It ain't nothin' to cry for
It ain't nothin' to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for

It's ain't nothin to cry for
When I look in your eyes I only see more
Of Me in the past when I was a whore
I didn't want this life for you I wanted you to soar
Wanted you to be the next Bill Clinton, Lincoln, or Al Gore
Didn't want to see you riding the same streetz I rode before

But It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for

You was my future
Or at least I thought you were until I saw your virtue
I hope I didn't put too much pressure
On you but I only wanted you to be a positive figure
To these young ones out here.....that deeply need you to nurture
Them into everything I wanted you to be.......MATURE

But it's ain't nothin' to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain' t nothin to cry for

You could have been anything in this dangerous war
A doctor
mayor
football player
or lawyer
Anything but what you are now......a thug warrior
Instead of the revolutionary brother
I wanted you to be you took a detour
Into a world of black and grays
Defying everything of which I say
In the streetz or in my house is where you lay
You are everything I wished you not to be........my faith
Which is destroyed....it's gone way

But it ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for

I remembered when I saw you steal your first piece of candy
I only looked at you laughed like everything was dandy
But it wasn't...........because you turned into me and your daddy
If only I wasn't on those streetz this wouldn't have happened to you nor me
I blame myself..........for turning you into a "G"
I remember when I first got the call when you were in 6th grade saying you were skipping school to be with a lady
I was........ like I said a street hussler and didn't think about family
I only cursed the out your teacher........about my baby
But little did I know you had long strade from being mama's baby
And what you really needed was a *** wiping from a real black lady
Lord Save Me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cause......It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for

Cursing me
Ignoring me
Boring me
That is was what you did
Not you're a liar
cheater
and weeper
The weeper in my soul.......that is now hid
I know you didn't have anyone around
But that's no reason to bow down
To the thugs and murderers that turned you around
I want to cry but the drops don't seem to come around.......

Cause it ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for

As I see you lying here on this ground
I think of how "we" could have turned things around
But we were too naive to communicate and bow down
From the streetz that were callin' us when we were not found
Two shots to the head.....and no one heard a sound
Yet because you're one this ground
You've gone to a better place
And left this gun *** place

So, It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for
It ain't nothin to cry for

Then why do I cry......tears of silence?
Tears of joy
And Tears of pain
