Sometimes Black men will cry
Sometimes what is on my mind
Is how racism is alive
And it makes me really wanna die
Sometimes, I can hate the mirror but I always love myself
Sometimes the ones who don’t support me
Can’t even support themselves
But I try

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes

Sometimes I don’t wanna be here
Sometimes I don’t wanna be there
Sometimes life is too much
Sometimes I really don’t care
Sometimes I don’t wanna be noticed
Sometimes I don’t wanna be seen
Sometimes I don’t wanna be woke
Sometimes I forget how to dream
Still I rise

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes

Sometimes I’m really too humble
But too proud to ask for help
Sometimes I can do for everyone
What I can’t do for myself
Sometimes, I don’t wanna be honest
I don’t wanna be bothered
Sometimes, I can be a good neighbor
I think I’m a bad father
Sometimes, I don’t want your opinion
I don’t need your advice
Sometimes, I will say that I’m wrong
Just so you can feel right
Sometimes, a mistake can become
The best decision you make
And when you go out on a limb for them
To save yourself, you gotta amputate
Sometimes

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes

Sometimes I don’t want to do
The things that I want to do
So everybody else won’t know
What I want to do, sometimes they
Bring you down, cause they look up to you
Sometimes the things I want the most
I’m least prepared to have
Sometimes when I wing it like an angel
I believe that God did not have that plan
In mind, still I pray

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes

Sometimes, I feel so alone, when I’m with someone else
Sometimes, I feel my best, when I’m all by myself
Sometimes I need some time
But time doesn’t heal all wounds
Sometimes we gotta lie
So we can know what’s true
Am I right? Well

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes
