mommas cry - michael kirby lyrics
intro:
how many babies gotta die
before we start to realize
that our mindset got us in eternal suicide
i jump yours, you jump mine
then we both do some time
why we throw away our lives
over street rules we never had a chance to decide
over lies
tears fill the sky in disguise
for all the times we gon’ make our mommas cry, yeah
verse 1:
i know some kids who know the hustle like, hold on
i know some kids who know the hustle like the back of they hands
i know some kids who’ve got their daddies in gangs
uncles and brothers in chains
some who came out and then went back in again
i know some kids who fake the hustle like, hold on
i know some kids who fake the hustle for the clout that it bring
they act like every kid that died from gang sh*t was they friend
another mother’s son reduced to a trend
that’s how this story begins
hook:
they lie, they don’t even know
they try, they can’t let sh*t go
they cry, they won’t let that show
they just pretend
this what we told ‘em it mean to be men
they lie, they don’t even know
they try, they can’t let sh*t go
they cry, they won’t let that show
they just pretend
this what we told ‘em it mean to be men
verse 2:
i know a lil shawty that love her some drama
she love making problems, she love telling lies
she play on both sides
love turning brothas against one another she love the demise
she love to surprise these youngins with misinformation and statements bout someone who died
love the reply when youngins say that they can’t let that sh*t slide and that they gon’ slide
the youngins collide
they show up in groups, but ain’t n0body there on they side
‘cause if you was with homies for real, they wouldn’t partic*p*te in your decline
but as long as they portray the image that they’ve been presenting when they was online
they thought they’d be fine
but the way they’ve been acting on live gon’ eat them alive
and to survive
the fists go up, the jig is up
they trading blows, the thing that sucks
is who’s supposed to lift us up
if all we do is bring us down
just look around
the cops pull up
they vet the kids
they press the kids
arrest the kids
can someone go protect the kids?
‘cause god forbid they—
and that’s how the story ends
hook:
they lie, they don’t even know
they try, they can’t let sh*t go
they cry, they won’t let that show
they just pretend
this what we told ‘em it mean to be men
outro:
b*b*boom boom boom boom
another child just mowed down by the gun
b*b*boom boom boom boom
another child gets mowed down by the gun
