Tears came down (down)
Tears came pourin' down
Tears came down (down)
Too many downfalls (ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Too many downfalls, I could cry (mm)
It's been a lifetime full of fighting (mm)
Why this shit still feel wrong?
Can't believe my dawg gone
And they tell me, "Stay strong"
Doin' that sometimes ain't enough
Tryna hold these tears back but that don't work no more, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah, oh
Tryna hold these tears back, ain't cried in so long, yeah
Can't cry for too long, yeah

Tears for losses (tears for losses)
Tears for hurt (tears for hurt)
Tears for joy (tears for joy)
For all good times (for all good times)
Tears for exes (tears for exes)
Change will come (change will come)
Oh, I'm scared to cry

Yeah, all my niggas got tattoo tears
Killed two opps, now he gotta tatt two tears (for real)
Locked up in the county on the last two tears
For the past few years (miss you, bro)
Lost my cousin Duke due to his last few pills
We lost Justin too due to his last few deals
Back in 2002, I was working with a vacuum seal
Smoke from the crack fumes
Y'all don't even know what to do with a bathroom mirror
Used to get picked on cause I never had new gear
Niggas gon' hate so I can't take that too serious
Dropped out of school midday, didn't go to the last two periods (I'm gone)
Now I run them rap tours like Masai Ujiri
That's why I buy new jewelry
'Cause we really come from nothing
If the streets ever paid your bail, we hold the common bond
Palmed a gun at 12, I wished they had of never sold us one
We handle beef well, but sometimes I just felt it was over done
Like Friday night lights and the marching band just pulled up with drums
I was on the corner playing bump and run for OG Bumpy Johnson
And that's really just being nonchalant
For the power niggas will ghost you with a tommy gun
Damn

Tears came down (down)
Tears came pourin' down
Tears came down (down)
Too many downfalls (ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Too many downfalls, I could cry (mm)
It's been a lifetime full of fighting (mm)
Why this shit still feel wrong?
Can't believe my dawg gone
And they tell me, "Stay strong"
Doin' that sometimes, ain't enough
Tryna hold these tears back but that don't work no more, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah, oh
Tryna hold these tears back, ain't cried in so long, yeah
Can't cry for too long, yeah

Tears for losses (tears for losses)
Tears for hurt (tears for hurt)
Tears for joy (tears for joy)
For all good times (for all good times)
Tears for exes (tears for exes)
Change will come (change will come)
Okay to cry

Yeah, uh, I cried tears of anger
To all my real ones out here living dangerous
I'll make sure your name stay miscellaneous
From here to Pennsylvania
I'm not proud of the shit I did with gangsters
'Cause I affected so many different strangers
I'd rather be rich than famous, but I'm paranoid
Hand on my trigger anxious
I know these rappers are here to entertain us
We all got patners who will slide if we lift a finger
But why we still gotta be street?
Just to show the money didn't change us?
They say I turned Hollywood, but I rather be Topanga
With a wife and a cute lil' girl, see shit from a different angle
But for some reason I still feel entangled
Them niggas tried to stand over me like when Jesus was in the manger
What's even stranger, you was alive at your funeral
They cried, looking down at the body
While they was viewing you
The spirit looking back at the flesh like it was two of you
They came to the service on a Friday afternoon for you
They had that memorial stadium by the atrium
I knew my haters wanted to be there
So I made sure they made some room for you
They brought flowers and balloons for you
It's crazy how many ladies came out to see you
It was beautiful

Tears came down (down)
Tears came pourin' down
Tears came down (down)
Too many downfalls (ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Too many downfalls, I could cry (mm)
It's been a lifetime full of fighting (mm)
Why this shit still feel wrong?
Can't believe my dawg gone
And they tell me, "Stay strong"
Doin' that sometimes ain't enough
Tryna hold these tears back but that don't work no more, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah, oh
Tryna hold these tears back, ain't cried in so long, yeah
Can't cry for too long, yeah

Tears for losses (tears for losses)
Tears for hurt (tears for hurt)
Tears for joy (tears for joy)
For all good times (for all good times)
Tears for exes (tears for exes)
Change will come (change will come)
It's okay to cry

Tears came down
Tears came pourin' down
Tears came down
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Tryna hold these tears back but that don't work no more
Tryna hold these tears back but that don't work no more
Oh, I'm scared to cry
