POSKOTA.CO.ID – Jay-Z adalah pengisah kehidupan dan bukan hanya sekadar rapper. Salah satu karya emosionalnya yang mencuri perhatian adalah lagu “Song Cry” yang dirilis pada tahun 2001 lewat album The Blueprint.
Lagu ini bukan hanya soal rima dan irama, tapi juga tentang luka, cinta yang retak, dan seorang pria yang memilih membiarkan musik menangis untuknya.
Dalam “Song Cry”, Jay-Z mengungkapkan penyesalan dan sakit hati akibat kehilangan cinta. Ia tahu dirinya berbuat salah, namun gengsi dan harga diri menghalanginya untuk menangis secara langsung.
Sebagai gantinya, ia menuangkan semua perasaannya ke dalam lagu. “I can’t see ‘em comin’ down my eyes, so I gotta make the song cry” menjadi penggalan lirik yang paling kuat menggambarkan pertarungan batin tersebut.

Good dude, I know you love me like cooked food
Even though a nigga gotta move like a crook move
We was together on the block since free lunch
We shoulda been together havin' Four Seasons brunch
We used to use umbrellas to face the bad weather
So now we travel first class to change the forecast
Never in bunches, just me and you
I loved your point of view 'cause you held no punches
Still I left you for months on end
It's been months since I checked back in
We're somewhere in a small town, somewhere lockin' a mall down
Woodgrain, four and change, Armor All'd down
I can understand why you want a divorce now
Though I can't let you know it, pride won't let me show it
Pretend to be heroic, that's just one to grow with
But deep inside a nigga so sick

I can't see 'em comin' down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see 'em comin' down my eyes
So I gotta let the song cry, uh
I can't see it comin' down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see it comin' down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
On repeat, the CD of Big's "Me and My Bitch"
Watchin' Bonnie and Clyde, pretendin' to be that shit
Empty gun in your hand sayin', "Let me see that clip"
Shoppin' sprees, pull out your Visa quick
A nigga had very bad credit, you helped me lease that whip
You helped me get the keys to that V dot 6
We was so happy poor, but when we got rich
That's when our signals got crossed, and we got flipped
Rather mine, I don't know what made me leave that shit
Made me speed that quick, let me see, that's it
It was the cheese, helped them bitches get amnesia quick
I used to cut up they buddies, now they sayin' they love me
Used to tell they friends I was ugly and wouldn't touch me
Then I showed up in that dubbed-out buggy
And then they got fuzzy and they don't remember that
And I don't remember you

But I gotta make the song cry
I can't see it comin' down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
