Donell Jones - Cry lyrics
[Donell Jones - Cry lyrics]
She was 14 and he was 24
Shorty claimed she never had sex before
He's driving Benz and got a lot of dough
He takes her to the movies
And buys her Nikes, yo
Immature, she think that she got it all
Ain't even recognizing the signs
Of a booty call
Better listen to what I'm telling y'all
Gotta show her what she's worth
It makes me wanna cry
'Cause the shorty's being treated
Just like a woman it makes me wanna cry
'Cause her parents ain't even
Trying to confront him it makes me wanna cry
Black people
We need to show our children a little loving
It makes me wanna cry
Get back in the church, read your Bibles
Get out the struggle
It makes me wanna cry (Ooh, ooh)
Momma's trickin' to feed the baby, yo
'Cause daddy took the money and
Put it up his nose
He hit's the hustler up for some credit, yo
But never took the time to
Go buy some baby clothes
She's so adorable but she's on her own
Three months old and they left her home alone
Fire breaks out the little baby burns
Tell me when will we learn?
It makes me wanna cry
'Cause the baby didn't ask
For all this trouble it makes me wanna cry
'Cause the parents didn't see
This baby suffer
It makes me wanna cry, oh yeah black people
We need to show our children a little loving
Makes me wanna cry
Get back in the church and read your Bibles
Get out the struggle it makes me wanna cry
Yo, yo, listen up
'Cause, I done been all around the world
Every city has a ghetto
It makes me wanna cry (Cry)
Nothin' but abandoned buildings
Look at the way my people living
It makes me wanna cry (Cry)
Done been to so many places
Don't see no smile up on they faces
It makes me wanna cry (Cry)
You got to get it together so
Your life can be much better (Oh, cry)
This is going out to all
The hoods around the world
Don't it make you wanna cry? (Cry)
'Cause black people we need to
Got to show our children some lovin'
(Cry) You gotta get back in
Church and study the word
'Cause you know it will save ya
(Cry) 'Cause you don't have to cry
You don't have to cry no more
(Cry) , don't cry
You don't have to cry no more
(Cry) , don't cry
You don't have to cry no more
(Cry) , don't cry
You don't have to cry no more
(Cry) , don't cry (Cry)
