Don't Cry

歌詞

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 Nike's yo And makes sure 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 got to 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 hits 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 brakes 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 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 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) (Cry) this is going out to all the little 'round the world Don't it make you wanna cry? Cause black people we need to, got to show our children some lovin' (Cry) you got to get back in church and study the word cause you know it will stay (Cry) you don't have to cry you don't have to cry no more, don't cry you don't have to cry no more, don't cry you don't have to cry no more, don't cry you don't have to cry no more, don't cry
