“Cement Tears”

🎵 Hook (vocal cracks, haunting melody)

I cried in stone, you ain’t hear the break (nah)
Tears hit the floor like they come with weight (heavy)
Used to feel too much, now I feel too late
Now my tears set slow like they mixed with fate

Cement tears — I don’t even wipe ‘em (nope)
Let ‘em dry in the dark where they liken
I be numb with a smirk I don’t trust
'Cause every real cry turned the love to dust


---

[Verse 1 – Vulnerable, no filter]

I ain’t cry when she left — I froze
Lit a blunt for the soul that I sold

I gave too much for what I got back
Now I bottle pain with the cap half-cracked

They don’t see what it take to be still
To smile while your own wounds try to heal

I bled in ways they’ll never quote
Put tape on a heart that forgot how to float

Cement tears — I leak in slow motion
Still dry when I drown in emotion

🔊 Ad-Libs – Verse 1:
“Still here.” / “Froze.” / “Facts.” / “Feel me?”

🎵 Hook (repeat, breathier delivery)

I cried in stone, you ain’t hear the break
Tears hit the floor like they come with weight
Used to feel too much, now I feel too late
Now my tears set slow like they mixed with fate

Cement tears — I don’t even wipe ‘em
Let ‘em dry in the dark where they liken
I be numb with a smirk I don’t trust
'Cause every real cry turned the love to dust

[Verse 2 – Street poet mode, cold honesty]

I don’t vent — I just light and drift
Speak to the smoke like it’s my gift

I ain’t soft — just stuck in place
Cemented in grief with a still face

I ain’t forget — I just stopped reacting
They only notice pain when it come dramatic

I move quiet, but I cry loud inside
Where the cement tears kiss ego and pride

You ever sob so long the hurt dry up?
That’s me — tears heavy like a back full of luck


---

🔊 Ad-Libs – Verse 2:
“Stone soul.” / “Hold that.” / “Dried up.” / “Still love.”

🎧 Outro – slow fade, vocal echo

(Spoken)
It’s not that I don’t feel no more…
It’s just everything I felt hardened.
