N. Talekt - Don't Cry For Me lyrics

[Listen] Http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11217228 [Verse 1] Let me start by saying you reap what you sow And I planted these seeds a long time ago And the rest was the effect of the domino Another baby born so somebody's got to go ... and karma put me first in line One way ticket, first cla**, purchased mine The currency was every situation I was placed in Where my decision-makin' was based on the word "currently" ... and long term didn't concern me So I played with the flame didn't think it would burn me Look back on the day my mother deserted me Apologies to my father, you didn't deserve me You tried to spoil me, I thought I was neglected You provided, I rejected, I decided I wasn't respected Went outside and learned a lesson Now I realize you had the message, so dont cry for me [Hook] I know it's hard but these days'll pa** ... but the only thing I ask is dont cry for me Just learn from the pain I faced The mistakes I made, the days i'd waste Everything you gave me I took that for granted That includes my life, even second chances As you lower me in the dirt or spread my ashes However tragic, doesn't matter, don't cry for me [Verse 2] I never considered myself a role model But looking back, every step I took, he followed A bond you can't break, we was family-bound Heh, he was even proud to rock my hand-me-downs Sitting back, depressed by my own struggles At the same time I had to replace the boys mother Faced with more trouble that I couldn't take But I put the sheets on the bed, the mint on the pillowcase Took another drink 'til I couldn't feel a thing Mind numb to the pain, both his and mine But when I sobered up, every beer i'd cry So I took another woman to rebuild my pride ...i'm just glad that one of us saw the dead end And hopped out the ride before the tailspin So I apologize for every promise broken And know it's many miles where you goin, so don't cry for me [Hook] [Verse 3] I was Part of a crew on a ship with no captain Future was a faded picture with no caption As we approached the glacier, my crew bailed My reaction, I grabbed the mast and took helm One stayed, telling me of life after sails Tried as long as he could, eventually he failed I wouldn't say he quit, I pushed him over the rail Fate sealed with my words like a letter in the mail It's difficult dealin with a will so strong With a head so hard and an ego so large You fought so long for a friend so gone But we drifted so far apart, I don't blame you See it's hard when every open door closes So I held my whole world in a closed fist No room to grow but I chose my road So if you go to my funeral, don't cry for me [Hook]
