Reason Why I Cry Lyrics by Angela Brown (R&B)

2023

You don’t know my pain, all that I’ve been through
Caught up in the game, no way out, it’s true
Shot callers, ballers, hustlers on the block
No one there to guide me, got no key to the lock

I was poor, had nothing, no path to follow
In the heart of the ghetto, you might just get swallowed
Messed up in the streets, three strikes on my slate
But I cry in the darkness, my struggles I can’t negate

You don’t know my pain, or the reason I cry
Success within my reach, but the days go by
It hurts to bear the weight, without sharing my strife
‘cause I’m on my own, yearning for a bеtter life

You don’t know my pain, or the rеason I cry
Success within my reach, but the days go by
It hurts to bear the weight, without sharing my strife
‘cause I’m on my own, yearning for a better life

I couldn’t have made it without you by my side
No one can go it alone, together we ride
Through the highs and lows, the battles we’ve fought
You’ve been there for me, the support I sought

Lost my brother in ‘98, the pain cut so deep
No substitute for him, my soul still weeps
College was my refuge, a chance to renew
Got that degree, I had to show ‘em how I do

You don’t know my pain, or the reason I cry
Success within my reach, but the days go by
It hurts to bear the weight, without sharing my strife
‘cause I’m on my own, yearning for a better life

You don’t know my pain, or the reason I cry
Success within my reach, but the days go by
It hurts to bear the weight, without sharing my strife
‘cause I’m on my own, yearning for a better life

My suffering wasn’t enough, but it taught me to fight
To believe in myself, even in the darkest night
I could’ve given up, but I held onto my dream
Through thick and thin, gotta ride with the team

Teacher, writer, poet, and artist, dreams intertwined
College equipped me with skills, a new perspective I find
Comfortable in my own skin, proud of who I’ve become
My pain a reminder, this concrete jungle I’ve overcome

You don’t know my pain, or the reason I cry
Success within my reach, but the days go by
It hurts to bear the weight, without sharing my strife
‘cause I’m on my own, yearning for a better life

You don’t know my pain, or the reason I cry
Success within my reach, but the days go by
It hurts to bear the weight, without sharing my strife
‘cause I’m on my own, yearning for a better life
