Vinnie Paz - Don't Cry lyrics

[Doap Nixon] Yeah, let's go Hey Paz let's add on, my n***a I'm talking about real talk It's grown man sh** right here Straight from the heart, I'm talking about When that acting super cool sh** ain't working no more You know what I'm saying? Straight acting, n***as out here acting like gangstas 24/7 n***as is fugazy Yo.. The first time I heard rap I was so ga**ed Cause back then, you could make an album with no cash But nowadays everybody is so cool You got n***as dropping out of school to learn Pro Tools And this is all facts I had to learn how to fall back And stop wasting my time with small cats They'll have you caught up in beef that you'll get k**ed for Or caught up in the current, my n***a, that you ain't built for And young jawns, getting loose with the cooch Not understanding everything in this life started with you, but I know this life is getting kind scary (Hang on) When you only here you secondary Man, you most necessary And AOTP family is too strong We hold our head high Cause it's been down for too long And once you get it, don't get it and boast, just do the knowledge The greater the trial the greater the growth That's real [Planetary] Man up, don't cry when the struggle approaches Keep your self at arms reach Away from haters and jokers When it's time to be a man Make your plan and face it Things are gonna get better Once you get out of the basement The struggle only gonna sit It lasts if you let it The only way to overcome it Is to shuffle through the negatives If the positives allows you to proceed promptly React on impulses and show your results calmly Take it from a man that'll do for his family More than he do for 'self Who else could understand me The streets are watching so the option is yours The only way to make an effect Is ride for the cause, my n***a (Yo!) [Hook: Doap Nixon] We gotta hang on, shorties is giving up The hood's broke, cause the government don't give a f** Don't waste your whole life trying to get cheddar Hold your head high and don't cry, shorty, it gets better Don't live everyday praying' that hand's help This is grown man sh**, put in work for your damn self Don't waste your whole life trying to get cheddar Hold your head high and don't cry, homie, it gets better [Demoz] I'm come from a broken home Bloody tears, no cameras No footage of dad f**ing with grandma Now my daughter getting larger by the minute Asking questions like, "Where my daddy?" I tell her Baby, in this life we live, there's a life to give To a upper hand, maybe pretty soon you'll understand that I took a sip of your Bacardi my n***a (Oops!) I was twevle, you was mad, look, I'm sorry my n***a (I'm sorry, my n***a) And thanks for the party my n***a You threw for my birthday at parks Nothing will ever break us apart Now I'm much bigger, life is much clearer Percocet abuse and dumbing zanis in my syrup 'Till I'm in the Grammys with a Shakira look-alike Hook's is right, I don't wanna be a crip tonight... Nope, hope a major label look tonight Cause I don't wanna have to strong arm you and get booked tonight [Vinnie Paz] Call it the hood or gutter For all they looking for is a good mother But it ain't none of them that's left They took the good from her It ain't safe no more, the street is Vietnam The older guards on their dean Trying to keep it calm The streets rough out here, it's tough out here And young bols they don't give a f** out here (Damn) But the government the one who put the crack in hoods We gonna start a revolution, take it back for good And I don't give a motherf** about the police They the reason every single ghetto having no peace They putting poison in the water I don't know why This is for the little shorties hold your head and don't cry [Hook: Doap Nixon] We gotta hang on, shorties is giving up The hood's broke, cause the government don't give a f** Don't waste your whole life trying to get cheddar Hold your head high and don't cry, shortie, it gets better Don't live everyday praying that hand's help This is grown man sh**, put in work for your damn self Don't waste your whole life trying to get cheddar Hold your head high and don't cry, homie, it gets better Don't cry!
