Ennui Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
'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
The lyrics to Ennui's song Cry speak of the pain and heartbreaking realities of growing up in a world where children are treated like adults and suffer from the weight of adult responsibilities. The song talks about two different scenarios, one involving a 14-year-old girl who is preyed on by a much older man who manipulates her into thinking that he cares for her, and the other involving a baby who is left alone by her parents and suffers from neglect and a tragic accident.
In the first scenario, the song paints a picture of a young girl who is taken advantage of by an older man who uses her to fulfill his own selfish desires. Despite being just a child, she is made to feel like she has to live up to certain expectations and standards set by society, which leaves her vulnerable and unable to recognize the signs of a toxic relationship. The song further highlights the lack of support or intervention from her parents or the community, leaving her to fend for herself.
In the second scenario, the song speaks to the plight of a baby who is left alone by her parents, who are too consumed by their own struggles to provide for their child. The baby suffers an accident, which serves as a wake-up call for the parents and the community as a whole to take better care of children and show them more love and support.
Overall, the song implores people to be more mindful of the way they treat children and to take responsibility for their well-being. It speaks to the need for society to provide more support and resources for children and to hold adults accountable for their actions that may harm children.

Nothin' but abandoned buildings look at the way my people living
Many people live in poverty and are surrounded by dilapidated buildings

Despite visiting various places, the artist has encountered people who are not happy
You got to get it together so your life can be much better

This is going out to all the little 'round the world
This message is for all the young people around the world

We, as a community, need to show love and care to our children
You don't have to cry no more, don't cry
We can work on improving our situation and stop feeling sad
