Gangsta's Cry (feat. BJ the Chicago Kid)

No, no, no (no-no-no, no-no)
No, no, no (no-no-no, no)
Put my all in it, uh (yeah)

Have you ever seen a gangsta cry? (Have you ever seen a gangsta cry?)
It ain't nothin' wrong with seeing gangstas cry
It ain't nothin' wrong with seeing gangstas cry (let it out)
I see nothin' wrong with seeing gangstas cry

I see nothin' wrong with seeing gangstas cry

I stayed up the longest when my nigga died
I poured up some more, so I can stop from cryin'
Relapsed after quittin' like my second time
But I know I just wanna numb the pain that's inside
I know I just wanna clear the rage in my mind
My younger days, will I still feel the same all the time?

Growin', granny used to yell my name all the time
Like the same as if I'm on the stage yellin' lines
And I might surprise you, but I never tell you lies
If you knew what I knew, just be thankful you alive
Grown men game, now we racin' with the wise (no, no, no, no, no)
He ain't bein' patient, now he facin' his demise

This shit what you make it
Popped out every day with my head high in the field, even though I'm achin'
Honestly, I never thought I'd take shit where I'm takin' it
I was way too busy on some fuck shit, I wasn't chasin' it
Now I'm drivin' that shit real fast like I'm racin' it
Guess I'm tryna duck my past, had enough of facin' it (no-no-no, no)
Nigga still won't test my gangsta tho', he know I'm acin' it
I deserve myself a victory so much, I'm tastin' it (no-no-no, no-no)
This for all of mine (yeah)

How I cry whole ride, folks funeral?
That day, a nigga would've died if I did what I used to do
Wanna stop myself, I try, said I will, I lied
Swear I ain't did nothin' all these years but that shit's still inside
Won't advise you live the street life 'less you wanna die

Can't come on no hits with us unless you wanna drive
That boy young and full of pain, look him in the eyes
All he know is gang bang, that's why his Sox hat to the side
Whole war was a game changer, they hit Lil Rock on the nine
And of course we still gon' slide, but I'll be cryin' for one of mine

Ra and Roshawn only 16 this year, now they totin' iron
But been losin' loved ones since a baby, how they gon' decide?
Love the streets so much, I cry to ma, "Why I can't go outside?"
Hidin' pistols in the house, puttin' on my side to go outside
Since I lost Cap, been full of anger, homicide stay on my mind
I adapted, if everybody savage, how I'm gon' survive? (Yeah)
