Uh Hmm Hmm Uh ⸻ [Verse 1] Same song, but in a different day I’m still in a state of disarray I hope the fam okay I think I can cope, but who am I to say? Sometimes, I feel like giving up I know the spirit with me when I’m feeling stuck And it still sucks, but it could be worse My cousin with me, and we sharing clothes, we sharing shirts But I had a roof over my head, I guess it works I hope my music could reach someone and they get reimbursed The doctor got me on this medicine Still feel depression settling Not tryna meet Thomas Jefferson The next life better, I’ll get it in You should see me I was riding ‘round my city on E It was freezing, I was burning up like seventy-three I was hot, now it’s heating up, I think I’m starting to see It’s working out for me [Chorus] Don’t cry for me, I’ma make it through the night No lie, I don’t wanna say goodbye Sometimes, you gotta look the devil in the eye Don’t worry, baby, I’ll be alright Don’t cry for me, I’ma make it through the night No lie, I don’t wanna say goodbye Sometimes, you gotta look the devil in the eye Don’t worry, baby, I’ll be alright ⸻ [Verse 2] Late nights, starin’ at the ceiling fan Tryna understand the bigger plan Life hit harder than a body slam But I’m holdin’ on tight, tryna give a damn Mama told me storms don’t last forever But every raindrop feelin’ heavy as a feather Tryna piece my heart back together Even when the world cold, I gotta move clever Friends call, but they never really ask how I’m feelin’ I laugh it off just to hide what I’m dealin’ I know God watchin’, steady revealin’ A purpose that’s deeper than the wounds I’m healin’ [Chorus] Don’t cry for me, I’ma make it through the night No lie, I don’t wanna say goodbye Sometimes, you gotta look the devil in the eye Don’t worry, baby, I’ll be alright Don’t cry for me, I’ma make it through the night No lie, I don’t wanna say goodbye Sometimes, you gotta look the devil in the eye Don’t worry, baby, I’ll be alright ⸻ [Verse 3] Old bills stackin’ on the dresser Pressure got me foldin’ like a handwritten letter But I’m built strong, I can handle any weather Even when I slip back, I’m only gettin’ better I remember nights with no heat, still breathin’ Heart broke twice in a row, still grievin’ Thought about quittin’, but I’m still believin’ Every closed door got a reason for leavin’ Now I’m tryna grow into the man I’m supposed to be Hopin’ that my kids never feel what molded me Workin’ on peace, lettin’ go appropriately Tryna write a future where I’m livin’ openly [Chorus] Don’t cry for me, I’ma make it through the night No lie, I don’t wanna say goodbye Sometimes, you gotta look the devil in the eye Don’t worry, baby, I’ll be alright Don’t cry for me, I’ma make it through the night No lie, I don’t wanna say goodbye Sometimes, you gotta look the devil in the eye Don’t worry, baby, I’ll be alright ⸻ [Verse 4] Dark days had me walkin’ with my head low Feelin’ like a shadow that nobody ever get to know Life hit quick like a left blow But I rise up slow, step-by-step though Got dreams bigger than the pain I carry Tryna plant seeds where the ground get scary Hope my wins one day make my people merry Hope my past don’t haunt the person I marry Still, I’m movin’ with a pocket full of hope Even when I’m standin’ right at the end of my rope Life ain’t easy, but I learned how to cope Turned all my nightmares to somethin’ I can quote [Chorus] Don’t cry for me, I’ma make it through the night No lie, I don’t wanna say goodbye Sometimes, you gotta look the devil in the eye Don’t worry, baby, I’ll be alright Don’t cry for me, I’ma make it through the night No lie, I don’t wanna say goodbye Sometimes, you gotta look the devil in the eye Don’t worry, baby, I’ll be alright ⸻ [Bridge] I been walkin’ through the fire with my soul intact Every loss, every tear put me right on track If I fall, best believe I’ma bounce right back God got me — yeah, I know that’s fact And when the night feel long and the world feel cold I’ma dig deep down in the faith I hold I done bent, I done broke, but I never fold This pain made a diamond outta battered gold
