Why is it important to be like open about your feelings
Because people could help you if you’re like scared or mad
Yeah and it like beats up your mental health if you keep things in
(Chorus)
Black boys it’s okay
To be vulnerable vulnerable
It’s okay it’s okay
To be vulnerable vulnerable
I feel strong when I’m vulnerable
I belong when I’m vulnerable
Yeah
I feel good to be vulnerable
Keep it a hundred with you
Yeah
Yeah
It’s okay to feel
It’s okay to love - love
It’s okay to cry
And to need a hug - yeah
Don’t keep it bottled up
I’m a sensitive guy - let’s go
And I feel how I feel it’s alright
I be in my feelings
I be in my feelings
I be in my feelings
My feelings
I be in my feelings
I be in my feelings
My feelings
I be in my feelings
I be in my feelings
My feelings
I be in my feelings
I be in my feelings
Chorus
Boys are told the lie that
We can’t cry
That we need to man up
No fright
It’s not right
Our trauma is inherited
Go tell whoever told you that to
See a therapist
I got a therapist and he’s all ears
Like a art teacher
He can help me draw my tears
I can cry and tell him all my fears
And it helps me heal
And I feel how I feel it’s alright
I be in my feelings
I be in my feelings
I be in my feelings
My feelings
I be in my feelings
I be in my feelings
My feelings
I be in my feelings
I be in my feelings
My feelings
I be in my feelings
I be in my feelings
Chorus
I feel strong when I’m vulnerable
I belong when I’m vulnerable
Yeah
I feel good to be vulnerable
Keep it a hundred with you
Yeah
I be in my feelings
I be in my feelings
