Can't Say Nun
Silent Struggles: Unspoken Emotions in Mike Bravo's 'Can't Say Nun'
Lyrics
No I can't say nun, bout how I feel dawg
The speaker cannot express anything about his feelings.
Cuz if I say sum, then I ain't real enough
Expressing emotions might compromise the perception of authenticity.
It's just these women, they want a real nigga
Women desire a genuine man, but one must withhold emotions to be considered real.
But you can't say nun or keep it real nigga
Being real involves not revealing emotions or being straightforward.
No I can't say nun, bout how I feel dawg
The speaker reiterates an inability to disclose his feelings.
Cuz if I say sum, then I ain't real enough
Fear that expressing something would diminish his authenticity.
It's just these women, they want a real nigga
Highlighting the desire for authenticity in men sought by women.
But you can't say nun or keep it real nigga
Reaffirming the need to remain reserved to be considered real.
How the fuck you think you really know a man
Raising questions about how well one can truly know another person.
How the fuck you think you really understand babe
Questioning the depth of understanding in a romantic relationship.
Real men they ain't playin' bout the bands
Real men prioritize financial matters seriously.
Real men they just doin' what they can babe
Real men do what they can, emphasizing practical actions over words.
You gon think what you really wanna think
People form their own opinions despite the truth.
You gon see what you really wanna see
Perception is subjective, and reality may not align with appearances.
It ain't real less it's really what it seems
Authenticity lies in things genuinely being what they appear to be.
Oohh baby, right now you're hurting me up
Expressing emotional pain caused by the current situation.
Things you're saying lately, they just burning me up
Recent words or actions are deeply affecting the speaker.
Make a nigga feel like you ain't wanted my love
Feeling unappreciated and unloved, possibly due to misunderstandings.
Things you tell your friends like I be doing too much
Concerns about misinformation or misinterpretations shared with friends.
Don't I protect you, don't I care for you
Highlighting the speaker's protective and caring actions.
Do the things you like and be there for you
List of supportive actions and questioning their significance.
Does that mean nothin, or is that somethin
Questioning if the speaker's efforts hold value or are dismissed.
Have you realized that I mean nothing to you, to you
Realizing that the speaker means nothing to the person addressed.
Have you realized that I mean nothing to you
Reiteration of the realization that the speaker is insignificant to the person.
No I can't say nun, bout how I feel dawg
Repeating the theme of the speaker's inability to express feelings.
Cuz if I say sum, then I ain't real enough
Reiterating the fear of being perceived as less authentic if emotions are expressed.
It's just these women, they want a real nigga
Emphasizing the desire for authenticity in men as sought by women.
But you can't say nun or keep it real nigga
Stressing the need to withhold emotions to maintain authenticity.
No I can't say nun, bout how I feel dawg
Reiterating the theme of being unable to express personal feelings.
Cuz if I say sum, then I ain't real enough
Highlighting the perceived conflict between expressing feelings and authenticity.
It's just these women, they want a real nigga
Reiterating the desire for authenticity in relationships despite constraints.
But you can't say nun or keep it real nigga
Underlining the challenge of staying authentic while keeping emotions hidden.
