Lil Wayne - Cry Out (Amen) lyrics

Yeah, yeah Yes I'mma call this one, real rap Because this rap is real, ya know? I hope you ain't too tired to cry And I hope you know you ain't never too live to die Listen I grew up where them people called them people on us Think we slangin', but we just got beepers on us Grindin' all day like we got sleep insomnia Livin' like the videos write a treatment on us Stuck in the hood like they poured cement on us Ghetto birds still sh**tin' on us, government still quittin' on us Lost a few homies and the grief still sittin' on us So we got their names writtin' on us White folks still spittin' on us And them b**h a** police canines, teeth still grittin' on us But we smoke, ashes still gettin' on us All the b**hes still hittin' on us I remember well, Beezy roll a L Beezy ain't here. Where's Beezy at? Beezy got k**ed And that was my n***a, I go way back wit my n***a But I know that's how it happened my n***a sh** is much deeper than this rappin' my n***a But now they all rappin', my n***as, so now I must make it happen So I'mma play the captain, sail boat flappin' my n***a No fingas I'm snappin', happy for my n***a Lil' Tiggas 'Cause even though we couldn't, The Lord saved him Last time we seen him was when Katrina hated Found his body like a month later, rest in peace boy He was a East boy, and so was Wesy West He was a good n***a, so I know he blessed And his daughter is a princess This sh** is harder than a bench press But I'mma keep goin', and I swear I got a lump in my throat But I'mma keep on pumpin' the flow So if I cry don't stop the beat I feel like my heart just stopped the beat My n***a Lil' Derrick is quick to cop a key Either that or load the gat and go pop a G And because of that he's just a name in a rhyme of mine I pray his family and his mama's fine So much sh** just sit on this mind of mine I think about it all the time I drink about it all the time I smoke back to back 'Cause if my thoughts got to me I'd be in this rap Or I'd be in the can, thank God I had dreams of being the man Yeah And f** a man with a badge 'Cause he ain't sh** to a man on the edge The five-o k**ed Naughty, good boy dead Man you woulda thought they k**ed Corn Bread Shot 'em up face down on the lawn Not to mention with his handcuffs on Not to mention they had plain clothes on And the complaint goes on But nobody do nothin' 'bout it The jailhouse and the morgue is too f**in' crowded And haters at an all time high Everybody gotta hate, just like a f**in' iPod sh** and they tried to burn my Phantom up But I got my gun license, I got my hammers up I'm ready to shoot like a camera Stay still mothaf**a I'mma have to write my will this summer 'Cause if they don't k** me, I'mma k** this summer Yeah And you can put that on my late father Or my late grandmother, Ms. Mercedes Carter Or my grandfather Larry Bosock The old man hustle 'till his heart stopped And all I know 'bout my real pops is that he had money No bank account, that brown paper bag money Yeah he might hit me off wit a little brag money But the n***a still wouldn't be a dad for me But look how I turned out I hope he glad for me But that's why when I see him I acts mad funny, 'Cause he's a joke to me Don't message, don't call, don't talk to me It's just me and my mama how it's suppose to be And I make sure she paid like she rode for me And I know she gets all hope for me And I don't ever want to see her mope for me Hopefully, but truthfully there is a day that's due for me But we gone pray it's as far as the future sees You are listenin' to the future Weezy F. Baby Amen
