You Don't Have To Cry

Ay, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

My name is Weezy F baby, Hey

Yeah, Her name is Ms Dynamite, Yeah

But you tell me...

You don't have to cry

You don't have to cry no more

As long as you keep holding on

You can damn sure take it

We gon' make it baby

You don't have to cry

You don't have to cry no more

As long as you keep holding on

You can damn sure take it

We gon' make it baby

You don't have to cry

Cause the snitches running to the feds

Hoes bouncing from bed to bed

No places from trust in your head

Can't trust it...

Where so many tears are shed

Keep friends? he keep a 9 instead

He know tonight he could be dead

No justice...

So many troubled, souls, so many broken homes

So many kids out of control

Cause they hopeless...

Too many on parole, too many lies told

Too many had they freedom stole

Tryin' to make it out the hood

Like trying to make it out a man hole without a rope to pull

Hope the bullshit don't take me out for good

I know I gotta make the right example for my folk

I don't joke, though the smoke is hella' hard to pull

I just take it to the chest like a vet

Getting still, what I feel on the inside is genocide

Trying to live on the outside, but will I die

But you tell me

You don't have to cry

You don't have to cry no more

As long as you keep holding on

You can damn sure take it

We gon' make it baby

You don't have to cry

You don't have to cry no more

As long as you keep holding on

You can damn sure take it

We gon' make it baby

You don't have to cry

My niggas posted on the block

Like they soldiers in Iraq

Everyday them bodies drop

Keep droppin...

Pain and violence round the clock

Need help but we cant trust the cops

So how the f**k we make it stop?

No stoppin...

We tired of these bloody streets

All they breed is tragedy

This poverty so sad to see

So sad...

Long as them sirens ring

I pray to see the day ya smile

Get up in my state, I'm tryin' to find fate

Gotta get it for grind sake, I gotta find Kate

Aint to fire escape, I gotta climb gates

And knock down walls, and get up when I fall

You see, given a time ill face, I cant slow the pace

Gotta move a little faster, aint nobody on my side

I pray every night, feel like I aint prayin' to god

Every time I tell mom, she reply

Aint a whole lot of love where we living

The self-hate replace the optimism

Aint a whole lot of chances we're given

It's bullshit these streets is devil riddin'

Everyday you hear another mother scream

Ever night another victim another murder scene

Every second another nigga turn fiend

But my ghetto children hold onto your dreams

Though its looking kinda rough you gotta hold on,

Though its looking kinda rough you gotta hold on,

I know it looking kinda rough you gotta hold on,

Though its looking kinda rough you gotta hold on,

Ay, ay, call me when its, and call me when its

Ay, ay, and call me when its, call me when its, call me when its

Ay, all my people call me when its gangsta,

My name is Weezy F baby, hey

Her name is Ms Dynamite, hey, yo yo

I know its lookin' kinda rough you gotta hold on

You don't have to cry

You don't have to cry

You don't have to cry
