Hook: Through all the sunshine and the rain, the pleasure and pain
Man I done gone through some thangs only my tears can explain
But every day I maintain, hope I'm not living in vain
Cuz I done witnessed some thangs only my tears can explain
Through all the stress and the strain, the losses and gains
Man I done lived through some thangs only my tears can explain
This life is complicated… it ain't simple and plain so
These are the thangs only my tears can explain

2006… that's when I lost my nigga Maine, and I'm sitting thinking "God damn it here we go again"
Been through this before, started off with my moms
93' I started to see how this life drop bombs
But stayed calm, I was a kid, guess I had no other choice
Couldn't describe how I felt it's like I had no voice
Just a victim of the world, so far don't know how I made it
Just the hand I was dealt so I said "fuck it, I'll play it"
Not the best chance or the best hand, but na I ain't folding
I gave the dice back to life and said "Yea I'm still rolling"
It's No control whenever you dealing with destiny or fate
The only option is an approach of "let's just see and wait"
The hate and the love most times will usually balance out
It takes experience to know just what I'm talking about
It's crazy no doubt, but somehow survived through the years
And describe everyday through my tears…ONLY MY TEARS CAN EXPLAIN

Hook

All cried out, without a hide out, from all the tragedy I'm facing
My heart's racing, my blood pressure's up I'm pacing
No medication now I'm tasting liquor without chasing
In hopes of dealing with the results of all this devastation
There's no answer for this cancer in my generation
Born with a life sentence, no second chances fuck probation
The future keeps me guessing all the time I'm stressing
No such thing as smart questions when you live through these lessons
Can't even blame me for wanting to leave
When I know the next breath that I breathe ain't even really guaranteed
My whole existence is a tease, my mindset is suicidal
With every day I'm closer to death, you see it in my vitals
I know the devil's my rival, but can't let him have the title
Even though right now he winning and I'm about to go psycho
Gotta break the cycle, cuz this shit here is wrecking my brain
At times I feel insane ONLY MY TEARS CAN EXPLAIN

Hook

So now I'm sitting here with lungs full of nicotine, neck under a guillotine
Someone out there know what I mean, I ain't even gotta scream
And if I do, tell me who, really go run and rescue me from the pain before the damage is done
I got a liver full of alcohol, busted lips from mouthing off
Just to prove that I ain't soft, really ain't no point at all
What's the purpose when you worthless, broken homes breeding babies
Better off birthless, I ain't even grazed the surface
So hard to accept defeat when you know you trying
But yet so easy to go to sleep when you know you dying
The funny thing is that in both cases somebody crying
And if you listening saying that ain't you, you probably lying
So I ain't buying or relying on the speech of the man
Who ain't never buried his face in his hands, understand that
It's really never been a such thing as pride
Cuz if it is, it'll show in your eyes, ONLY MY TEARS CAN EXPLAIN
