Cry Lyrics


I done had money and I done been broke
I done been talked about something awful
Done been lied on by so many folks
I done even been depressed at times
And didn’t wanna cry 'cause my pride was too strong
But over the years I thought it over
And after struggling for so long and still holding on
I figured, can’t be nothing all that wrong with crying
If anybody says that they’re that strong they’re lying
See crying is like taking your soul to the Laundromat
It’s like the feeling that you get
When you see your grandmama smile
Or the heavens open up and blessing rain down
Go on child and cry
Go on and cry, cry, cry
Go on and cry, cry, cry
We can cry, we can cry together
See I done been a player and I done been played

I done went for some of the oldest tricks
From some of the coldest chicks
God done ever made
[Incomprehensible] hearing me
Said I done even had a venereal disease
And didn’t wanna go to the clinic
All that attention embarrassing me
But over the years
I’ve learned to understand
That I don’t really give a damn
What nobody say, I’m a man
And we cry, we can cry, we can
We can cry, we can cry together
Talkin’ bout wo, wo, wo, yea, yea, yea
They say a man ain’t supposed to cry
But I know, know, know
Fasho’ sho’, sho’
That even men go through problems sometime
Talkin’ bout wo, wo, wo, yea, yea, yea
They say a man ain’t supposed to cry
But I know, know, know
Fasho’ sho’, sho’
That even men go through problems sometime
I’m a man and we cry
Cry, cry, cry
{Okay okay, the next part of the story is that
After about five or six years in the joint
I had cried all I could cry and then you know
Other things were coming to me
More spiritual things is placed upon my heart
I started lookin' you know, in different places for God
I think my exact age was, I was
Twenty six years and seventeen days old}

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Lyfe Jennings (born Chester Jennings in Toledo, Ohio) is an African American R&B and soul singer-songwriter, record producer, and instrumentalist. He plays the guitar, bass, and piano which he integrates into his music.

Jennings began singing at a young age in a Toledo church choir. He later joined a group called The Dotsons with two of his cousins and his older brother, Jay. The group separated in the early 1990s, and Jennings rediscovered music and started a music program at an Ohio prison where he was serving a ten-year sentence on an arson-related charge. He has cited Erykah Badu's 1997 album Baduizm as one of the reasons for his rediscovery. Jennings was released from prison in December 2002 and started to pursue a solo career in music. In January 2003, he performed in Harlem at the Showtime at The Apollo. The same year, he also independently released his first EP, What Is Love. To further pursue his career, Jennings moved to New York City where he performed at rapper Nelly's concert at Radio City Music Hall, at an NAACP convention where he performed an original song called "Thank God for the NAACP", and at the Cafeteria in Chelsea, Manhattan during the blackout on August 14. He signed with Columbia Records and released his debut album Lyfe 268-192 (268-192 was his inmate number) in August 2004. His first single was Stick Up Kid, which didn't see much sucess until after the album was released. The album featured his hit single "Must Be Nice". Jennings' second album The Phoenix was released in August 2006. The first single, "S.E.X.", feautures Jennings' protégé, singer LaLa Brown.
