The lyrics to “Make Them Cry” by Drake

0:01Yeah

0:04Ice

0:09Yeah

0:10♪

0:14I'm an only child, no one could've made another

0:17I have to father my mother and treat my son's grandfather like my older brother

0:22The skies are grey in Toronto, they not a golden color

0:24I'm feeling like BTS 'cause it took the whole career for me to be so discovered

0:29I know for sure that my parents, they look at me and see an overcomer

0:34I'm looking back at them and these days, I see an older couple

0:38I see my only uncle lookin' like that shit that I ain't ownin' up to

0:42And if he said the way he really felt, I'd probably see his side because I'm old enough to

0:46I'm looking at all my niggas, they say, "Bro, we love you"

0:49But all my words really the shit that they be goin' up to

0:52Feel like 40 won't even listen to my words when he knows I'm in a load of trouble

0:56I'm in the cut just loadin' rebuttals

0:58And I got a bunch of hits on my hand, see the swollen knuckles?

1:01I try to tell him it's working out for me now, he say, "Then show your muscles

1:05Prove to me that you're still as strong when it's only us two

1:08They know you thorough with bread, but there's some shit you gotta pony up to"

1:11Basically he's sayin' I got growin' up to do, I gotta dig deep

1:16I really hate those two words, they never bring peace

1:18I'm at the Bulgari in Turkey with my bitch and we ain't come here for no big teeth, nah

1:23I came here to turn a new leaf and maybe finally get some sleep

1:27But all I can think about is the mountain to climb and the conversations surrounding my music like they're Twin Peak

1:33With Dot back in 2024 was a big piece

1:37So it's like, this shit is me, but it isn't me

1:40Y'all keep on asking me what it did to me, that's what it did to me

1:45When I dig deep, they say dig deeper

1:48Tell us how it felt to meet the grim reaper

1:50This album better have some big features

1:53Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm all alone for my mental

1:57And I've been tryna end so many people, I almost forgot the intro

2:01Been so sure of my words that I haven't used a pencil

2:04Been so paranoid that nothing in this world seems coincidental

2:09Yeah

2:11Our brother sold his chain the other day and said that someone snatched it

2:14I'm still processing that shit, it got me so distracted

2:17I think he's so desperate and our life is goin' fantastic

2:20He don't have the heart to come and tell us he pawned it for cash

2:23Even his baby mama been sayin' he been movin' backwards

2:26To me, he sold the only thing that has ever mattered

2:29I could never forgive such a nefarious action

2:32I'm still healin' my own traumas, I've barely adapted

2:35This new toxic shit I'm dropping is gon' spin 'til I'm radioactive, yeah

2:41I really make the roughest days in life look very relaxing

2:44I don't do psychedelics because I'm too scared of unpacking

2:47Sometimes I only see myself in my therapist glasses

2:50But I'm not taking it serious 'cause she's very attractive

2:53I know it's a heavy-ass decision to bury the hatchet

2:56It'll take more than six pallbearers to carry that casket

2:59I put the "man" in "manipulation" when I pay your rent and that is an obligation to our attachment

3:05Then I sprinkle in a little Mercedes and fashion

3:07If that's not enough for you, well, baby, go back then

3:11You fuckin' dude at the spot that I got for you, Jesus

3:14You gave him reason to speak on my name, that's some weak shit

3:17They textin' proof to my phone and my heart is in pieces

3:20You keepin' your options open, for real, that's some me shit

3:23Sis, you gotta be kiddin' like nephews and nieces

3:26I keep on rescuin' leeches, I can't believe it, I really can't believe it

3:30I can't believe it, yeah

3:31Too many wire transfers bound to have a good girl's morals tangled

3:35The rent-free penthouse and the Van Cleef floral bangles

3:38And plenty more examples that had you goin' Dora the Explorer outside

3:42While I turned a blind eye 'cause it's more than painful, yeah

3:47I think I also put the "man" in "manifestation"

3:50Either I'm too numb to this shit or the city is changin'

3:53I bump into people and they act like we literally strangers

3:56Random intrusive thought, but what happened to Taz's Angels?

3:59So many people that's not around from that generation

4:02Niggas wanna talk about a battle, I'm battlin' patience

4:05Nigga, I battle frustration

4:06I'm 'bout to turn forty, dog, I'm battlin' agin'

4:10I'm battlin' the fact that the album ain't even drop and already they asses complainin'

4:14Fuck it, I'll battle the label

4:15Fuck it, I'll battle the majors, I'll battle the stations 'til my ass is back in rotation

4:20Shout out to the real fans that knew what I had in the basement

4:23Shout out to the fake fans, I thought we had an arrangement

4:26How many times have you tried to tell me I had a replacement?

4:29How many times are you 'bout to ask if I had a vacation?

4:32How many artists I've had to witness do bad imitations?

4:35Niggas want me all bent out of shape, rattled, and shaken

4:38My dad got cancer right now, we battlin' stages

4:41Trust me when I say there's plenty things that I'd rather be facin'

4:46For real

4:47And this time, ask me to dig deeper, I'll gladly explain it

4:52Yeah

4:55Ice
