don't cry
봄 Lyrics

Baby don't cry
Do not cry, stay strong

I hope you got your head up
I hope you are being optimistic

Even when the road is hard, never give up
Do not give up even when life is difficult

Keep ya head up
Remain positive and hopeful

Now here's a story 'bout a woman with dreams
Here is a tale about a woman who had high aspirations

So picture perfect at thirteen, an ebony queen
She was flawless and beautiful at a young age

Beneath the surface it was more than just a crooked smile
There was more to her than just an outward appearance of a smile

Nobody knew about her secret so it took a while
She had a hidden trauma that she never spoke about

I could see a tear fall slow down her black cheek
A tear trickled down her face

Sheddin' quiet tears in the back seat
She was silently crying in the car

So when she asked me: "What would you do if it was you?"
She asked me for advice

Couldn't answer such a horrible pain to live through
I had no answer for such a painful situation

I tried to trade places in the tragedy
I attempted to imagine myself in her shoes

I couldn't picture three crazed niggas grabbin' me
I could not imagine being attacked by three men

For just a moment I was trapped in the pain
For a split second, I felt her pain

Lord, come and take me
I wished for death

Four niggas violated
She was violated by four men

They chased, and they raped me
She was pursued and sexually assaulted

Even though it wasn't me, I could feel the grief
Even though I didn't experience it, I still felt the pain

Thinkin' with your brains blown that would make the pain go
Suicide is not the solution

No! You got to find a way to survive
You must keep going and find a way to live

'Cause they win when your soul dies
The perpetrators succeed when they destroy your spirit

Forget him, girl, (forget him, girl) he ain't gon' never change
Do not hold onto a man who will never change

I ain't no hater, but that nigga lost in the game
I am not trying to hate, but he is invested in a certain lifestyle

After the bright lights and big thangs
After the glamour fades away

He probably could love you, but he in love with the struggle
He may care for you, but he loves the challenges

Everyday, his mind on gettin mo' (gettin' mo')
He is always focused on making more money

And never your feelings, he's chasin' millions fo' sho'
He is not interested in your emotions; he is focused on making a lot of money

Uh oh (uh oh), now you 'bout to have his baby? (damn)
Oh no, you are pregnant with his child

Another wild-ass nigga that's gon' drive you crazy
He is just like other irresponsible men

You got too much mo' livin' to do
You have so much life ahead of you

I'm spittin' this to you
I am telling you

'Cause you deserve more than what he givin' to you (that's right)
You deserve better than what he offers

Beautiful, black, precious, and complicated
You are stunning, valuable, and intricate

A new millennium dime-piece, so fine she
A gorgeous woman of the new era

Got 'em all stuck, standin' still when she come through
Everyone is mesmerized when she walks in a room

Baby, take a little mo' time
Take more time to find the right person

Love'll find you and show us the sky's blue
You will find love and feel joy again

Somebody other than me gon' give you everything you need, feel me? (Don't cry)
Someone else will fulfill your needs

You'll be alright
You will be okay

I'm tryin' to do all that I can, from jump
I am doing my best for you

Now you losin', you was choosin' the wrong man
You made a mistake by choosing the wrong man

Dealt the wrong hand, you was young and beautiful
You were dealt a bad hand, despite being young and attractive

Lost and turned out, what you let that nigga do to you? (Damn)
You are lost and traumatized due to what he did to you

I knew her since elementary, she blew a kiss to me
I have known her since we were in elementary school, and she once blew me a kiss

Wrote me a note in crayon, wantin' to get with me
She wrote me a note in crayon expressing interest in me

We was kids, now she got three kids
We were children, now she has three children

They see their father e'ryday, and they don't know who he is
Her children see their father every day but do not know him

Seen him last night, homey roll a E-class
I saw him last night, driving an E-class Mercedes

Mad cheese in the stash, still a deadbeat dad
He has a lot of money in his possession but neglects his duties as a father

I bring her Pampers and food, just to stop through
I visit her with baby supplies and food

But those ain't my seeds, nothin' really I could do (nah)
The children are not mine, so my options are limited

I feel pity for you, you ain't even his wife
I feel sorry for you, as you are not even his wife

Seventeen with three kids
She had three children at the age of seventeen

Locked down for life
She is trapped in her current situation for the rest of her life

Shoulda chose me
She should have picked me instead

She 'bout to O.D. from the pressure
She is overwhelmed and may overdose due to the stress

Hell nah, I won't let her
No, I will not allow her to suffer alone

For all the ladies (Soulshock, Karlin)
This is for all the women out there

Alright?
