I'm crying everyone's tears (Baby don't cry) And there inside our private war I died the night before (Yeah) And all of these remnants of joy and disaster What am I suppose to do
(Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up Even when the road is hard, never give up Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up Even when the road is hard, never give up)
I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul But nothing would change, nothing would change at all It's just a day that brings it all about Just another day and nothing's any good
The DJ's playing the same song (C'mon c'mon) I have so much to do I have to carry on I wonder if this grief will ever let me go I feel like I am the king of sorrow, yeah The king of sorrow
(Now here's a story bout a woman with dreams So picture perfect at thirteen, an ebony queen Beneath the surface it was more than just a crooked smile Nobody knew about her secret so it took a while I could see a tear fall slow down her black cheek Sheddin quiet tears in the back seat; so when she asked me, "What would you do if it was you?" Couldn't answer such a horrible pain to live through I tried to trade places in the tragedy I couldn't picture three crazed n*ggaz grabbin me For just a moment I was trapped in the pain, Lord come and take me Four n*ggaz violated, they chased and they raped me Even though it wasn't me, I could feel the grief Thinkin with your brains blown that would make the pain go No! You got to find a way to survive cause they win when your soul dies
(Baby please don't cry)
The DJ's playing the same song (You got to keep your head up) I have so much to do (Even when the road is hard, never give up) I wonder if this grief will ever let me go I feel like I am the king of sorrow, yeah The king of sorrow
I'm crying everyone's tears I have already paid for all my future sins There's nothing anyone Can say to take this away It's just another day and nothing's any good
(Baby don't cry I'm tryin to do all that I can, from jump Now you losin, you was choosin the wrong man Dealt the wrong hand, you was young and beautiful Lost and turned out, what you let that n*ggaza do to you? (Damn) I knew her since elementary, she blew a kiss to me Wrote me a note in crayon, wantin to get with me We was kids, now she got three kids They see their father e'ryday, and they don't know who he is Seen him last night, homey roll a E-class Mad cheese in the stash, still a deadbeat dad I bring her, Pampers and food, just to stop through but those, ain't my seeds, nuttin really I could do (nah) I feel pity for you, you ain't even his wife Seventeen with three kids, locked down for life Shoulda chose me, she bout to O.D. from the pressure)
I suppose I could just walk away Will I disappoint my future if I stay It's just a day that brings it all about Just another day and nothing's any good
The DJ's playing the same song I have so much to do I have to carry on I wonder will this grief ever be gone Will it ever go I'm the king of sorrow, yeah The king of sorrow
(Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up Even when the road is hard, never give up Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up Even when the road is hard, never give up)
