I can't stand to see you cry

I can't stand to see you cry

It breaks my heart to see you crying when I'm trying my best

You lie and you rest in bed tryna suppress

That fact that you been always crying and you kinda depressed

Because I claim that you one and treat you just like the rest

I know I sound like the bad guy but let's not forget

The things you did that made me feel like I ain't have your respect

You genuinely loved me but I cannot neglect

The many times you made me feel like you my biggest regret

Now my perspective is subjective but I feel as though that

Lust's the only reason that a message is getting sent between the two of us

I'm through with us and through with this,

I had my final straw when you threw a fit

Run and tell your brother bout this stupid shit

Tell me what he think about it

She turned around and told me that she don't feel appreciated

Valued all the time together but it's depreciating

Never showed me love so how I'm supposed to reciprocate it?

Do you hear the shit you saying?

You gotta be fucking playing!

All of the that just prompted me to ask why you the you staying?

But I wish I never did

Like unattended toddlers, only we were in the crib

Crying in each other's arms like a baby with a bib

Been observing people's actions and the one thing that I learned

Is that we gotta call it quits before the point of the return

You cheated and I cheated but I cheated even more

'Cause I always feel the need to go and even up the score

My ego's in a rut

Now it seems I'm stuck

It feels like I just ran me and my feelings through the mud

Inside it tears me up

When I see you tearing up

No we might not be in love but I still gotta cheer you up because

I can't stand to see you cry

I can't stand to see you cry

How many more times do I got to see the pain on the face of my kin

I'd trace every tear on your cheek, with my blade on his skin

Like the condition my razor is in, my patience is thin

Just give the word and you won't see him again

Promise you fine by me

Family ties is a thick line to me

Damned be the man who step into my sister's life and break the monogamy

Over lust shit, fuck shit

Peep the divine in me

I'll go and use your tears to make a winery

So you can pour me a cup and we can toast to the chapter that has finally

Closed but I'm froze when the cup's over my nose

My reflection is exposed through the blood of my foe

And that's a me I wish I never known

Suddenly I'm 16 again

And hate to say it sis but why the fuck do I see me in him

It never failed, blind as brail, chasing tail in them high school hallways

Skins was the thing on my mind like always

Telling every girl that I loved them, tryna cuff them

Some boys would carry the steel, my pockets carried the rubbers

Simply for my protection, knowing I'm tryna bust one

And leave with no repercussions

I'll call you later , uh huh yuh

How many women came to me begging to see me better

Say lay with me now, and cross my heart that we last for never

I often said a body's just a body, whatever

So put aside emotions and get in her

I peep it's so sinister

Through the pain of my sister

I regret all my neglect, let me relive a

Better life, although I loved the game I played in my past

I got to go, sincerely yours, bitch ass reflection in the wine glass

I can't stand to see you cry

I can't stand to see you cry

**** got me fucked up I'ma need his ass anyway

I got you

Yeah

Got so much love for my baby, I run through fire for you until it's my ending

It's hard, I gasp for air but I love you without condition

Yea I had you by myself, spent some lonely nights in that ER

Your father came and left like it was his family tradition

We in 1996, in the c-section I'm stitched, tryna get up money to feed you he out with another bitch

If we pack up our shit and leave on that **** would have a fit

I can't lie to you his music the only thing that I miss

I'm fed up cuz on your birthday that old **** lost his head

He put his hands on me, I grabbed the bat and went upside his head

Made sure I got you out of bed and packed your clothes, took you to nana's house

You ever treat a woman how he treated me I'd kick you out

And don't you give me lip lil boy you close your mouth

And I refuse to let you end up in that county now

You never speak unless your spoken to

With all the shit I'm going through

Somehow I have the strength to raise you right, I'm praying over you cause

I can't stand to see you cry

I can't stand to see you cry

Ma Ma

Mommy, tell me why your eyes red?

I'm only six, I'm sorry that I just pissed my bed

Or is it misbehavin' situations up in my education

'Cause my ADHD flagrant ain't take my meds I'm sayin' that I'm sorry, mama

Could you shed some patience on me, mama?

I know you hate me cause I keep on actin naughty, mama

Sorry I'ma change

You arguin' with daddy while I hide my face in shame

'Cause I'm sorry, mama

I wanna say I wanna live, but that'd be hardly honest

Rather leave you be and watch you from wherever God be watchin'

Pain that you would have if I was gone

I'm thinkin' probably nada

Never comin' back, I'm young but don't believe in zombies, mama

I wish I was never born I'm like a rose with threads of thorns

Because you helped me grow but didn't know that I would leave you torn

And daddy's never comin' home

He just won't pick me up whether physical or on the phone

And he just left us both alone

And I know that it's my fault

I can't stand to see you cry

I'm sorry, mama

I can't stand to see you cry
