I Hear Your Cries

I hear your cries they the same as mine
I ain't got nobody
Nobody but me
Them wounds are healing in due time
I ain't got nobody
I hear your cries they the same as mine
Nobody but me
Them wounds are healing in due time
I grew up the same as yall. Nobody at all
Who can tell me mommy ain't love me? Nobody at all
But mommy had a need, was itching and scratching for something so much stronger than weed
Damn
It may sound funny, but I did whatever I could to keep her close to me
I gave her money, supported her habit
That's a race I couldn't win like the tortoise and rabbit
Greenie was mad, but she ain't understand
Without a mother's warmth to grow up a scorned man
Heart like the coldest winter ever
The desert couldn't compare to the storms I weathered
No poncho or umbrella
I overcame it all, alhamdulillah
I miss her till I put the nail in her coffin
The streets took her from me, she's still walking
I hear your cries they the same as mine
I ain't got nobody
Nobody but me
Them wounds are healing in due time
I hear your cries they the same as mine
I ain't got nobody
Nobody but me
Them wounds are healing in due time
Papa was my superhero
But nobody, no spirit could ever take his soul away from the game
So I'm left with nobody again
Cause every time he come around he leave as quick as he came
Said the money was calling him, so I screamed louder
Had a love for some white shit, so I wore powder
No time, but he gave me presence
To be in his presence was so refreshing
So now when I get fresh I think of his presence
And I'm hoping and praying that God bless me
Cause through the tribulations and trial
My money was funny, I couldn't pay the lawyer for trial
But I hold my head up and smile
Cause I know if I could've, I would've, I should've
Listened to everything you taught me how
And if I did, I know I'd be rich right now
I hear you cries they the same as mine
I ain't got nobody
Nobody but me
Them wounds are healing in due time
I hear your cries they the same as mine
I ain't got nobody
Nobody but me
Them wounds are healing in due time
You damn right, I thought I was too good
Too good for the orphanage of the boy's home
Motherfucker, the boy's home
The boy's home
Farrock-America nigga, the boy's home
The boy's home
And still ain't got nobody at all
But my squad, we are, we are
R.I.O.T., that's right
Don't try it, I'd die if
Before betrayal you a thousand deaths
Before betrayal you a thousand deaths
CPR couldn't save you with a thousand breaths
A thousand breaths
You never gas this air
The planet's in the northern hemisphere
I hear the other niggas, them just fair
Don't worry, cause excellence is near
where
Him right here
I hear your cries they the same as mine
I ain't got nobody
Nobody but me
The wounds are healing in due time
I hear your cries they the same as mine
I ain't got nobody
Nobody but me
The wounds are healing in due time
