Lyrics

Momma used to tell me "Baby, dry your eyes
I know it's hard to feel blessed with all that stress inside"
But why fill up your brain with things you can't change?
I'm stone built, my lady says I'm emotionally strange
'Cause I don't spill milk and feel the need to vent
I watch my people die and I barely lament
So why pray when the fact is we can't bring 'em back?
I know that life is fickle, I don't get too attached
No entourage, a couple homies up in my squad
Loyalty is the code so the circle is small
And I'd die for 'em all, on the game I mean it
About me shedding them tears, man, I just can't see it
Why cry over pouring rain?
Things you can't change, lives filled with pain
It does no good
It does no good, it does no good
Why cry when the milk is spilled?
Now you're filled with rage, gotta turn to pain
It does no good
It does no good, it does no good
When the times was thick (Uh-huh) we came together (Yup)
The rains came, we braved 'em with no umbrella (Uh-huh)
When they locked us out (Yeah) we kicked in the door (Yeah)
When the money ran out we hustled and made more (Yeah)
When the lights went out (Uh-huh) we struck a match (Yup)
They said the real was over, so we brought it back (Woo)
Like a fish out of water (Yup) we had to adapt (Yes)
So when them haters show me love I know it's a trap
Who goes harder than I up in the city?
On my grind, cousin, for real, they gon' have to kill me
You feel me? I'm from the bottom, the bottom is all I know
I carry this pain, but yo, I just can't let it show
Why cry?
Why cry over pouring rain?
Things you can't change, lives filled with pain
It does no good
It does no good, it does no good
Why cry when the milk is spilled?
Now you're filled with rage, gotta turn to pain
It does no good
It does no good, it does no good
I used to cry (Now what?), now I stunt (Yeah)
I used to ask (Now what?), now I take what I want (Uh-huh)
I used to smile (Smile on 'em), now I frown (Uh-huh)
The struggle's real in the field where them brothers get down
We gotta hustle, the hustle is in our blood
No work, no eat, take a day off, I wish I could
Excuses is for the losers, the winners is who we are
The game is so good to us, we persevere to go far
Why cry?
Why cry over pouring rain?
Things you can't change, lives filled with pain
It does no good
It does no good, it does no good
Why cry when the milk is spilled?
Now you're filled with rage, gotta turn to pain
It does no good
It does no good, it does no good
