CRYIN' SHOULDER


(Chorus)

Come here girl put your head on my shoulder

‘Cause this cold world keeps gettin’ colder

The good die young as we get older

Remember what I told ya, I'm here to console ya now

Keep smilin’ through the pain

And keep pushin’ against the grain

Feel like you got nothing, I'ma be your shelter from the rain

 

(Verse)

Ya see, everybody needs a shoulder to cry on

These days it’s hard enough to find someone to rely on

And Hov’ said go on and brush ‘em off

But sometimes you need a friend to sit down and talk

To appease the public, we sit back and stomach

Each others wrong doings and don’t pass judgment

And you've heard it before but when it rains it pours

And goin’ through it alone makes the pain endured

Twice as heavy and despite all this envy,

I’m still a rock, boy, built just like Chevy

And when the hurricane's a’ comin’, I'ma stand my ground

‘Cause I know the sunshine's comin’ back around to shine on me

Now I can finally see

The one thing I really have that's my family

And I’ma stand in this rain for a little bit longer ‘cause man

If it don’t kill me, it'll make me stronger

 

(Chorus)

 

(Verse)

The world’s upset, someone give the globe a cigarette

The human race is losin’ their heads like Marie Antoinette

And I’m a pawn in this chess set, marionette

Single contestant in six shot Russian roulette

Optimistic people promise prosperity comes eventually

They’ve been brain washing me ever since elementary

To compensate for controversies of past centuries

Send my brother to war, they decorate their Christmas trees

Honestly as their dishonest polices go farther

We’re losin’ all our freedoms for the wars of our fathers

Got us feelin’ hopeless about change like why bother

So we medicate ourselves fallin’ deeper in the bottle

It’s full throttle so we can't stop this train

Dependencies become cryin’ shoulders to maintain

Instead of aimin’ to explain the facts, we watch Idol

It’s the world’s time of the month I think she lost her Midol

 

(Chorus)

 

(Verse)

Hell on earth, we’re livin’ the apocalypse

Don’t blame it on the turf, put it on the politics

Minimum wage, see how low your pocket gets

Understand why a man gets popped for his poker chips

Shorty needs to pay tuition, hops on a pole and strips

Little man raises himself ‘cause his Pops skipped

Can’t drive but cops whips from the pot flipped

Makin’ money pushin’ basil, provide a nasal drip

School he dipped to sell sherm a block intern

Addicts come back after the bag is burned

Hopped on a street team servin’ the pheens

Millions to Indonesia, how about New Orleans?

Our boys are over there, know what that means?

Reserves can't stack sandbags for Katrina

They sacked Baghdad eating out of a cantina

And at the pump we spend 8 bucks Gasolina!

 

(Chorus)
