Tears

Tears came down

Tears came pouring down

Tears came down

Too many downfalls

Too many downfalls, I could cry

It's been a lifetime full of fighting

Why this shit still feel wrong?

Can't believe my dawg gone

And they tell me, "Stay strong"

Doing that sometimes ain't enough

Tryna hold these tears back but that don't work no more, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Tryna hold these tears back, ain't cried in so long

Yeah, can't cry for too long

Yeah, tears for losses

Tears for hurt

Tears for joy

For all good times

Tears for racks

Change will come

It's okay to cry

Yeah, all my **** got tattoo tears

Killed two opps

Now he gotta tatt two tears

Locked up in the county on the last two tears

For the past few years

Lost my cousin Duke due to his last few pills

We lost Justin, too, due to his last few deals

Back in 2002 I was working with a vacuum seal

Smoke from the crack fumes, y'all don't even know what to do with a bathroom mirror

Used to get picked on 'cause I never had new gear

**** gon' hate so I can't take that too serious

Dropped out of school midday, didn't go to the last two periods

Now I run them rap tours like Masai Ujiri

That's why I buy new jewelry

'Cause we really come from nothing

If the streets ever paid your bail, we hold a common bond

Palmed a gun at twelve, I wished they had have never sold us one

We handle beef well but sometimes I just felt it was overdone

Like Friday Night Lights and the marching band, just pulled up with drums

I was on the corner, playing bump and run for OG Bumpy Johnson

And that's really just being nonchalant

For the power, **** will ghost you with a Tommy gun, damn

Tears came down

Tears came pouring down

Tears came down

Too many downfalls

Too many downfalls, I could cry

It's been a lifetime full of fighting

Why this shit still feel wrong?

Can't believe my dawg gone

And they tell me, "Stay strong"

Doing that sometimes ain't enough

Tryna hold these tears back but that don't work no more, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Tryna hold these tears back, ain't cried in so long

Yeah, can't cry for too long

Yeah, tears for losses

Tears for hurt

Tears for joy

For all good times

Tears for racks

Change will come

It's okay to cry

Yeah, uh

I cried tears of anger

To all my real ones out here living dangerous

I'll make sure your name stay miscellaneous

From here to Pennsylvania

I'm not proud of the shit I did with gangstas

'Cause I affected so many different strangers

I rather be rich than famous

But I'm paranoid, hand on my trigger, anxious

I know these rappers are here to entertain us

We all got partnas who will slide if we lift a finger

But why we still gotta be street

Just to show the money didn't change us?

They say I turned Hollywood

But I rather be Topanga, with a wife and a cute lil' girl

See shit from a different angle

But for some reason I still feel entangled

Them **** tried to stand over me like when Jesus was in the manger

What's even stranger

You was alive at your funeral

They cried

Looking down at the body

While they was viewing you

The spirit looking back at the flesh

Like it was two of you

They came to the service

On a Friday afternoon for you

They had that memorial stadium by the atrium

I knew my haters wanted to be there so I made sure they made some room for you

They bought flowers and balloons for you

It's crazy how many ladies came out to see you

It was beautiful

Tears came down

Tears came pouring down

Tears came down

Too many downfalls

Too many downfalls, I could cry

It's been a lifetime full of fighting

Why this shit still feel wrong?

Can't believe my dawg gone

And they tell me, "Stay strong"

Doing that sometimes ain't enough

Tryna hold these tears back but that don't work no more, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Tryna hold these tears back, ain't cried in so long

Yeah, can't cry for too long

Yeah, tears for losses

Tears for hurt

Tears for joy

For all good times

Tears for racks

Change will come

It's okay to cry

Tears came down

Tears came pouring down

Tears came down

Tryna hold these tears back but that don't work no more

Tryna hold these tears back but that don't work no more

It's okay to cry
