A September morning

Life didn't seem the same way it should be

I was just mourning

Thinking of all the wrong that was done to me, check it

Sitting on my doorstep, thinking with my head down

Alone in my own world with no one left around

Then out of nowhere, comes my partner, Majesty, asking me

"Yo, Izz why you look like there's been a tragedy?"

Remember the girl from down the block that I was checkin' out?

I was on my way to her house, sippin' on a Guinness Stout

Looking jazzy like ya don't know, my jewels were dangling

You can see it on the steering wheel of my Volvo

I wanted to catch a flick and that's all

Sarafina, heard it was playing at Kings Plaza Mall

Had bad vibes before I got to her crib

But when I did, seen her talking to this light-skinned kid

Check it out

It's something that I so despise

Faking moves on the mind of a fool

Brings tears to my eyes

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, can’t keep these tears from my eyes (Mhmm)

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, can’t keep these tears from my eyes

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, can’t keep these tears from my eyes (Mhmm)

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, can’t keep these tears from my eyes

Hopped out the ride, slam the door, press the alarm, is it on?

It's time to drop the bomb, but remain calm (Yeah)

Should I bring it up or should I just wait?

For her to kick it, dig it

She was out to get it like Gidget, I figured

So then I asked, "Who's the kid that left your pad?"

"Oh, he's a friend of mine, I met him at the study lab in school"

Sounds like the typical, mythical, mystical line

Used by slime, but you can't trick me, ho (Ho)

Then she said she "wouldn't let it happen again"

He came to the crib to help her out, so she had to let him in

Sure, you're right

He's coming in the day, but he's leaving at night, uh huh

Mama told me they'll be girls like these, I said "please"

I spent money like it grew on tree leaves

It's something that I so despise

Faking moves on the mind of a fool

Brings tears to my eyes

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, can’t keep these tears from my eyes (Dang, dang)

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, can’t keep these tears from my eyes (I don't know)

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, can’t keep these tears from my eyes (Ha ha)

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, can’t keep these tears from my eyes (You know..)

Another twenty minutes passed, then the phone rang

I picked it up and said, "Hello?" And then her friend asked

"Who is this? James?" (Hehahaha)

"Nah, this is Izzy, and I don't recall having my name changed"

And by the way, who is this? Ya bear witness, get this

If you was here, I'd probably hit you with my Guinness (Stout)

Hung up the phone and got crazy

Cause the woman I called my lady was playing a role like Patrick Swayze

I just left like a real man should (Tell 'em)

Didn't argue a bit, feeling real damn good

I heard a brother say it doesn't pay to be faithful

I learned my lesson that day, and I'm grateful (True, kid)

But I can't base my future on my past

It's hard keeping caution, at the same time watching my cash

Making sure that I don't spend an extra buck

She flipped the script, Mr. All That got fucked, knee deep

It's something that I so despise

Faking moves on a mind of a fool

Brings tears to my eyes...

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, can’t keep these tears from my eyes (Hehe, what a way to go out)

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, can’t keep these tears from my eyes (Haha, nah)

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, can’t keep these tears from my eyes (It's going to be alright)

Don't cry, don't cry, (You're still the man baby) don't cry, can’t keep these tears from my eyes (Yeah)

Brings tears to my eyes, haha, ha

Ha, haha, yeah, haha, let's go, ha

Haha (We outta here) haha
