Yeah
Need y'all niggas to feel me yo
Feel my pain
Said soft niggas can't last hard times yo
Believe that ****
Yeah
Yeah
Aye
Aye
Real niggas don't cry
Look yo
Was just a youngin' with that fresh fade
Bird chest legs skinny
That hoop dreaming had me tryna be the next Penny
Fresh Pennys on my feet
Momma paid for everything I'm wearing
At the fair staring at girls not a care in the world
Aw nigga but **** done changed since Mane was my nickname
A little nigga chasing things tryna kick game
Now I'm a man worried about my fam
Let me explain
It's like my pockets stay broke and if not them ****'s sprained
And so I rap for my niggas trapped in the struggle
You feeling like the world's on your back so you stumble
In the field like a quarterback get sacked then you fumble
Jobs don't call a nigga back so it's back to the hustle
Niggas praying for they moms the same time they moms pray for them
Ask the Lord to stay with them guide them on they way
But damn a nigga been a lost faith
It hurts on the usual
The only time you catch me up at church is a funeral
Damn
Sometimes sunshine turn to rain my nigga
The same ones you love will bring you pain my nigga
I don't know if I'll see tomorrow
But I won't cry no I can't cry
And in this life times getting hard my nigga
But **** that I'm aiming for the stars my nigga
I won't stop try 'til the day I die
And I won't cry no I can't cry no
Ay ay ay yea
Listen yo
I sit back and watch the news every now and then
Either get depressed or mad from watching the world just crash
Even the weather's bad
It be the same **** got my brain twisted
Like "Damn it's '06 and niggas still up on that gang ****?"
That **** old dawg
Yesterday this kid got his whole frame split
Only seventeen he was finna graduate in like three weeks
Some stupid niggas got him for his chain
But he fought back they blasted him and left him on the pavement uh
Rest in peace
And now they telling me this little girl just got raped
Some dude snatched her she was standing at the bus stop
Wait man she was eleven
What the **** is up with this world?
Got these grown niggas ******* with girls?
Plus the cops harassing us
Every week be blasting us on accident or so they claim
Reporters sympathizing like they truly know the pain
Right
They killed her only son
Now she wanna blow her brains out
Change the channel man I can't watch this ****
Sometimes sunshine turn to rain my nigga
The same ones you love will bring you pain my nigga
I don't know if I'll see tomorrow
And I won't cry no I can't cry
And in this life times getting hard my nigga
But **** that I'm aiming for the stars my nigga
I won't stop try 'til the day I die
And I won't cry no I can't cry no
Take a ride through the city man tell me what you witness
Poverty richness crooked cops and misfits
Violence hatred real devastation
Neighborhoods looking like there's still segregation
Welfare single mothers no jobs
Tryna get a piece for yourself but they hogging up the whole pie
Fiends in the street so high off of that crack ****
This nigga thirteen with a gat under his mattress
Bang
White folks got the road to success mapped and that's all good
But why don't blacks got that same atlas?
I asked the same question a million ways
And it seems like I done prayed for a million days
But still the ills remain just bills and pain
Shootouts in project buildings children slain
Skies filled with rain and I just sit and wonder why
It's enough to make a nigga wanna cry but I can't though
Sometimes sunshine turn to rain my nigga
The same ones you love will bring you pain my nigga
I don't know if I'll see tomorrow
And I won't cry no I can't cry
And in this life times getting hard my nigga
But **** that I'm aiming for the stars my nigga
I won't stop try 'til the day I die
And I won't cry no I can't cry no
Yeah **** dedicated to my cousin Ricky man
Hoop dreams cut short man
Learned he had a baby on the way
Nigga wasn't even a senior in high school
Hold your head man
