Don’t Cry Lyrics by Richard Alire

S.O.U.L

[Intro]
[Verse 1 : Richard Alire]
Woke up this morning all covered in shame
My big brother spent another summer encaged
While I'm sitting in this booth rolling a blunt to the face
Knowin' damn well I shouldn't smoke this blunt anyway
I still be thinkin bout when me and you were under the same, roof
Remember when you, and marissa fought and she got punched in the face
I think about it like it was the other day, me and you, playin Crash Bandicoot, stuck in a daze
Before you got put in the system, before we knew we were victims
Before rubber bands on your ankle was something to bang
10 years, through the thunder and rain,
Stick out my neck, and lascerate my jugular vein
I'm still bleeding, screaming out for somebody help
I still wonder if she's happy with somebody else
I'm still writing verses that nobody feels
And handin out show tickets that nobody sells
I got another letter from my father this morning
It's taking everything I'm made of for me not to destroy it
Like how am I suppose to write you back, what you expect from me
Can't believe you had the nerve to try and tell me your were "blessed" with me
Like the 100 dollar bill that came with it didn't mean anything
Like you didn't tell me this time, we would finally replenish things
I"m still short of breathe when I'm talking about you
You knew the water would drown you
[Hook : Richard Alire]
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry now
I see no reason for bloodshed and tears
You know and I know we'll always be here
Don't cry, don't cry
[Verse 2 : Richard Alire]
Yo joey, I do this for you
All up in the studio, writing shit about you
I never wrote a letter when they had you in the cell
And it makes me sick how I only though of myself
Couldn't tell you how many times I've contemplated suicide
All alone in my room with a noose to tie
My heart told me that If I died, you would die
So now I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive
[Hook]
[Bridge : Richard Alire]
Until the day that I pass, bro I got your back
Just like a spinal tap, I'mma put us on the map
If you believe, then I believe that we can have a chance
I know you meant it when you said the world was in my hands
Until the day that I pass, bro I got your back
Just like a spinal tap, I'mma put us on the map
If you believe, then I believe that we can have a chance
I really meant it when I said the world was in your hands
[Hook]
