ettrick shepherd - so they say lyrics

[verse 1]
so they say that men have to be strong
but i’m weak as f-ck
they say that men are silent but i speak too much
they say men never cry, that’s a lie cos nothing gets more exercise than my tear ducts
so they say that men can’t feel love
and if they do then they have to keep it sealed shut
but me – i’m been in love
not sure if it was real love
but it was deep enough
i’m hurting – is anybody actually there?
not just anyone, someone who actually cares
cos when a tragedy tears then i just need a hug
but i’m frightened people will think
i’m a p-ssy for speaking up
so they say that men don’t talk about feelings
and all they can do is just walk around grieving
that’s what we do, we be taping it shut
but i don’t and i reckon i’m courageous as f-ck
my theory is it’s not laced in our blood
it’s media – the way that they’re portraying the stuff
it’s a stereotype i don’t relate with enough
and it’s that exact thought that’s made me erupt

[hook]
i hope that you don’t get the wrong idea
i soldier on but i don’t belong right here
i hope that you don’t get the wrong idea
i soldier on but i don’t belong right here
i hope that you don’t get the wrong idea
i soldier on but i don’t belong right here
i hope that you don’t get the wrong idea
i soldier on but i don’t belong right here

[verse 2]
so they say that most teens smoke weed
and od but i’m dope free
probably the one and only
i’m in my room writing instead of rollin’ with the homies
so they say there are fun times to be had as adolescents
never heard sh-t about battling depression
never heard sh-t about dark days and heartbreak
guess i only heard about a fraction of the message
so they say that most teenagers date around
but i knew one girl and was an addict for her presence
it’s the time of my life and that’s actually the engine
of the sadness and aggression that i’m gradually expressin’
cos what if this is the peak?
i know i may be ranting but listen to me
what if i’m just destined to never fit in
life has f-cked up, i’m admittin’ defeat

[verse 3]
so they say that rappers get the b-tches
and don’t give anybody else recognition
take personal shots, forever dissin’
i guess that means i ain’t the definition
but in a way it’s a blessing
cos if you conform don’t expect a ribbon
cl-ss dismissed, that’s the lesson
it’s good to stand out, we ain’t meant to fit in

[outro]
so i wipe off my tears
cos i feel really strong right here
so i wipe off my tears
cos i feel really strong right here
so i wipe off my tears
cos i feel really strong right here
so i wipe off my tears
cos i feel really strong right here
