don't cry
Mini and 顾儿 Lyrics

Baby don't cry
Don't worry and please don't be upset

I hope you got your head up
I hope you are staying positive

Even when the road is hard, never give up
Even when times are tough, don't give up on yourself

Now here's a story 'bout a woman with dreams
Let me tell you a story about a woman with aspirations

So picture perfect at thirteen, an ebony queen
She was beautiful and confident at thirteen, a true queen

Beneath the surface it was more than just a crooked smile
Despite her smile, she was struggling with something deep within

Nobody knew about her secret so it took a while
She kept her secret hidden, and it took a long time for anyone to find out

I could see a tear fall slow down her black cheek
I saw a tear slowly fall down her face

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

So when she asked me: "What would you do if it was you?"
She wanted to know how I would handle her situation

Couldn't answer such a horrible pain to live through
I couldn't imagine experiencing such a terrible ordeal

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

I couldn't picture three crazed niggas grabbin' me
I couldn't even fathom being violently attacked by multiple people

For just a moment I was trapped in the pain
I was briefly overwhelmed by the thought of that kind of pain

Lord, come and take me
I wished to be taken away from that pain

Four niggas violated
She was assaulted by four individuals

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

Even though it wasn't me, I could feel the grief
While it didn't happen to me, I felt her pain and sadness

Thinkin' with your brains blown that would make the pain go
She thought that ending her life would ease her suffering

No! You got to find a way to survive
However, you have to keep fighting and find a way to survive

'Cause they win when your soul dies
If you give up, the people who hurt you will have won

Forget him, girl, (forget him, girl) he ain't gon' never change
Stop thinking about him, he will never change

I ain't no hater, but that nigga lost in the game
I'm not trying to be negative, but he's too focused on the wrong things

After the bright lights and big thangs
Even after achieving success and fame

He probably could love you, but he in love with the struggle
He might care for you, but he's more concerned with his own struggles

Everyday, his mind on gettin mo' (gettin' mo')
All he thinks about is getting more money and success

And never your feelings, he's chasin' millions fo' sho'
He's not concerned about your emotions, he's only focused on making more money

Uh oh (uh oh), now you 'bout to have his baby? (damn)
Now you're having his child?

Another wild-ass nigga that's gon' drive you crazy
And he's just another crazy person who will drive you mad

You got too much mo' livin' to do
You have a lot more life to experience

I'm spittin' this to you
I'm saying this to you

'Cause you deserve more than what he givin' to you (that's right)
You deserve someone who will treat you better than he does

Beautiful, black, precious, and complicated
You are beautiful, valuable, and complex

A new millennium dime-piece, so fine she
You are an amazing woman, shining brightly in the new millennium

Got 'em all stuck, standin' still when she come through
Everyone stops and stares when you enter a room

Baby, take a little mo' time
Take a little more time to find what you truly deserve

Love'll find you and show us the sky's blue
You will find love and happiness and see the bright sky

Somebody other than me gon' give you everything you need, feel me? (Don't cry)
Someone else will come into your life and give you everything you need, don't cry

I'm tryin' to do all that I can, from jump
I'm doing everything that I can to help 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 unlucky and young, yet still beautiful

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

I knew her since elementary, she blew a kiss to me
I've known her for a long time, she even blew a kiss to me in elementary school

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

We was kids, now she got three kids
We were just children, but 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 they don't even know who he is

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

Mad cheese in the stash, still a deadbeat dad
He has a lot of money saved up, but he's still an absent father

I bring her Pampers and food, just to stop through
I bring her diapers and food, just to visit her

But those ain't my seeds, nothin' really I could do (nah)
But those aren't my children, there's not much I can do to help her

I feel pity for you, you ain't even his wife
I feel sorry for you, since you're not even his wife

Seventeen with three kids
You're just seventeen with three children

Locked down for life
You're locked into this situation for life

Shoulda chose me
You should have picked me instead

She 'bout to O.D. from the pressure
She's about to overdose due to the pressure she's under

Hell nah, I won't let her
There's no way I'll let that happen to her

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

Got to keep your head up {keep your head up}
You have to stay positive

Makaveli the Don (Head up) Aight?
The artist Makaveli the Don wants you to stay strong and keep your head up
