about

After formally renaming herself, Uyemi releases her first single “Cry” on all platforms. This song speaks volumes to the mistreatment of being in a toxic relationship and goes on to choosing self reflection in order to liberate oneself to healthier choice making, creating a melody to self love and self care.

lyrics

Inside your lies, I realized
What was painted blue was really blue and black
And my eyes were bleeding couldnt see the lines
You took my heart from my chest, is it still beating?

Why do we fall for the ones who starve us
Why do we cry for the ones who hurt us
Why do we fall for the ones who starve us
Why do we cry for the ones who hurt us

And it never changes, everything that you feel
Everything you’re chasing, everything you make up
Baby lace up
Want you out my house no make up
Want you out my crib dont wait up
I’m laughing at your jokes
Tryna be above your bloke

Why do we fall for the ones who starve us
Why do we cry for the ones who hurt us
Why do we fall for the ones who starve us
Why do we cry for the ones who hurt us

Yes I realize, uh
You dont really care no, you dont really care
So had to take care yes, had to comb my hair
Had to put my head back, had to take my own steps, had to breathe my own breath
You dont really care no, you dont really care

Why do we fall for the ones who starve us
Why do we cry for the ones who hurt us
Why do we fall for the ones who starve us
Why do we cry for the ones who hurt us

Cry cry cry cry, ooo
Cry cry cry cry cry

Why do we fall for the ones who starve us
Who do we cry for the ones who hurt us
