Stronger
L.U.S.T Lyrics

Baby don't cry no more
Stop shedding tears and feeling sorrowful, baby

Wipe those motherfucking tears from your eyes
Remove the tears forcefully from your eyes

No more tears, cry no more
You should not shed any more tears, stop crying from now on

I know it seems like the world is against you
I understand that it feels like the entire world is against you

Sixteen on the street on the drugs and nowhere to go home to
At the age of sixteen, you were left homeless on the streets and involved in drugs, with no place to call home

Two kids, no man, no mom to turn to
You have two children, without a partner or mother figure to rely on

Everyone that you trust hurts you
All the people you put your trust in end up causing you pain

So to yourself you keep your burden
You carry your burdens alone and don't share them with anyone else

But you keep your head up
Despite the challenges, you maintain a positive attitude

With your kids on the street looking for food to eat
You and your children are searching for food while living on the streets

Through the summertime, through the wintertime
During both the warm and cold seasons

When the freezing cold blow your mind
The freezing cold weather affects you mentally

And the tears from your eyes seal your thoughts
Your thoughts become clouded by the tears streaming from your eyes

And in your heart you keep your evil thoughts
Deep down in your heart, you hold onto negative and resentful thoughts

Cause to trust anyone you find it really hard
You find it extremely difficult to trust anyone

No matter what they say to you
Regardless of the words they speak to you

That can make you feel down
Words that have the potential to make you feel discouraged or low

No more fuck blues
All the miserable feelings and emotions are no longer present

I know sometimes you wish you were never born too
I also understand that there are times when you desire you had never been born

Suicide thoughts haunt you
Thoughts of suicide continuously trouble you

Finger on the trigger at your head you held a rifle
At one point, you had a loaded rifle pressed against your head

You're still here today cause your kids depend on you
The reason you are still alive today is because your children rely on you

Pen and paper you turn to
You resort to using pen and paper as an outlet

For sixteen years you struggle
You have been battling and enduring hardships for sixteen years

Now you're thirty-two and your book published
At the age of thirty-two, you have successfully published a book

And the world wants to know you
The world is eager to know and understand more about you

They call you role model
People refer to you as a role model

Use you as an example
They utilize you as a prime illustration

For other people struggle
To inspire others who are also facing difficulties

For all the things that you've been through
Considering all the experiences you have endured

You even break down at interview
You even start to lose composure during interviews

But you held it together
However, you managed to maintain your composure

And now you got a bestseller
And now your book has become a bestseller

Hah Ha!
Expressing joy and triumph

I know you struggle through the pain
I understand that you are battling through the pain

And through the pain you'll get your fame
Despite the pain, you will achieve fame and recognition

I know you got a name
I am aware that you have made a name for yourself

But of your past you're not ashamed
You have no shame regarding your past

To all the men that been with you
Addressing all the men who have been in your life

And everyone who curse you
And all those who have spoken ill of you

Through you're destitute you turn prostitute
Despite being in a desperate situation, you resorted to prostitution

And now you got two youth
And now you have two children

And they looking cute dressed in designer suit
Your children appear adorable, dressed in expensive clothing

But when you go to Sunday church
However, when you attend church on Sundays

And the pastor preach the words
And the pastor delivers the sermon

It's like he's preaching to you
It feels as if the pastor's words are directed specifically at you

And everyone's staring at you
Furthermore, everyone in the congregation is staring at you

But only God can judge you
Remember, only God has the ability to judge you

What you did in the past stay in the past
Leave behind the actions you committed in the past, let them remain there

And your past cannot define you
Your past experiences should not determine who you are

Did what you had to do to survive
You did whatever was necessary to stay alive

To stay alive for your kids to have a better life
You fought to survive so that your children could have a better future

No more tears cry no more
There will be no more tears, stop crying from now on
