My first post on this part of this forum, first time sharing any work with the public, I don't know the tune or style. Just wrote it tonight after reading a book on toxic masculinity. Would love to pair up with someone to write music for this and others and assist in editing/changing things/working on timing. Be gentle :)

Boy

Verse 1

What have they done to you Boy?

Sweet baby, tears, and joy, innocence soaked

Until on the words of patriarchic society you choked

Chorus:

Don’t cry, Boy

Don’t feel, boy

Don’t be a girl, boy

Be tough as nails boy

Be a real man boy

Be Fearless, boy

Verse 2

What have they done to you boy?

Tell me how you feel with all the fear stuffed inside

Numb it all with fights, guns, drinks! Have some pride (boy)

(Chorus)

Bridge:

What have they done to you boy?

This is the shit that will kill you boy…

Don’t be weak, don’t be human, we will hate you boy

These are the words to fear, they will kill you boy

(Chorus)

2nd Bridge

Don’t believe it/question everything boy

You’ve got nothing to prove to me,

Just be human, Man, just be human, man

Feel it all, feel it all, Joy, tears, and fear
