Cry
E. Hamton Lyrics

Look in my eyes you blood in my tears
My eyes reveal my pain and struggles that have caused me to shed tears.

They always tell me this & that but i don’t hear
People give me advice and opinions, but I choose to ignore them.

My mama told me always trust yo heart not what they feel
My mother has taught me to follow my instincts and not to be swayed by other people's emotions.

And if they switch just know you always kept it real
If others change their perspective or loyalty, I remain true to myself and my values.

I guess it’s just me oh I
I feel alone in my struggles and do not receive support from others.

They sold me dreams that was a lie
People promised me a better future or opportunities, but they did not come to fruition.

My doggy died that’s my heart died
The death of my beloved pet has caused me immense grief and emotional pain.

Now y’all gone listen to my soul cry
I express my innermost feelings through my music and evoke empathy from others.

I'm ona road flying
I am proceeding towards my goals and aspirations at a fast pace.

I over think I get spaced out when I get dull time
When I have idle time, I tend to overanalyze my thoughts and detach from my surroundings.

I seen some shit it scarred my eyes like I went more blind
I have witnessed and experienced traumatic events that have left a lasting impact on my psyche.

I came from nothing but I did something I deserve more shine
Despite not having a privileged upbringing, I have accomplished much and deserve recognition for my achievements.

Mama always tell me you got to do better
My mother encourages me to strive for excellence and improve upon my past actions.

Pops telling me these niggas be jealous
My father warns me that others may envy my success and try to bring me down.

Sit back & listen that’s when niggas show true colors
Observing others in their natural state reveals their true intentions and character.

(And yea they do)
Indeed, people's true colors are often revealed when they do not expect to be observed.

They like the last one so I just repeat the weather
People enjoy my previous works and expect me to continue producing content in that vein.

That’s a storm
My life is tumultuous and characterized by many hardships and challenges.

I was walking no umbrella
I am facing adversity without protection or support.

I was peeping they got jealous
I recognized that others were envious of my success and accomplishments.

When I finally got some lettuce
Once I achieved financial stability and success, I became the target of jealousy from others.

I put my foot down I won’t let up
I am determined to continue pursuing my goals and refuse to be deterred or defeated.

Long live Craig they won’t forget him
I pay homage to my friend who has passed away and vow to remember him always.

Disrespect you gone feel metal
If others insult or disrespect me, they will face consequences and retaliation.

You know the business
I am well-informed and knowledgeable about the situation at hand.

Don’t follow them you got to make your own discussions
I advise others to think for themselves and make their own decisions rather than blindly following the crowd.

I ain’t no role model but I can make them listen
While I may not be a perfect or exemplary figure, I have a compelling story and voice that can captivate and inspire others.

Make a change or you’ll be sitting inside a prison
I urge others to take control of their lives and chart a positive path, lest they be trapped by their circumstances and end up incarcerated.

That’s when they gone show you real love
When I am at my lowest and most vulnerable, true allies and supportive individuals will reveal themselves.

It ain’t no real love though
Despite the affection and encouragement offered during difficult times, some of these supportive individuals may not have my best interests at heart.

I been through so much shit I can write book
My life experiences have been tumultuous and impactful enough to be worthy of a book-length memoir.

I’ma’ just rap my soul though
Rather than writing a memoir, I choose to express my feelings and experiences through my music.
