Roc-a-Fella Records - Song Cry (MTV Unplugged) lyrics

[Intro: Mary J. Blige (Jay Z)] Picture all the possibilities (Ok) Picture all the possibilities (This is so soulful) Sounds like a love song Sounds like a love song (Most incredible baby) Yeah yeah [Hook 1] I can't see 'em coming down my eyes So I gotta make the song cry [Verse 1] Good dude, I know you love me like cooked food Even though a n***a gotta move like a crook move We was together on the block since free lunch We should've been together having Four Seasons brunch We used to use umbrellas to face the bad weather Now we travel first cla** to change the forecast Never in bunches, just me and you I loved your point of view cause you held no punches Still I left you for months on end It's been months since I checked back in We're somewhere in a small town, locking the mall down Woodgrain, four and change, Armor All'd down I can understand why you want a divorce now Though I can't let you know it, pride won't let me show it Pretend to be heroic, that's just one to grow with But deep inside you know I'm so sick right [Hook 2] I can't see 'em coming down my eyes So I gotta make the song cry I know I see it coming down your eyes So I gotta make the song cry I can't it coming down my eyes So I gotta make the song cry [Verse 2] On repeat, the CD of BIG's "Me and My Chick" Watching Bonnie and Clyde, pretending to be that sh** Empty gun in your hand saying, "Let me see that clip" Shopping sprees, pull out that Visa quick You know I had very bad credit, you helped me lease that whip You helped me get the keys to that V dot 6 We was so happy poor but when we got rich That's when our signals got crossed, and we got flipped Rather mine, I don't know what made me leave that sh Made me speed that quick, let me see - that's it It was the cheese helping chickens get amnesia quick I used to cut up they buddies, now they sayin they love me Used to tell they friends I was ugly and wouldn't touch me Then I showed up in that dubbed out buggy And then they got fuzzy and they don't remember that And I don't remember you, you, you [Hook 2] I can't see 'em coming down my eyes So I gotta make the song cry I know I see it coming down your eyes So I gotta make the song cry I can't it coming down my eyes So I gotta make the song cry [Verse 3] A face of stone, was shocked on the other end of the phone Word back home is that you had a special friend So what was oh so special then You have given away without getting at me That's your fault, how many times you forgiven me How was I to know that you was plain sick of me? I know the way a n***a living was whack But you don't get a n***a back like that! sh** I'm a man with pride, you don't do sh like that You don't just pick up and leave and leave me sick like that You don't throw away what we had, just like that I was flirting with them girls, I was gon' get right back They say you can't turn a bad girl good But once a good girl's gone bad, she's gone forever I mourn forever, sh** I've got to live with the fact I did you wrong forever [Hook 2] I can't see 'em coming down my eyes So I gotta make the song cry I know I see it coming down your eyes So I gotta make the song cry I can't it coming down my eyes So I gotta make the song cry [Outro: Jay Z (Mary J Blige)] Let's break it down This song right here is for real, for all the hustlers right Who had a girlfriend, and started off, their whole relationship started off you know, he did what he had to do for them, you know what I mean?
