about

Following the smash hit single and EP closer of "Soliloquy: The Mixtape", the dynamic duo DIVAJ & RØ are back again with another joint collaboration! #BOYSCANCRY

This track features the familiar witty, thought provoking, and emotionally charged rhymes that DIVAJ continues to showcase. Accompanied by powerful vocals and guitar accompaniment from RØ, this record Boys Can Cry (reference to the 1999 film "Boys Don't Cry" starring Hilary Swank) is sure to leave an impact on all who listen! Released exclusively on Bandcamp.

"Dear Onika, you said you would come back....Track star, rap star, I'll run my mouth for you" - DIVAJ; the perfect prelude to the Queen of Rap's return with her upcoming single "Do We Have A Problem?" featuring Lil Baby, expected February 4!

"This record is so beautiful. Ro came to me with it and the concept and I was hooked. Literally. She has such a rich voice and a kinship with music and art that I admire. We have always collaborated so well and this song is no exception. I knew it was important for so many reasons. My hope is that it will spark conversation around masculinity and emotion and the humanness of the two that forever connected and should be acknowledged, respected, and expressed through safety and grace. We had the pleasure of debuting it live when I opened for Floodwater Angel at First Avenue & 7th Street Entry!" - Jaye

"The record is uplifting, genuine, and heartfelt." - Ro

lyrics

(Miss Ro)

(It’s Divaj)

Who saw this coming?

...

Hey!

Tell me if you wanna do this

Call me by your name boy,

What the deal is?

I could tell that you was hiding,

In ya feelings

Was it me you’re seeking out,

How you feeling?

Uh

What kinda games you play?

Would you dare tell me the truth,

If it’s real or fake

Either way it goes, your ghost

I know feel the same,

Hit the swerve into my lane

Like I ain’t pave the way.

Uh,

You know the truth

You don’t seem to want that,

It hurts to lose,

Especially when they flaunt that

All boys aren’t blue,

Especially when they flaunt that,

Dear Onika,

You said you would come back.

I know it gets hard

When they start to come for ya

It’s when you Go Hard

That they start to come for ya

So when we go hard

I’ll be here to comfort ya

Track star, rap star,

I’ll run my mouth for ya

Please be gentle, please be kind,

Bring yourself, your peace of mind

If tears come from your eyes...

Find a love you can confide,

Surf together through the tide

(So come on)

Cast your fears aside...

(Because)

Boys Can Cry

(Ohhhh)

Boys Can Cry

Yo,

Verse two,

And you know what we came to do;

Back to back hits

As I spit the truth,

Baby in the booth,

Win Again on loop,

Bitch we don’t lose,

Watering myself,

Like I took a cruise

Every dude before,

Was a lesson or score,

New man gotta be Jacked

Melanan like Hue

And ayeeeeee

Bitch rolling when they came thru,

Top of the class, good brain too

Flip that half back just to stay in school

Flip the tassel back end of May or June

Few shots in I’m wilding and styling

Take my mom on trip to an island

Brand new Jeep, you can check the mileage

Hit n Run up a check,

No violence

(Uh)

So when we run it,

Track team

Popping up and popping off,

Acne

Got you high and then you lied

To me

All those tears come from your eyes,

That I seen

Baby boy why you crying

(Baby boy why you crying)

Visine

(Say what you mean, mean what you say)

We're gunna be okay

(Because)

Boys Can Cry

(Ohhhh)

(Don't have to dry your eyes)

(You know that Boys Can Cry)

(Kyuh)

Boys Can Cry

(Ohhhh)

Boys Can Cry
