One Good Time

Just give me one good time
Nobody's looking at me, anyway
Nobody's looking at me, anyway
Yo, yo

I know that I'm hardcore
Know how to start wars
Know how to scar yours in a fist fight
'Cause toughness is our floor
Warriors that bar nor
But this one is far tore up on this night
Some people show it and then some people hide it
But other people, they do it whenever they get excited, but me
I can't even do it when the wrong's all mine
I'm saying I've been trying to do it for a long-long time
I get jealous when I see people do it and it's like fluid

I'm thinking, "How can they swallow that?"
When I can't even chew it
I guess God seen it fit to label me the consoler
Bestowed upon a broken show and forever be the shoulder
My mission is plain to see
It's freaking insanity
I'm wishing the pain in me would just leave me, why can't it be?
Simple 'cause on the real
This one could die
So I'm asking God, before I go
Just give me one good cry

If I could cry maybe one good time, I could wash away all my pain
And maybe free my mind
After my shows, it's a lonely road
So I sit up all by myself trying to cleanse my soul

Nobody's looking at me, anyway
Just give me one good time
Nobody's looking at me, anyway

Why I got to be the one to cheer up people 'til they clear up?
When I sneeze, I tear up and then I go look in a mirror
So I can see how it looks
When I really wanna know how it feels
When I'm hella down, I try to push
No matter how hard, no water spills for real
My patience is soon to go
Waiting for the balloon to blow
I'm thinking back to when I used to go to funerals
No matter how close we were
On the inside, it ached, wow
Others be losing it, I'm wishing I could break down
And I been through a lot of them
And there's not a one that went on and got it done
No moisture that even try even to come
And this ain't no chump thing, 'cause I've had enough pain
Tears should be running like mustangs, man, it must rain
Been trying for years, but the crying been inside
And N9na so serious, there ain't no lying in his eyes
And it makes me so furious when I look and I'm in genocide
Please let me break down with the pain I felt when Brian Dennis died, one time

If I could cry maybe one good time, I could wash away all my pain
And maybe free my mind
After my shows, it's a lonely road
So I sit up all by myself trying to cleanse my soul

Nobody's looking at me, anyway
Just give me one good time
Nobody's looking at me, anyway

I look at actors and crying, it's as easy as fondue
But what do you do when extreme hurt is upon you?
Real life ain't no movie, homie
And this ain't John Woo
But I almost lost it on the ending of Jon Q
And I almost lost it when Jennifer Hudson blew
But I'm still waiting for that real emotion to come through
Then maybe I could get a cry, God, maybe one, two?
Been red for life, and for the first time ever, me want blue (What?)
Give me the blues, sometimes I turn on the news and I
Look at all these feuds
Then I try to make them ooze
(Don't cry, no teardrops from your eye
Poerty's music oh my, almost made me tear up
About thinking about my children, no lie)
Maybe I'm black-hearted
You thinking, "Damn, he shady"
Or saying, "Man, he crazy" for the way I abandon me lady
One day she can repay me
Yes, that woman can betray me
Then I'll probably cry, if not than I do it if I win me a Grammy, maybe

If I could cry maybe one good time, I could wash away all my pain
And maybe free my mind
After my shows, it's a lonely road
So I sit up all by myself trying to cleanse my soul

Nobody's looking at me, anyway
Just give me one good time
Nobody's looking at me, anyway
