You are not alone 'cause I'm going through this thing with you
You don't have to cry no more
You, you don't have to cry no more
But I'm too broke to even die
Well, answer this then, which would you swallow?
While they bitin' ya ass
Tryna take my [Incomprehensible], I'll turn your hat lavender
At age six, my piss could crank up a Hummer
Man, I wish I was dead
Broke with no job, too broke to smoke dope
I'm a disgrace to my folks, 'cause I ain't graduate?
We all need to cry sometimes, someone, something we can count on
Since the fifth I been twistin' spliffs and hittin' the weed
Okay, I came up but all the faith folks came down
That's what pain do to you
Man I been homeless
You don't have to cry no more
From flippin' dimes, playin' get like me to get a dollar
I lived knock hard, like Jay Z, boy ya won
You ever spent the night in the grass?
I was so broke my wet dream was 'bout eatin' a meal
'Cause I know how to steel
If we make it through this pain, promise I'm gon' keep it real with you
Y'all don't know how it feel
Shawn ain't my cousin but he here through thick and thin
Sacks of herb in my pocket I smoke eventually
Even Momma turned her back on me, wouldn't look me in my face
I'm too broke to spend time
I could've been a metal welder
Supposed to be sellin' 'em, but it's hard to give 'em away
You are not alone 'cause I'm going through this thing with you
I couldn't afford a funeral
If we make it through this pain, promise I'm gon' keep it real with you
You are not alone 'cause I'm going through this thing with you
Well, I been hearin' a lotta people say that blood's thicker than water
I was alone so I turned to God and e said
My eyes went through menestration every day in the summer
Everybody wanna chill now, in my grill now
With ants and mesquites
You, you don't have to cry no more
Man, times so hard, I wanna take my own life
You don't have to cry no more
I ain't have nobody
You, you don't have to cry no more
You are not alone 'cause I'm going through this thing with you
The script flip flopped, now the game changed round
If we make it through this pain, promise I'm gon' keep it real with you
If we make it through this pain, promise I'm gon' keep it real with you
You don't have to cry no more
Now my smile ice cold, white gold like whoa
We all need to cry sometimes, someone, something we can count on
Had a hooker mom, like Alfred she Hitchcock
Naw, I ain't braggin', I'm just keepin' it real
We all need to cry sometimes, someone, something we can count on
I used beats and rhymes, why not, look at me now
You, you don't have to cry no more
If we make it through this pain, promise I'm gon' keep it real with you
My best friend got shot nine times for nothin'
I remember bein' broke with no record deal
He was all I had, we used to lie and say we was cousins
To ridin' on my own twenties in my Impala, I ain't cryin'
Things got harder, at age eighteen, I bought a gun
I said that to say, it don't matter, friend or kin
You don't have to cry no more
You, you don't have to cry no more
A crutch, a crutch, a crutch, a crutch, a crutch
You, you don't have to cry no more
Bumped dad, 'cause when he visit it was like a pit stop
A crutch, a crutch, a crutch, a crutch, a crutch
If we make it through this pain, promise I'm gon' keep it real with you
You are not alone 'cause I'm going through this thing with you
A three eighty caliber, for street crazy scavengers
As far as I remember, I been in high school ever since elementary
Livin' the day for tomorrow, so on the down low
