A Crying Heart
Killah Priest Lyrics

Let he who have sin, sin no more
Stop sinning if you have sinned before.

Tired of kicking in doors, shootouts, blood and gang wars
Sick and tired of all the violence and gang activity.

Chainsaws, tied up spouses, cocaine laws
Referring to the violent behaviors and regulation of drugs.

Hawaiian outfits with SKs that bloodstain walls
Referring to the attire worn by those who engage in violence.

Till you're losing ounces, niggas see the life that drug game calls
The life of a drug dealer is perceived as glamorous until the drug dealer's profits start decreasing.

You're crying fountains on the calls, saying, 'Please, she's only four'
Families of those involved in criminal activity are often affected by the repercussions of their loved one's actions.

Pleading the merciless men that murder your kin
Begging for mercy from those who have no mercy and are responsible for killing family members.

Sending you threats over the phone and they murder again
Even after receiving threats, the violent actors continue to carry out murders.

Now you either make the payments or funeral arrangement
Those who are involved in illegal activity are forced to pay a price that could lead to their death or the death of loved ones.

Contemplating, federal building put their name in a statement
Those involved in illegal activity risk exposure by testifying in federal buildings.

Poor choices, take this like the gem from the pearl of oysters
People involved in criminal activity make poor choices that affect their lives.

Still wet on my tongue, rep where you're from
Talk about where you're from until you die.

And your boy just see real niggas respected
Real people are respected because of their character and values.

Deliver this message to the dumb and the deceased
Spread the message to all those who can't understand or hear it.

We all from the streets, made they rest in peace
We all come from the streets and hope those who have died rest in peace.

While I wreck this beat with techniques
Making music with my unique style and skill.

Resurrect speech with flows are deep in soul
Reviving my speech with a powerful flow that's heartfelt.

I tell Ms. Rahman, I'm sorry what happened that evening
Apologizing for what happened to Ms. Rahman.

But it was Tone; his name came up now we even
Tone is responsible for what happened to Ms. Rahman.

And Mr. James I wish I could change, but Todd
Wishing that Todd hadn't done what he did to Mr. James.

Shouldn't of did what he did, you can't blame Rob
Rob isn't responsible for what Todd did.

And Ms. Stevens, what can I say? A close call
Not much to say about Ms. Stevens, but it was a close call.

But it wasn't me you visit at the morgue
I wasn't the one who ended up dead and you had to visit my body.

When they killed Spark that night, my heart went to the right
Feeling devastated when Spark was killed.

My chest got tight, that was a hard one to fight
Emotions are overwhelming and hard to manage.

Hood mysteries that no one could figure out
Mysteries in the community that remain unsolved.

Plain and simple, facts were there
The truth is clear and evident.

Going through packs of beer
Drinking a lot of alcohol.

Make me run to the roof; let the Mac off in the air
Feeling the urge to let out frustration and shoot a gun.

You was always strapped, gave me dap then threw up the pairs
Always had a gun on hand and gave me a fist bump before throwing up gang signs.

Like yeah, I missed those years, I dish out tears
Nostalgic for the old times and crying about it.

Strange dreams at night make me wish you was here
Nightmares about what could have been if someone was still alive.

Tommy you should have watched your back
Tommy was not being careful enough and ended up getting hurt.

Instead he let them niggas plot and then form an attack
Tommy let his guard down and allowed the enemy to plan an attack.

His shots echo, bounced off the building in the ghetto
Gunshots were fired and could be heard throughout the community.

Mass genocide, inner-city children of the borough
Genocidal behavior affects the children of the community.

And Mr. John, I did what I did 'cause of revolution
Revolutionary actions were taken in the name of change.

You're damn near sixty, may you lay next to Newton
May Mr. John die and be remembered like Isaac Newton.

The dollar bill, 'In God We Trust'
Keeping faith in God through the use of currency.

Does God stand for Guns, Oil, & Drugs they gave to us?
Questioning whether the values of God align with those who are responsible for distributing weapons, oil, and drugs.
