, or a hotline late night
Can flip the whole script, turn the dark into light
We carry the weight of the world on our shoulders
But iron sharpens iron—talk it out, get colder
No more silent sufferin', no more maskin' the hurt
Put the crown down sometimes, heal the man in the dirt
Bridge (sung melodic, emotional)
If you feel like the walls closin' in on your chest
Put the phone down, call somebody, you ain't gotta do it best
She broke you? Life broke you? Don't let it define the rest
You're more than the pain, king... more than the mess
Final Chorus (louder, with ad-libs)
Heavy crown on my head, but I'm risin' from silence!
Heart healed from the hurt, now my peace in alliance
We gon' cry if we need, break the lie that deceived us
Talk it out, seek that help, don't you dare let it beat us
She left with my peace, but I found it inside
Now I'm stronger, my brother... yeah, we learnin' to rise!
Outro
Yeah... heavy crown, but we still standin'.
To all my mans fightin' quiet battles—
You not alone. Talk. Heal. Rise.
