Lyrics: Jordan Bangoji
Music: Jordan Bangoji
Where did my tears go if you ask me
Me sef I dunno
The things I go through not many people go fit to handle
Sometimes I want to scream like the George of the jungle
But I gotta keep calm
Shebi I be big man
Thick skin but shey you know say I be human being
And if I must be candid
Things aren’t always as they seem no
I’m a man I know (I'm a man I know)
But I’m sick of this I need an antidote (I need an antidote)
When I reminisce i see the way it goes (I see the way it goes)
I need some peace to keep my head afloat oh oh (to keep my head afloat)
I’m doing the best I can
Can’t you see there’s dirt on my hands
so much stress my man
At times it feels like hell I swear
But Imma stand
(stand the test of fire)
I’ll always come through oh
(come through just like Macgyver)
When I feel like loosing control
I just cannot let the tears show
Cause a man supposed to stay macho
Stay macho oh
Where did my tears go if you ask me
Me sef I dunno
The things I go through not many people go fit to handle
Sometimes I want to scream like the George of the jungle
But I gotta keep calm
Shebi I be big man
Where did my tears go if you ask me (oh where did my tears go)
Me sef I dunno
The things I go through not many people go fit to handle (not many people)
Sometimes I want to scream like the George of the jungle
But I gotta keep calm
Shebi I be big man (shebi I be big man)
I’m no terminator no
I need a shoulder to lean onto
A smile is my makeup though
Knees weak but I stay strong
Cause it doesn’t really matter
Nobody gives a shit about ya
Only what you bring to the table yeah
And that’s nature so brace up
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Where did my tears go if you ask me
Me sef I dunno
The things I go through not many people go fit to handle
Sometimes I want to scream like the George of the jungle
But I gotta keep calm
Shebi I be big man
Where did my tears go if you ask me (oh where did my tears go)
Me sef I dunno
The things I go through not many people go fit to handle (not many people)
Sometimes I want to scream like the George of the jungle (I wanna scream)
But I gotta keep calm
Shebi I be big man
Are my tears in the crooked corners of a confession?
Are they hidden behind a lesson or in between the best things that could ever happen to me?
Did they get lost in the fog of my future or the pain of my past, maybe the first and last times I’d ever do something beautiful,
You were the tell tale sign when I was broken
You were the words my heart left unspoken,
I likened you to shame, each drop a secret to keep contained,
But tears, these lonely moments will never be the same without you.
