Don't Weep

Baby don't you weep, don't you weep, don't you cry
Together we are brave, we are brave, we will fight
Baby don't lose sleep, don't grow weak, don't grow tired
Together we are strong, and the strong will survive
Together we'll be

All dogs go to heaven, all artists they go to bed starving
Reality's beating me up again
My peers are complacent and vaping in class again
Meanwhile I'm running and running and running
In women's sunglasses and second hand cardigans
I was self conscious and then I got over it
Running and running and tripping and running
I will amount to something before all of these people
Assimilate me through evil, rational, practical free fall
Grown-ups praying on a redo and everybody wants a sequel
Of high school years and fears that seem irrational behind their backs
But obviously you want a pension more than that

Baby don't you weep, don't you weep, don't you cry
Together we are brave, we are brave, we will fight
Baby don't lose sleep, don't grow weak, don't grow tired
Together we are strong, and the strong will survive
Together we'll be

All dogs go to heaven
All artists they go to bed
Hey, hold up, you can't do the same flow again
I salsa to the pulse of the youth
And I tango to the tempo of truth
It's bigger than me and bigger than you
Kid cut the 'tude
I cut mine too and I've been loving the view
I still see ghosts sometimes but I don't ever show it
My stone face is a smile so you wouldn't never know it
The way I stop, drop and roll, flames uncontrollable
Abloh flow so every line is quotable (Bingo)
But maybe I got it wrong there
Missed the mark on the tone of the song there
Ma, pack up the lawn chairs
You can't see this yet, it's a work in progress
While my mind digests the moment I'm in
I've been having really good days and really bad nights
Really high highs and really good frights
Really though, it's pretty not my style
Texting a pretty girl while I cry my eyes out
I bet she's crying too, and so are we
That's what I meant by

Baby don't you weep, don't you weep, don't you cry
Together we are brave, we are brave, we will fight
Baby don't lose sleep, don't grow weak, don't grow tired
Together we are strong, and the strong will survive
Together we'll be alright

Why you gotta be that way?
Why you gotta bend and break and take
All the things that I love about you babe
And take them away, take them away
Why you gotta be that way?
Why you gotta bend and break and take
All the things that I love about you babe
And take them away, take them away
Forget Rihanna, you a fashion killa in your red pyjamas
Forget Rihanna, you a fashion killa in your red pyjamas
Why you gotta be that way?
Why you gotta bend and break and take
All the things that I love about you babe
And take them away, take them away

Hi Nico, I miss you so much, honey
I hope you are having a great time there
I can't wait to see you, love you
Hi Nico, me too, I miss you here
It's kinda sad without you around here
I hope you're doing fine down there and enjoying yourself
