J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League - Thug Cry (Remix) lyrics

(Verse 1) Wake up in the world and I'm just a New Yorker Public housin, scrounging looking for offers Every day is just another closer to a coffin Life punching back feels as tho I'm being cornered Elevate or Fall, only two options Washed up dreams soon as it seem poppin Wake up out my sleep in another cold sweat I live in New York, where the f** to go next Go against the odds, plus I gotta get a job Another broke day but I gotta stay calm So far from my goals, but I'm close to my wiz Thug cry thinking that there's more than what it is (Verse 2) Remembered when I heard this beat, 93 til infinity Souls of Mischief, I was still just a little me Writing in my room, spitting frees was the sh** to me Every time I write it still brings out the kid in me Imagination soars & dreams reignite I travel through the words of what my pen write And what my pen write, might happen if I make it I cry tears thru it & confront myself naked Therapeutic bars for a chaotic world Where jealousy & envy whirlwind in a swirl & blow dreams away when there's no place like home Spoken word in my verse, thug cry thru the poem In a crowded room I stand there alone Looking back at myself thru the glare on my phone Wondering where I'm goin & where the f** I been Wipe the sweat off my brow & tears off my chin.. Thug Cry.... (Verse 3) Close both my eyes, drift away Should I go...or should I stay As I pray feel as though I'm the prey Heavy is the crown upon a thorned head it lay Hennessy & ray, medicine for the cabinet Incense smoke from the far east that's Arabic Thug cry thru the face of fear when it's arrogant Half thug, half man, really just the half of it Makes sense if you understood there's no math in it Boy meets man when the man makes him laugh at it & Pain becomes strength When you withstand the fear & both cheeks are drenched Thug Cry...
