Don't Cry For Me

25th July 97
Was born into sin, in sin I will die
A legend I will retire, forever will inspire
But nothing came cheap, you gotta suffer if you try

Remember growing up, I wouldn't say we were poor
But neither were we spoiled, had to learn how to fish
For this I will learn to rely on myself
And nobody else to go and get it off the shelf

Some nights I would see, mama on her knees
As tears flow down from her cheeks, no result
Maybe that explains why you barely see me in church
Maybe I'm still mad, maybe you I don't deserve

Maybe who am I question you in the first
Maybe I'm here to serve as deterrent to the rest
Maybe you not forgiving like you think that you're
For why would you judge us based on the past

But if I go to hell, so be it I will dwell
And don't cry for me, you should cry for yourself

But if I go to hell, so be it I will dwell
And don't cry for me, you should cry for yourself

But if I go to hell, so be it I will dwell
And don't cry for me, you should cry for yourself

But if I go to hell, so be it I will dwell
And don't cry for me, you should cry for yourself

I've seen hunger many nights
I've seen brothers turn to crime
I've seen brothers end in cells
Tryna just feed themselves

I've seen love turn to hate
When the grind start to pay
I've seen brothers kiss ass
Just to get a piece of cake

I've seen what money does
Turn your boo into a slut
Seen a man lose his home
When he couldn't pay his loan

Seen my dad spend a fortune
Just to get an antidote
Seen my mama breakdown
When they laid him at home

Seen promises broke
Seen lies been told
Seen a brother turn cold
Gave his soul to a hoe

Seen what pressure do
Seen alcohol ruin
People who were once good
And gone very soon

Seen accident live
Seen father burry child
Seen man burry wife
Seen widow traumatized

Seen families fight
Over property and will
Seen my own ass depressed
Look here I am still

So if I go to hell, best believe I will dwell
And don't cry for me, you should cry for yourself

And if I go to hell, best believe I will dwell
And don't cry for me, you should cry for yourself

And if I go to hell, best believe I will dwell
And don't cry for me, you should cry for yourself

And if I go to hell, best believe I will dwell
And don't cry for me, you should cry for yourself

If I go to hell, best believe I will dwell
Cry for yourself

If I go to hell, best believe I will dwell
Cry for yourself
