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