Cries Lyrics by Vonte Brown

Even-Handed

2014

Cries

[Intro]
Cries I remember, started on
The 25th of November, when I was born
My mother wasn’t the average woman
Nah, ‘cause she ain’t have to ask for nothing

[Verse 1]
I-I was about four
My dad was messing with these whores
And he told us that he’d be back after leaving from the store
That was last time that I’d see him for some years
Since I was so young, I just thought, “Daddy disappeared”
But later down the road, he spotted me from a distance
Asking me wherе I’d been, like I was the one missing
Throwing my hеad, I was thinking it was too late
Past the due date, I ask him, “Why you so late?”

[Hook]
What you hear, what you hear is cries
That ain’t a beat, man, that’s all cries

[Verse 2]
We can’t replace the time wasting with
Chasing from the angles I’m looking so amazing
I’m taking out my anger on pencils that I used
Abusing pencils from my writing, got something to prove
My point of view, I often see it as a relative
To your perspective on life, I’m off the hesitive
I’m on, I’m on a journey tryna find someone to vent to
I got a mind mom that has a husband that resents you
Yeah, it was the cries that I hear
Mama shedding those tears, I started asking the mirror
On the wall, growing older, so I started making calls
Wait a minute, I ain’t tripping, but I barely catch my falls
‘Cause many times I needed guidance
Every time my plan failed, you know that will remind me
And I was only tryna find me
Doing it by myself was the blind leading the blind, see
Yeah, I was sick mentally to have my dad back in my life
Boy, it was something like a IV
I had a problem, yeah, probably
What was that problem? Man, why me?

[Outro]
Remembering cries
You know, just hearing the cries
Hearing the cries
That ain’t the beat, man, that’s all cries, for real
