Why Cry

I heard it said, blessed are they who mourn

Weep for a night, joy comes in the morn'

I done lived it to the limit so when I'm gone

Don't cry for me, cry when a baby born

When a baby born, cry when a baby born

Weep for a night, joy comes in the morn'

This is on behalf of every chain that we adorn

Don't cry for me, cry when a baby born

I heard'em say that dat Malice done come a long way

From that gas stove where the fire burn like Pompeii

Where the fiend cook it like Flambè

Mexican connect coppin' coka off of mi hombre

That narco, selling it wit no barcode

Wreaking havoc, proportions that only God knows

Nothing like a flip to get rid of that car note

These bad habits, don't pick 'em up that's bar soap

Out of that dark hole, the light shineth

The one, that once slung rock like the Goliath

Only the Highest can deliver you from hell fire

Give you purpose and a head that's held higher

My desire is not bent on that dollar sign

A different cloth cut, I am of that other kind

We all sin, but don't be the devil concubine

My message aimed at the kids like it's Columbine

I heard it said, blessed are they who mourn

Weep for a night, joy comes in the morn'

I done lived it to the limit, so when I'm gone

Don't cry for me, cry when a baby born

When a baby born, cry when a baby born

Weep for a night, joy comes in the morn'

This is on behalf of every chain that we adorn

Don't cry for me, cry when a baby born

A crying shame all this need to acquire fame

A bad chic, with every stitch a designer name

I'm on a higher plain, still a boss, that don't change

Still in that German whip, peel off like auf wIedersehen

We the same, nah, not even in your dream

Look younger than I did then, I done got a clean slate

Run circles 'round youngin like it's teen skate

For too long, y'all done made the real seem fake

Seem I can't escape it, everywhere hearing heresay

I'm Obama, y'all effin' up my legacy

Knowin' you a king, can't be out here acting beggardly

All I did was trust and doors open, sesame

Aledgedly, push poison from my connects

Bell Biv Devoe, except I had better dance steps

One of the many things I get to add to my regrets

Never a dollar, would I ever trade for my respect

I heard it said, blessed are they who mourn

Weep for a night, joy comes in the morn'

I done lived it to the limit, so when I'm gone

Don't cry for me, cry when a baby born

When a baby born, cry when a baby born

Weep for a night, joy comes in the morn'

This is on behalf of every chain that we adorn

Don't cry for me, cry when a baby born
