Cry

She was 14 and he was 24
 Shorty claimed she never had sex before
 He's driving Benz and got a lot of dough
 He takes her to the movies and buys her Nike's yo
 And makes sure she think that she got it all
 Ain't even recognizing the signs of a booty call
 Better listen to what I'm telling y'all got to show her what she's worth
 It makes me wanna cry
 Cause the shorty's being treated just like a woman
 It makes me wanna cry
 Cause her parents ain't even trying to confront him
 It makes me wanna cry
 Black people we need to show our children a little loving
 It makes me wanna cry
 Get back in the church read your Bibles get out the struggle
 It makes me wanna cry (ooh ooh)
 Momma's trickin' to feed the baby yo
 Cause daddy took the money and put it up his nose
 He hits the hustler up for some credit yo
 But never took the time to go buy some baby clothes
 She's so adorable but she's on her own
 Three months old and they left her home alone
 Fire brakes out the little baby burns
 Tell me when will we learn?
 It makes me wanna cry
 Cause the baby didn't ask for all this trouble
 It makes me wanna cry
 Cause the parents didn't see this baby suffer
 It makes me wanna cry
 Black people we need to show our children a little loving
 Makes me wanna cry
 Get back in the church and read your Bibles get out the struggle
 It makes me wanna cry
 yo listen up
 Cause I done been all around the world every city has a ghetto
 It makes me wanna cry (cry)
 Nothin' but abandoned buildings look at the way my people living
 It makes me wanna cry (cry)
 Done been to so many places don't see no smile up on they faces
 It makes me wanna cry (cry)
 You got to get it together so your life can be much better (Oh Cry)
 (Cry) this is going out to all the little 'round the world
 Don't it make you wanna cry?
 Cause black people we need to, got to show our children some lovin'
 (Cry) you got to get back in church and study the word cause you know it will stay
 (Cry) you don't have to cry
 you don't have to cry no more, don't cry
 you don't have to cry no more, don't cry
 you don't have to cry no more, don't cry
 you don't have to cry no more, don't cry
