Cry No More

I don't want to cry or lie or die no more
I just want to rise and fly and float and soar
I don't want to cry or lie or die no more
I just want to rise and fly through that open door

Daddy's little girl, apple of his eye
A beginning so happy, ending make you cry
There was guy
He was fifteen, she was eight
She thought he was great
Confused was that rape
Always felt ashamed and tricked
She didn't want to be fondled, or play with his dick
She never said shit
To her parents, held it in
A couple of Perc's and some Beer and some Gin
Gettin it in
To forget
Now regret after regret
Downward spin
Couldn't find Oxy's, found her heroin
A bundle of that Boy
But believe me that's no bundle of joy, or a toy
There's not enough drugs in this whole entire world
That will ever bring back that little girl
This whirl a fentanyl swirl
She fell out
Scared, her friends broke the hell out
Shot of Narcan
Too late, didn't work fam
Damn

I don't want to cry or lie or die no more
I just want to rise and fly and float and soar
I don't want to lie or cry or die no more
I just want to rise and fly through that open door

Grew up in a party household, family as a whole
Most functioning, had it under control
He saw the old
Heads have a few, and become happy, cooler
So he snuck in the cooler
And chugged a wine cooler
He fell in love with the buzz and the taste
Went for guzzling forty's, to killin a case
Now it's bottles to the face
He's slippin out of place
Dog's on a tail chase
At a rapid pace, reckless
Screwdrivers for breakfast
Beer for lunch
Happy Hour jungle punch
By dinner in the corner, balled, scrunched
Up tore
Waking up on another random floor
Knocking on Heaven's Door
He doesn't really care if he lives anymore
A straight poop butt
Liver all chewed up
Hepatitis, Cirrhosis
Unkept, Halitosis
Da Nile is a river once traveled by Moses
Diagnosis, damage no reverse osmosis
Reality sober
Party's over

I don't want to cry or lie or die no more
I just want to rise and fly and float and soar
I don't want to cry or lie or die no more
I just want to rise and fly through that open door

His pops was a drunk
A punk
Who beat his Mother up, while he watched
She couldn't take it
Handful of sleeping pills, she didn't make it
Now he's the vic
Getting punched and kicked
He's out of there
Runaway, foster care
He could have gotten lost in there
But he played a lot of ball when there
To try and cover up the recurring images graphic, scenic
He had a new vision, plan strategic
Scholarship, collegiate
Graduated drafted, rising like the Phoenix
Checkered past, chess future, Kings at his zenith
One night on the town, in a limo
His teammate said, try a little blow
He felt so powerful, he could let it all go
Oh no, he's gonna let it all go
Easy slow, you're hitting speed bumps
Kicked of the team within three months
Homeless, hopeless, depressed
Rockman got him, he took a ten piece to the chest
Couldn't catch his breath
Skull emoji, Cardiac Arrest

I don't want to cry or lie or die no more
I just want to rise and fly and float and soar
I don't want to cry or lie or die no more
I just want to rise and fly through that open door
