Yeah, C5 Don't cry, don’t go Won't lie, I fuckin' love you, whoa Why y'all staring into the clouds Am I rising or they comin' down? I see death around the corner And the U-turn sign's lookin' like a smile What do I do now? Who gon' find me, how? Nowhere to turn but around and round Just another nigga who done lost his head No, a fucking king that forgot his crown I am not number one, it's true I'm number 9-27-82 Color blind, even if I may be blue A lot on my plate, ain't my favorite food But I’m hungry, so hungry Need my family tree next to a money tree With a bunch of leaves in the Garden of Eden With a bunch of Eves, no fruit punch for me I sip from the fountain of youth So if I die young, blame the juice Bury me in New Orleans Tombstone reads "Don’t cry, stay tuned" Bring me back to life Got to lose a life just to have a life But if heaven's as good as advertised I want a triple extension on my motherfuckin’ afterlife Rest in paradise Don’t cry (don't cry, don't cry), don't go (why, oh why?) Won’t lie, I fuckin' love you Don't cry (don't cry, don't cry, don't cry) Don't go (why, oh why, oh why, oh why?) Won't lie (don't cry, don't cry) I fuckin' love you (don't cry, don't cry) Talent is god-given, be grateful Fame is not a given, be humble and Conceit is self-driven, drive carefully Stay in your own lane, seat buckled And sometimes when there is no music We toot our own horns, rum-bum-bum-bum That woman carried the future And Tunechi was born like "dun-dun-dun-dun" Don't call it a comeback It was dark, now the sun back Hit me hard, but I punched back The wheels fell off, I rode the hubcap It's suicide or it's do or die It's newer days and it's bluer skies I told myself "It's just you and I" Then the breeze came and it blew my mind Lord knows who I'm there for I'll give my last breath of air for Mama tell me to be careful Voice in my head give me an earful But I got mind control over my control I lost control but knew I'd find control I let God control what I cannot control Can't control the tears, let them drop and roll Don't cry (don't cry, don't cry) Don't go (why, oh why, oh why?) Won't lie (don't cry), I fuckin' love you (Triple extension on my motherfuckin' afterlife, rest in paradise) Don't cry (don't cry, don't cry) Don't go (why, oh why, oh why?) Won't lie, I fuckin' love you (don't cry) Don't cry, stay tuned And triple extension on my motherfuckin' afterlife Rest in paradise
