YOUNG NOBLE
When I die don't say nothin'
Cause yall ain't neva loved me
If you say you did -- you frontin'
Heard you wanted to slug me
God hate ugly
But only God can judge me
Trust me -- all that fake thug love shit disgust me
Sometimes I wish these muthafuckas hurry up and bust me
Sippin' mad Henny
Rollin' my ashes in a dutchy
The world sayin' fuck me
Well fuck you too
If it ain't no love for me
Ain't no love for you
Mama always told me
These muthafuckas ain't shit
They gone when you broke
But they there when you rich
The fact is this
You need to handle ya own business
Stop ridin' all on my dick
Nowadays -- ya family be the worst fuckin' ones
It seem like to them money thicker then blood
Show me some love
A young thug need some too
Wonda' why my young souljahs walkin' around all evil

So when we die don't cry aiight (aiiight)
Cause nobody give a fuck if we die tonight
So when we die don't cry aiight (aiiight)

My deadly mission depart
From baby kitchen
While she bitchin' -- I'm already gone

Me and my niggaz gotta reach the top
Go head and complain bitch cause the game don't stop
And the world keeps spinning
And everybody in it
Keeps spinning with it
Wishing for seven digits
You plan to pay heaven a visit
But right there
That's a contradiction
Cause if you see them gates you ain't visiting -- uhh
You there to stay
No time to tell ya baby girl to wipe those tears away -- tears away
Here today and gone tomarrow
They mourn yo ass in sorrow
Yo legacy'll follow
Ya peoples is left hallow
Yeah I know
That's how the game go
Fa sho'

NAPOLEON
I woke up in the morning ta' death
Hallow from right to my left
Confusion since
When I go just lay my Tek on my chest
And stress ain't shit
In a ordinary day for my clique
And twisted love with the wrong bitch
So fuck yall and yall relationship
This my life and I'm livin' it
From the fake friends and bitches
From the fake smiles and kisses
This real love and it's business shit
Do you dig this and my problem
Never see you cause you see thru
I'm absolute -- 100 percent -- thugged out with a ridahs permit
To the overdose -- I'm doing it
On my mama I ain't knew this
And true this
Got caught up doin' the wrong things, so truest
Put ya money where ya heart is
Damn you ain't got no money or no heart
So of course you shut down from the start
Why the fuck you smile in my face
When I'm in pain why you cry
You scream Mu nigga I feel you
But no that's a lie
So don't cry nigga
And don't cry nigga
Ride on muthafucka -- Outlaw

Overall Meaning

Young Noble's song "Don't Cry" is a poignant tribute to the harsh realities of life as a young thug. The lyrics are about the lack of love and care that many young people face, especially when involved in criminal activities. He starts with a powerful statement, "When I die don't say nothin', 'cause y'all ain't neva loved me if you say you did -- you frontin'." This line shows his disillusionment with those whom he had surrounded himself with, those whom he had hoped would be loyal and loving but had proven otherwise.


He goes on to express the feeling of helplessness that comes with the knowledge that nobody cares whether he lives or dies, saying "Cause nobody give a fuck if we die tonight, so when we die don't cry aiight (aiiight)." The sense of abandonment is palpable in his words, and it is clear that he has grown tired of the fake thug love that he has experienced in his life. The song is a call to arms, a wake-up call to young people involved in criminal activities to start taking responsibility for their own lives and not relying on others for love and support.
