Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know its hard when them nigts grow cold, stressed out, need somebody to hold you,
You can cry on my shoulder
Heart ache only gunna bring us closer
Its a war outside ill be your soldier
You can cry on my shoulder
When the world start to turn you away,
I got a place & you welcome to stay
Dont be ashamed theres nothing wrong with yu cryin,
Dont worry bout it everythang will be fine
You can cry on my shoulder.
13 years old & the daddy was fuckin her
Only time she feel love when somebody was fuckin her
And now im stuck with her
Gotta build trust with her
Somebody call the governer or maybe the coroner
She out there on the ave sellin ass on the corner
She need to go to church n get the lord in the corner
She said he ignore her,
He never respond
I said you gotta communicate & that creates a bond
I keep open arms baby,
You're never alone
I know its hard out here,
By yourself on your own
Take your time babygirl dont you rush to be grown
As long as im around you got a place called home
You can cry on my shoulder
I know its hard when them nigts grow cold, stressed out, need somebody to hold you,
You can cry on my shoulder
Heart ache only gunna bring us closer
Its a war outside ill be your soldier
You can cry on my shoulder
When the world start to turn you away,
I got a place & you welcome to stay
You can cry on my shoulder
Dont be ashamed theres nothing wrong with yu cryin,
Dont worry bout it everythang will be fine
You can cry on my shoulder.
I know the world can be a hard place to live in,
Especially with the racism & the killins,
Drug dealins
And corrupt polliticts
That reality pill, its hard to swallow it
Ive acknowledged this
Harder on the good women
Cuhs half the niggas gay the others in prison
And the very few good ones dog you out
And the others with a white bitch ballin out
It comes together na
I see why you so pissed off
The only time you get attention when ya panties off
But you's a blessin bae
I need you to understand
God created you as a gift to a man
So you could cry on my shoulder,
I know its hard when them nigts grow cold, stressed out, need somebody to hold you,
You can cry on my shoulder
Heart ache only gunna bring us closer
Its a war outside ill be your soldier
You can cry on my shoulder
When the world start to turn you away,
I got a place & you welcome to stay
You can cry on my shoulder
Dont be ashamed theres nothing wrong with yu cryin,
Dont worry bout it everythang will be fine
You can cry on my shoulder.
I was rasied in a single parent house
See my momma was my daddy and the needle of the family
I know about tradgety and heartache I promise
Niggas shootin at eachother,
Nothin new im bein honest
A funeral like every week
Familiar with the service
Too familiar with the deservin?
Somebody call a surgeon
I got a whole in my heart,
I hope im livin for a purpose
You hear about the pain but im seein it in person
I need some reassurament
I feel like we experiments
Put us on Section 8 like a form of endurenment
We have to build pyramids,
With unity & trust
Penatrate an oppurtinty the rest is up to us.
You could cry on my shoulder,
I know its hard when them nigts grow cold, stressed out, need somebody to hold you,
You can cry on my shoulder
Heart ache only gunna bring us closer
Its a war outside ill be your soldier
You can cry on my shoulder
When the world start to turn you away,
I got a place & you welcome to stay
You can cry on my shoulder
Dont be ashamed theres nothing wrong with yu cryin,
Dont worry bout it everythang will be fine
You can cry on my shoulder.
In Dolla's song "Cry On My Shoulder," he acknowledges the hardships that people face such as heartache, stress and feeling alone. The chorus emphasizes the importance of having someone to cry on, someone to hold when the nights are cold, and he offers himself as that person, even if the world starts to turn the person away. The song takes a turn when the verse addresses a young girl who has been sexually abused by her father and has turned to prostitution as her only source of love. Dolla offers her a listening ear, open arms, and trust to build upon. He encourages her to communicate, to take her time, and not rush to be grown. In the third verse, Dolla voices his observations on society, stressing the issues of racism, corruption, and drug dealings, which make the world a hard place to live in. He acknowledges the difficulties that women face with half of the men being gay or in prison and the rest either with a white woman or treating good women badly. He sees the blessing in the girl who has been abused, created by God as a gift to a man. In the final verse, Dolla portrays his own struggles with his upbringing in a single-parent household and the impact of tragedy on himself and his community. He strives for unity, trust, and opportunity and offers himself as a mentor for anyone who needs a space to cry on his shoulder.
