Tears To Shed

Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh When the cold wind blows in the heart of the city and I'm gone I know the streets will shed tears for me When my story is over and my song is done I know the streets will shed tears for me The end All I get is mother fuckin' love in these streets To most of these tricks I'm a mother fuckin' treat What's beef? I ain't got no beef See all that bitchin'? It taste like chicken And all these chickens? They get plucked And nobody wants to see the volcano erupt I'm down with Daz 'cause everythang is Kurupt I'm celebrated every time I pull up You hella hated, every time you look up I'm elevated to rapper's deluxe They love me, dawg, 'cause I'm one of a kind This is God's plan, homie, it ain't mine See, this ain't about dyin', it's all about shinin' It's all about climbin' a hill of diamonds I know that you feel it, I know that you felt it 'Cause a nigga gon' live 'til a nigga can't help it When the cold wind blows in the heart of the city and I'm gone I know the streets will shed tears for me (They love me, dawg) When my story is over and my song is done (They love me, dawg) I know the streets will shed tears for me The end Sorry, y'all, I ain't got no haters All I got is mother fuckers tellin' me I'm the greatest All I got is those fly ass suits and gators Nobody servin' Cube but maids and waiters Nobody tryin' to take my life All these bitches tryna do is replace my wife But you hoes ain't cold enough to fuck with Ice Like Kim she'll run circles 'round you bitches twice Now, it might get funky but it won't get ugly Niggas might not like me but they still love me Niggas might talk shit, they whisper and huddle 'Cause they know my rebuttal might leave a puddle Now the streets is talkin' until they see me Walkin' up the block, then all the bullshit stop Anything I do, Don't take it personal 'cause when a Nigga gone, that shit ain't reversible When the cold wind blows in the heart of the city and I'm gone I know the streets will shed tears for me (They love me, dawg) When my story is over and my song is done (They love me, dawg) I know the streets will shed tears for me The end I'm the bastard that spit the acid Fuck a funeral home and a casket Fuck a funeral song and a procession Keep God on your dome and count your blessings Keep the hood in your heart but heaven on your mind Shake 'em up and roll seven every time Pick 'em up, yup, stick 'em up Every time you see me got a different color cup This ain't about dyin', it's all about livin' It's all about makin' everyday Thanksgivin' It's all about givin', about stayin' driven It ain't about you, it's about these children So when a nigga die, stop cryin' and ventin' Will somebody in here bump George Clinton? Will somebody in here hug my fam? Don't worry about me, you know where I am When the cold wind blows in the heart of the city and I'm gone I know the streets will shed tears for me (They love me, dawg) When my story is over and my song is done (They love me, dawg) I know the streets will shed tears for me

They press our teardrops into diamonds They change our sorrows into gold They're gonna turn our blood to rubies We just need someone we can hold Got an issue but it's getting bigger and bigger In the beginning it was something minor Got a rat up in my kitchen and we gotta get rid of it So we're bringing in a tiger There's something inside her Thought you were blissful I heard you did it with a pink-handled pistol But sadness, it tend to latch on And it won't let go like a pitbull Don't even know if you left a note Should we blame the Depakote? Or vilify the Abilify? You were trying to find your vanilla sky Then you unravel Face down on rock bottom, fucking chewing gravel Because a human's so fragile. What can you do? They press our teardrops into diamonds They change our sorrows into gold They're gonna turn our blood to rubies We just need someone we can hold They press our teardrops into diamonds But they can't change our hearts to stone They're gonna turn our blood to rubies I know that we are not alone We are not alone I know it's sappy But I want my family to be happy Without becoming flatter than a sheet of paper An army of zombies, shuffling through a vapor But I know folks who found something beautiful And they credit the pharmaceuticals For slaying the demons that they're running from It might have saved their lives, and I'm one of 'em But there's a limit to the shit you can endure You get a prescription and you're thinking that it's pure But baby, maybe it's a problem when you got a problem And you get addicted to the cure The spike ain't no mystery We're any penny in a billion dollar industry And there's a motherfucker on living on the hill, pushing pills Stacking bills off our misery Had a teaspoon that's full of pain Woah-oh Got an ocean that's full of sorrow Had a teaspoon that's full of pain Woah-oh Got an ocean that's full of sorrow They press our teardrops into diamonds They change our sorrows into gold They're gonna turn our blood to rubies We just need someone we can hold (Ah-ahh-ahhh) They press our teardrops into diamonds (Ah-ahh-ahhh-ahh) But they can't change our hearts to stone (Ah-ahh-ahhh) They're gonna turn our blood to rubies (Ah-ahhhh-ahh) I know that we are not alone We are not alone
