TEARS DRY ON THEIR OWN

 

Last Night I Cried,
 I Sat & I Thought about all the lies. 
Asking Myself Why? 
I Loved you, 
but u took it upon yourself to do me wrong. 
I thought we kan talk about any & everything, 
we're both grown. 
Yes I'm hurted but not for long because 1 thing dat i know is Tears Dry On Their Own.
I played my part, 
guess dat wasn't enough, 
yea we had hard times, 
but u ran off when shit got rough. 
U know Im good now, 
Im pickin up da pieces & moving on 
bc 1 thing my mama taught me Is 
tears Dry On Their Own. L.O.Y.A.L. 
dats wat I was 2 u, 
So Since U betrayed me, 
its time I f--k over you.

All
da signs was there too blind to figure them out,
 so I went left & didn't care wat people were gossiping about.
 I was bout
wat u was bout, 
dats wasnt good enough 4 u so u chose to take another route. 
Jus know u were da 1 who walked out, 
Im Gucci No doubt. 
Yea 4 a minute u had my mind blown, 
lettin yo shit ring, 
not answering yo phone. 
C'mon my nig-a we suppose to be grown

shit is small 2 me f--k you, 

Im in my own zone, 

Not to mention I've moved on. 

Because @ 1 point 

this man name Hannibal always told me Tears Dry On their own. 

I might cry but not 4 long..........

Not For Long...............................And Their Gone!!! 

No More Crying.

REVOLUTION BABY

 

Am from the backseats of mean streets

I got my eye aiming the Wall Street

They said education is the key

I wonder why they made it expensive for we,

Am sitting around hood rats,

Gangsters and Ex- prisoners

Sniffing, snatching, stuffing stuff

Mama expects a lawyer, a doctor, a mayor,

Newsflash!

We are in the middle of a crisis

Am the original copy of a son-of-a-gun

I define the odds

I believe to break a law,

Is to make a road

You go east or west,

Home is still the best

But with a bullet in your chest

Don’t mess with these streets

They will give you a free ride to hell

Pot and crack do rounds all over,

It’s a mess,

I am needed, you are needed,

We are needy

Damn!

We are in a man eat man generation

You either survive or succumb

There’s a billion ways to die,

Choose one,

It’s time for a change,

Change of perspectives,

Change of attitude,

Change of behavior

Let’s get out of our comfort zone,

Coz that’s what’s drowning us,

We need a change

Change for the better

It’s revolution time!!
