No Cry

[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 cry

No cry

No, no, no, no, no

No cry

No cry

No, no, no, no, no

No
