SOMETIMES I CRY
SOMETIMES I CRY
THINKING OF A LIFE OF TEARS
IN AND OUT THE HOSPITAL FOR ELEVEN YEARS
TEASED AND MADE FUN OF BY MY PEERS
NOW WHY YOU CANT LOOK IN MY EYES WHEN I WALK BY
WHO IN THE HELL SAID A MAN AINT SUPPOSED TO CRY
I BELIEVE THE ONLY WAY I CAN REST IS AFTER I DIE
AND YET THEY EXSPECT ME TO KEEP MY HEAD IN THE SKY SO HELL YEA SOMETIMES I CRY ALL I EVER WANTED WAS TO BE SOMBODYS HERO BUT TO MOST PEOPLE ALL I AM IS JUST A NEGRO THEY ALWAYS SAY IM TRYING TO DO SOMETHING WRONG AND THE TRUTH IS I AM THE BETTER MAN ALL ALONG SO THINK ABOUT IT YALL BE THE ONES WRONG JUDGING BY THE WAY I TALK THE WAY I DRESS AND WERE IM FROM JUST BECAUSE I REPERSENT THAT SMOKETOWN DOSENT MEAN IM PACKING A GUN SEE YOU YOUR LIVING A LIFE OF LUXURY IN YOUR EYES IM LIVING A LIFE OF POVERTY SO I GUESS THAT MAKES IT COOL FOR YOU TO JUDGE ME SO HELL YEA SOMETIMES I CRY
