Wu-Tang Clan - Tearz lyrics

After laughter comes tears

Check the script
Me and the gods gettin' ripped
Blunts in the dip, forty dogs in my lip
Had a box, 'boom boom' the bass would blast
We was laughin' at all the girls that passed
Conversation, brothers had began to discuss
(Hey yo, Rob, remember that kid you bust?)
Aw yeah, he ran, but he didn't get far
'Cause, I dropped him, heh heh heh heh heh ha
Not knowin' exactly what lied ahead
My little brother
My mother sent him out for bread
Get the Wonder, it's a hot day in the summer
Didn't expect to come across a crazy gunner
"Hey, Shorty, check it
Run the bag and the dough!"
But he was brave, looked him in the eye
And said "No!" money splattered him
BOW! Then he snatched the bag
Hit his pockets, then he jetted up the Ave
Girls screamin'
The noise up and down the block
(Hey, Rakeem) What? (Your little
Brother got shot) i ran frantically
Then I dropped down to his feet
I saw the blood all over the hot concrete
I picked him up, then I held him by his head
His eyes shut, that's when I knew he was
Aw man! How do I say goodbye?
It's always the good ones that have to die
Memories in the corner of my mind
Flashbacks, of us laughin' all the time
I taught him all about the bees and birds
But, I wish I had a chance
To sing these three words

After laughter comes tears

Me and my man
My ace Big Moe from the shelter
'Bout to hit the skins from
This girl named Thelma
Now, Thelma had a rep that
Was higher than her neck
Every girl from Shaolin dissed her respect
We was stimmy
You know how it is when you're blitzed
Three o'clock in the mornin'
Somethin' got to give
Moe said he'll go first
I said I'll take next
Here, take this raincoat and
Practice safe sex!
He seemed to ignore, I said, "Be for real!
She's not even worth it to go raw deal"
A man's gonna do what a man's gonna do
He got butt naked and stuck the power U
Twenty minutes went by, Moe
I'm out without a doubt
I'm not pumpin' up, I am airin' out
Hey yo, he came out laughin' with glory
I'm surprised he's still livin'
To tell his story
But he carried on with the same old stuff
With Stephanie, like a Whammy
He pressed his luck
Moe tried to be down with OPP
Ain't nothin' wrong
But he got caught with the HIV
Now no life to live, doc says two more years
So after the laughter I guess comes the tears

After laughter comes tears
