Cry

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I done had money And I done been broke I done been talked about something awful Done been lied on by so many folks I done even been depressed at times And didn't wanna 'cry cause my pride was too strong But over the years I thought it over And after strugglin' for so long and still holdin' on I figured, can't be nothing all that wrong with cryin' If anybody says that they're that strong, they're lyin' See cryin' is like takin' your soul through the laundromat It's like the feelin' that you get When you see your grandmama smile Or the heavens open up and blessin's rain down Go on, child, and cry Go on and cry, cry, cry Go on and cry, cry, cry We can cry, we can cry together [Verse 2] See I done been a player (Come on, come on) I done been played (Tell the truth, Lyfe, tell the truth, Lufe) I done went for some of the oldest tricks From some of the coldest chicks God done ever made, but y'all hear me Said I done even had a venereal disease (What is that? What?) And didn't wanna go to the clinic, all that attention embarrassin' me But over the years I learned to understand That I don't really give a damn what nobody says, I'm a man And we cry, oh, oh, oh-woah, yeah We cry We can cry, we can-we can cry, we can cry together, talkin' 'bout my [Bridge] Talkin' 'bout woah, woah, woah, yeah, yeah, yeah They say a man ain't supposed to cry (They say a man ain't supposed) But I know, know, know Fasho' sho', sho' That even men go through problems sometime Talkin' 'bout woah, woah, woah (Woah, woah), yeah, yeah, yeah They say a man ain't supposed to cry (Woo, but I) But I know, know, know (Know, know) Fasho' sho', sho' (Yeah) That even men go through problems sometime (I'm a man, and we cry) [Outro] Cry (Oh, oh, oh-woah) Cry Cry Cry Okay, okay Next part of the story is that After about five or six years in the joint, I had cried all I could cry And then, you know, other things was comin' to me, more spiritual things was placed upon my heart I start lookin', you know, in different places for God And I think my exact age was-I was 26 years and 17 days old
