Crying Broke

[Consequence]

Yeah, you break artists, look, they crying broke

Career in the garbage, they decided to croak

I guess my assignment now is just to poke

At the sleeping giant until he's awoke

I can take the slingshot and make these heat rocks

Hit 'em between the eyes until this bad dream stops

To be at the top the price ain't cheap

I pay DJ's, they still send me drop sheets

I drop heat and you can blame it on my past

Why I only work for currency now like Damon Dash

Forget being mad I can tell they pissed off

That I became like Jermaine when

He would rhyme with Kriss Kross

Da Brat and Xscape and whoever else

He had signed but made wait

That's the old bait and switch

The bullshit you go through to get rich

And that's the reason why Tyson hit Mitch

Right in front of Dapper Dan before

He got the chance to stitch

Up a new outfit, there ain't an outfit

That I can't out spit, cause they don't rap about shit

So take these words home and think 'em through

Or the next rhyme I write might be about you

[Hook:]

Let me help you wipe your tears away

Let me help you wipe your tears away

Let me help you wipe your tears away

Let me help you wipe your tears away

So you can quit crying BROKE

[Rapper Big Pooh]

Today is the first of the rest of your life

Cause you refuse to write on paper, that don't make you nice

Windex on your chain. that don't make that ice

Lil' niggas wanting fame, this a sacrifice

Plenty rappers getting signed, spending time on the shelf

It's a flaw in the design, learn you rhyme for yaself

Dusty records ain't classics, most people plastic

But fans ain't plastic, they more like metal

Refuse to play the end of ya strings, no Geppettos

Men with ho tendencies, your Jordans are stilettos

Drum and bass flow, your soul is so cello

Sugar free jell-o, I will never settle for less than what I deserve

Youngins got nerve, think they story gonna be different

Be on the same train, different cars, nigga listen

The game is full of sheep, and wolves attack herds

Cause you already sleep

[Hook:]

Let me help you wipe your tears away

Let me help you wipe your tears away

Let me help you wipe your tears away

Let me help you wipe your tears away

So you can quit crying BROKE

[Elzhi]

You rather see me cryin broke, die and croak

We gettin high and smoke

Off the water with Hawaiian folk

You funny and ain't even try and joke

Because I got the right dollars

To move next to white collars who be buyin coke

But last year was different

I felt my knees buckle that's when I

Got on my knuckles like the apes inside the jungles

Up in Africa, imagine feelin like the reaper's after ya

Tax man taking half of the pie, only to suck you dry

Like he Dracula

It made my spine tense

It's all due to this record label nonsense

But I've been fine since, I got back up on my feet

Spittin heat with the Cons-Quence

And only because I plan on running and I'm far from stressed

You'd rather see me with my car possessed

And my mansion haunted

And I was terribly deprived

The moment they try to bury me alive

I barely survived, now I'm here

[Hook:]

Let me help you wipe your tears away

Let me help you wipe your tears away

Let me help you wipe your tears away

Let me help you wipe your tears away

So you can quit crying BROKE
