Can't Let My Guard Down Lyrics

As a man

When it come to my feelings

I always feel like I'm supposed to have this warriors mentality

I'm never posed to let shit get to me

Bother me or phase me

So I guess I just bottle everything up

I try to open up

Can't let my guard down

Been blocking so long

That shit is hard now

I bottle emotions

Feel weak if I show em

At times I may slip

Try my hardest to hold em

I try to open up

Can't let my guard down

Been blocking so long

That shit is hard now

I bottle emotions

Feel weak if I show em

At times I may slip

Try my hardest to hold em

Remember shawty said I'm cute but too short to be dating

Her loss but that surely aided in defenses created

That was after the fact

I was broken in fact

It's like a virus on my heart corrupt feelings I'm hacked

Something simple as that

Would get me to crack

Protection of how I'm feeling

That was something I lack

Realized my software was too soft and I wanted to change it

I built a barrier for hardware whenever they bring it

I'm well protected that go for any feelings I'm feeling

Anger sadness grief fear got easy concealing

There was some times when I cried Hate to admit it yet

I still wipe the tears from my eyes

There was some times I let them linger to the point that they dried

Cause I'm a man full of pride

That's some shit that I usually hide

Sometimes when hiding my pain thats me screaming for love

Under this tough guy act I be needing a hug

K

I try to open up

Can't let my guard down

Been blocking so long

That shit is hard now

I bottle emotions

Feel weak if I show em

At times I may slip

Try my hardest to hold em

I try to open up

Can't let my guard down

Been blocking so long

That shit is hard now

I bottle emotions

Feel weak if I show em

At times I may slip

Try my hardest to hold em

Supposed to be a stiff nigga

We taught to show no bitch in us Even when it's hard to deal we stay dealing with all this shit in us

Battered and bruised

Got a thug it out attitude

Some problems are huge

It don't matter the magnitude

What you know bout living your life And showing that you are tough

Giving advice to who need it

Inside shit fucking you up

I lost my job but got up early pretending to go to work

I found another

Couldn't tell you how much a nigga was hurt

Providing really bringing that pressure

On bad terms and I did not need you giving me lectures

And whenever my mother would yell at me

I be fighting back my tears

Weak emotions I was boxing that's that shit I had to clear as a kid

At times I hate when I be feeling so ruined

And wish I didn't have emotions but those make us all human

Not emotionally detached really the complete opposite

Got in my feelings quick so my heart adjusted by stopping it

Yeah

I try to open up

Can't let my guard down

That was after the fact

I was broken in fact

I try to open up

Can't let my guard down

That was after the fact

I was broken in fact
