you

a

|
When

|
cry,
|
|
dry
|
|
your
|
|
eyes,
|
|
never
|
|
let
|
|

|
|
Forgive,

Answer
|

you
|
|
you
|
|
ain't
|
|
nothin',
|
|
don't
|
|
believe
|
|
him
|
|
And
|
|
if
|
|
he
|
|
can't
|
|
learn
|
|
to
|
|
love
|
|
you,
|
|
you
|
|
should
|
|
leave
|
|
him
|
|
'Cause,
|
|
sister,
|
|
you
|
|
don't
|
|
need
|
|
him
|
|
And
|
|
I
|
|
ain't
|
|
tryin'
|
|
to
|
|
gas
|
|
you
|
|
up,
|
|
I
|
|
just
|
|
call
|
|
'em
|
|
how
|
|
I
|
|
see
|
|
'em
|
|
(You
|
|
don't
|
|
need
|
|
him)
|
|
You
|
|
know
|
|
what
|
|
makes
|
|
me
|
|
unhappy?
|
|
(What's
|
|
that?)
|
|
When
|
|
brothers
|
|
make
|
|
babies
|
|
and
|
|
leave
|
|
a
|
|
young
|
|
mother
|
|
to
|
|
be
|
|
a
|
|
pappy
|
|
(Oh,
|
|
yeah,
|
|
yeah,
|
|
yeah)
|
|
And
|
|
since
|
|
we
|
|
all
|
|
came
|
|
from
|
|
a
|
|
woman
|
|
Got
|
|
our
|
|
name
|
|
from
|
|
a
|
|
woman
|
|
and
|
|
our
|
|
game
|
|
from
|
|
a
|
|
woman
|
|
(Yeah,
|
|
yeah)
|
|
I
|
|
wonder
|
|
why
|
|
we
|
|
|
Answer
|
|
take
|
|
from
|
|
our
|
|
women
|
|
Why
|
|
we
|
|
rape
|
|
our
|
|
women,
|
|
do
|
|
we
|
|
hate
|
|
our
|
|
women?
|
|
(Why?
|
|
Why?
|
|
Why?
|
|
Why?
|
|
Why?
|
|
Why?)
|
|
I
|
|
think
|
|
it's
|
|
time
|
|
to
|
|
kill
|
|
for
|
|
our
|
|
women
|
|
Time
|
|
to
|
|
heal
|
|
our
|
|
women,
|
|
be
|
|
real
|
|
to
|
|
our
|
|
women
|
|
And
|
|
if
|
|
we
|
|
don't,
|
|
we'll
|
|
have
|
|
a
|
|
race
|
|
of
|
|
babies
|
|
that
|
|
will
|
|
hate
|
|
the
|
|
ladies,
|
|
that
|
|
make
|
|
the
|
|
babies
|
|
(Oh,
|
|
yeah-yeah)
|
|
And
|
|
since
|
|
a
|
|
man
|
|
can't
|
|
make
|
|
one
|
|
He
|
|
has
|
|
no
|
|
right
|
|
to
|
|
tell
|
|
a
|
|
woman
|
|
when
|
|
and
|
|
where
|
|
to
|
|
create
|
|
one
|
|
So
|
|
will
|
|
the
|
|
real
|
|
men
|
|
get
|
|
up?
|
|
I
|
|
know
|
|
you're
|
|
fed
|
|
up,
|
|
ladies,
|
|
but
|
|

|
|
|
Answer
|
|

|
|
head
|
|
up
|
|
(Keep
|
|

|
|
Ooh,
|
|
child,
|
|
things
|
|

|
|
gonna
|
|
get

|
|
Ooh,
|
|
child,
|
|
things'll
|
|
get
|
|
brighter
|
|
(Oh-oh,

|
|
Ooh,
|

|
|
Ayo,
|
|
I
|
|
remember
|
|
Marvin
|
|
Gaye
|
|
used
|
|
to
|
|
sing
|
|
to
|
|
me
|
|
He
|
|
had
|
|
me
|
|
feelin'
|
|
like
|
|
black
|
|
was
|
|
the
|
|
thing
|
|
to
|
|
be
|
|
And
|
|
suddenly
|
|
the
|
|
ghetto
|
|
didn't
|
|
seem
|
|
so
|
|
tough
|
|
And
|
|
though
|
|
we
|
|
had
|
|
it
|
|
rough,
|
|
we
|
|
always
|
|
had
|
|
enough
|
|
I
|
|
huffed
|
|
and
|
|
puffed
|
|
about
|
|
my
|
|
curfew
|
|
and
|
|
broke
|
|
the
|
|
rules
|
|
Ran
|
|
with
|
|
|
Answer
|
|
the
|
|
local
|
|
crew
|
|
and
|
|
had
|
|
a
|
|
smoke
|
|
or
|
|
two
|
|
I
|
|
realize
|
|
mama
|
|
really
|
|
paid
|
|
the
|
|
price
|
|
She
|
|
nearly
|
|
gave
|
|
her
|
|
life
|
|
to
|
|
raise
|
|
me
|
|
right
|
|
(Oh,
|
|
yeah-yeah)
|
|
And
|
|
all
|
|
I
|
|
had
|
|
to
|
|
give
|
|
her
|
|
was
|
|
my
|
|
pipe
|
|
dream
|
|
of
|
|
how
|
|
I'd
|
|
rock
|
|
the
|
|
mic
|
|
and
|
|
make
|
|
it
|
|
to
|
|
the
|
|
bright
|
|
screen
|
|
I'm
|
|
tryin'
|
|
to
|
|
make
|
|
a
|
|
dollar
|
|
out
|
|
of
|
|
fifteen
|
|
cents
|
|
It's
|
|
hard
|
|
to
|
|
be
|
|
legit
|
|
and
|
|
still
|
|
pay
|
|
your
|
|
rent
|
|
And
|
|
in
|
|
the
|
|
end,
|
|
it
|
|
seems
|
|
I'm
|
|
headin'
|
|
for
|
|
the
|
|
pen'
|
|
I
|
|
try
|
|
to
|
|
find
|
|
my
|
|
friends,
|
|
but
|
|
they're
|
|
blowin'
|
|
in
|
|
the
|
|
wind
|
|
Last
|
|
night,
|
|
|
Answer
|
|
my
|
|
buddy
|
|
lost
|
|
his
|
|
whole
|
|
family
|
|
It's
|
|
gonna
|
|
take
|
|
the
|
|
man
|
|
in
|
|
me
|
|
to
|
|
conquer
|
|
this
|
|
insanity
|
|
(Oh,
|
|
no,
|
|
no,
|
|
no)
|
|
It
|
|
seems
|
|
the
|
|
rain'll
|
|
never
|
|
let
|
|
up
|
|
I
|
|
try
|
|
to
|
|
keep
|
|
my
|
|
head
|
|
up
|
|
and
|
|
still
|
|
keep
|
|
from
|
|
gettin'
|
|
wet
|
|
up,
|
|
huh
|
|
You
|
|
know,
|
|
it's
|
|
funny,
|
|
when
|
|
it
|
|
rains
|
|
it
|
|
pours
|
|
They
|
|
got
|
|
money
|
|
for
|
|
wars,
|
|
but
|
|
can't
|
|
feed
|
|
the
|
|
poor
|
|
Said
|
|
it
|
|
ain't
|
|
no
|
|
hope
|
|
for
|
|
the
|
|
youth
|
|
And
|
|
the
|
|
truth
|
|
is
|
|
it
|
|
ain't
|
|
no
|
|
hope
|
|
for
|
|
the
|
|
future
|
|
And
|
|
then
|
|
they
|
|
wonder
|
|
why
|
|
we
|
|
crazy,
|
|
huh
|

I
|
