[Intro]
[Verse 1: Lexii Alijai]
Yo I remember being younger
Watched niggas beat on my mother
Crying under the covers
As I yell for my brothers
Seeing em beat
Watching her drink was hard to see
Cause we loved her
But me and my sister stuck
No matter what we have each other
Hearts beating out our chest
We was too young to be this stressed
Too scared to shut our eyes
So we could never get no rest
Yeah I was young
But I ain't feel no trust
Remember waking out my sleep
To hear our windows bust
Another time when ten bitches
Was up on our lawn
I was only eight
So I watched while they was jumping my mom
They was on the concrete
I seen them stomping her head
Remember screaming from the steps
Because I thought she was dead
Yo I already lost my dad
Life for me was fucking tragic
Remember praying to God
Asking him why it had to happen
I never slept
I was too used to runnin'
My sister said hurry up
Said don't leave me Rajai I'm comin'
Yeah, said don't leave me Rajai I'm comin'
Aye, don't leave me Rajai I'm comin'
Aye, don't leave me Rajai I'm comin'
[Hook: Ashley DuBose]
No, no, no, no, no
No cry
No cry
[Verse 2: Lexii Alijai]
Evicted from every house
Land lord was kickin us out
With no money to pay the rent
Cause you was givin it out
To them niggas that never cared
Nobody wanted to help us
Motherfuckers never felt us
When we in and out of shelters
Cause you was fuckin round
And we got took away
The police ripped us out your arms
And then you looked away
They finalized the custody
That only took a day
Now we kickin' and screamin'
But it wasn't much that we could say
Said you neglected us, you breaking the law
Told them ya kids is all you got
But now they taking it all
But we was shakin'
Hearts was breakin'
Ain't no fakin' involved
Then they dragged us out to they cars
And they was making us fall
But look maybe it's for the better
Just to get yourself together
I'm just glad we missed the system
And my grandma got to get us
Hadn't talked to you in months
We tried to call, she wouldn't let us
Any time you called
She hit reject and wouldn't tell us
Knew you wouldn't neglect us
Knew you couldn't forget us
I knew I seen the truth throughout every lie she fed us
We was young and wasn't old enough
We took some time but didn't notice but
We took some time and started growing up
So we could really know what's up
Man I was losing with something
Flashbacks of crying loud without no food in my stomach
Or hearing somebody scream, I always knew it was somethin'
Or getting tooken away, I always knew it was comin'
Life was a bitch
And she was steady playing us out
I remember when I was young and found cocaine in the house
Yo I was stuck
But something in me knew it was yay
So I put that shit in a baggie
And I threw it away
And I knew to this day
That something had to change for me
Cause shit was bad and everything was feeling plain to me
I started losing all my feelings
And this shit feeling the same to me
But I'm just glad I overcame to what has came to me
Look
And Y'all can say that I'm wrong
But I just like to keep it real and put some pain in my songs
And everything I spit in every bar is what's making me strong
Ayo I had a good mom, hope y'all ain't taking me wrong
It's just decisions in the past, she was making em wrong
But fuck all that shit, we making it on
And I just hope you don't get mad at me, or you turn ya back to me
It's just some shit I wish I never had to see

No, no, no, no, no
No cry
No cry
No, no, no, no, no
No cry
No cry
No, no, no, no, no
No
