Let me feng shui your shit
It tastes way better when you don't think you need it
Bet you ain't never felt 3 am feel like this like the, no
Like the moons collided diamonds baby can we score
There's something 'bout you
Baby we got to
Give it all that we got for the moment

Watch me make a thug cry, tonight
Cause that's how true love is supposed to be ain't it
When it feels so good it shakes all your belief, baby
I can make thug cry, tonight
I can make a thug cry, tonight
Let me turn your pain into a kiss, yeah
Baby I can handle it
Baby won't you sip on this here
Go on and relax, we can lay back
When the moons collided diamonds, baby can we soar
There's something 'bout you
Baby we got to
Give it all that we got for the moment
I can make a thug cry, tonight
Watch me make a thug cry, tonight

In the first verse of Tinashe's song Thug Cry, the artist is proposing to her partner to let her take charge in their relationship. She suggests speeding up the love that exists between them, and rearranging their lives for better. She says it feels better when her partner does not know they need their love to improve. It is a reference to the art of feng shui, an ancient Chinese practice meant to balance energies where one lives for optimal results. Tinashe boasts that the effect of her love is so powerful that it could make a thug cry. She further describes the euphoric feeling that comes with when the moon and diamonds meet and asks if they can achieve such perfection in their relationship.
In the chorus, Tinashe emphasizes the relationship's intensity stating that she is capable of making a thug cry due to the depth of their love. She challenges that this is the way a genuine, passionate relationship should be, where emotions can shake one's very belief system. She reiterates that she could make a thug cry that night as if crying was a manifestation of satisfaction and happiness.
In the second verse, Tinashe encourages her partner to let her turn his pain into something pleasurable, to trust her to take care of him. She asks him to relax and suggests that they should do nothing but lay back and experience the thrill of their union.
