Don’t Cry Lyrics by James Colt

Colt 45

2020

[Chorus]
Don't cry
Don't don't cry
Tell me you won't cry
Tell me you won't cry
Do or die, this shit is do or die
Mother fuck suicide
Told them I will survive

[Verse 1]
I was like 13 when I first met death
In the bedroom crying where my grandpa slept
At the church on the steps the back of the hall
On the porch on the deck and the bathroom wall
On my birthday we were at his service people giving me gifts
What? I don't want this shit, nah
I want my grandpa back
There were worse days later on I learned this
But I felt like why do I deserve this
Other people everything is seeming perfect
But they're not they just look it on the surface

[Chorus]
Don't cry
Don't don't cry
Tell me you won't cry
Tell me you won't cry
Do or die, this shit is do or die
Mother fuck suicide
Told them I will survive

[Verse 2]
When everything goes bad, what's good?
When everything's so sad, just know it should
'Cause if you never feel low then you never feel high
I been to the bottom and the bright blue sky
Wonder why I wonder why its like this
Need a balance need a path that's righteous
Roll it up, I roll it up and light it
Got addiction like my dad got vices
R.I.P. the family tree is falling
Been had dreams before I lived in Walden
So what I got to lose? Got a lot to gain
Either way I choose won't take it to the grave

[Chorus]
Don't cry
Don't don't cry
Tell me you won't cry
Tell me you won't cry
Do or die, this shit is do or die
Mother fuck suicide told them I will survive
