YOU BET NOT CRY

Lyrics

[Chorus: Torey D'Shaun, Ishiah & Both] And we cry and we cry And we cry and weep (Oh, yeah) And we cry and we weep And we cry and we weep And we cry and we weep And we seek Your face (Oh) [Post-Chorus: Torey D'Shaun & Ishiah] And we seek Your face (Oh) We seek Your face (Oh) Can we seek Your face? (Oh) [Verse 1: Torey D'Shaun] Tellin' myself you better not (Uh) Tellin' myself you better not cry Tellin' myself you better not cry Gotta be strong, don't let it all out Boy, you a man, your strength don't die Never let nobody know you weak Keep a eye open even when you sleep Tell 'em it don't hurt even when you get beat Even when you and your brother relationship fadin' and nobody know it but y'all Even when you tellin' people you slackin' in prayer, but you know you ain't prayin' at all Even when your mama needed your help, but you couldn't do it 'cause you couldn't help yourself Even when all of your friends start havin' they kids and now you're the only one left Even when cappin' is all in your blood Even when waves start turnin' to floods Even when your Bible sit in the corner abandoned and God is no longer your love Thought I was above questioning God, I look to the sky like, "Abba, why?" I don't wanna pray, I already tried, You left me on seen, You didn't reply You got all the wisdom, I'm only human, I know that I'm wrong, I know that I'm wrong But this how I'm feelin', you told me be honest, and David taught me how to put it in song Really I'm sensitive, really I'm weak, really, I'm the one that can't be left alone Givin' out hugs as tight as I can and knowin' I really ain't strong [Chorus: Torey D'Shaun, Ishiah & Both] And we cry, and we cry And we cry and weep (Oh) And we cry and we weep And we cry and we weep And we cry and we weep But we seek Your face [Verse 2: Torey D'Shaun] Tellin' myself you better not, uh, tellin' myself, "Boy, wipe your face" Don't show no pain while you in this state If you bent out of shape, you just tell 'em you straight Look in the mirror and straighten your back And carry your baggage and leave it at that Let it just sit, let it burn through your fit Take a trip, get a drink, go to sleep and forget Even when God is forgivin', but people ain't willin', so you put yourself on the shelf Even when you need it bad but you never was taught to go and start callin' for help Even when ever since your daddy died, it killed you inside and crippled your stride Even when you ain't like none of your friends, know 'bout the funeral 'cause you was too scared And I'm seein' you cry, didn't even want your boy on the phone God, if you listenin', I know You listenin', You and Jesus, please put Your headphones in for this song Really, I'm sensitive, really I'm weak, got a bunch of friends, but still feel alone Givin' out hugs as tight as I can And knowin' I really ain't [Chorus: Torey D'Shaun, Ishiah & Both] And we cry and we cry And we cry and weep (Weep) And we cry and we weep And we cry and we weep And we cry and we weep And we seek Your face [Verse 3: Ishiah] Regardless of the pain, I have Heaven as my gain Leave it all alone, leave it at Your throne I am finally home Ooh, regardless of the pain, I've ever stood again Leave me all alone, leave me at Your throne Leave me to seek Your face Oh, oh, this is not my home, this is no-no-no-no-not my home No-no-no-no-not my home God above the heavens I'm not alone I'm not alone, not alone, not alone I'm not alone, not alone, I'm not alone Not alone, not alone, I'm not alone
