Cry Lyrics - Journey Of A Gemini - Donell Jones

She was 14 and he was 24 

Shorty claimed she never had sex before 

He's driving Benz and got a lot of dough 

He takes her to the movies and buys her Nike's, yo 

And makes sure she think that she got it all 

Ain't even recognizing the signs of a booty call 

Better listen to what I'm telling y'all 

Got to show her what she's worth 

It makes me wanna cry 

'Cause the shorty's being treated just like a woman 

It makes me wanna cry 

'Cause her parents ain't even trying to confront him 

It makes me wanna cry 

Black people we need to show our children a little loving 

It makes me wanna cry 

Get back in the church read your Bibles, get out the struggle 

It makes me wanna cry 

Ooh, ooh 

Momma is trickin' to feed the baby, yo 

'Cause daddy took the money and put it up his nose 

He hits the hustler up for some credit yo 

But never took the time to go buy some baby clothes 

She's so adorable but she's on her own 

Three months old and they left her home alone 

Fire brakes out the little baby burns 

Tell me when will we learn? 

It makes me wanna cry 

'Cause the baby didn't ask for all this trouble 

It makes me wanna cry 

'Cause the parents didn't see this baby suffer 

It makes me wanna cry, ooh yeah 

Black people we need to show our children a little loving 

Makes me wanna cry 

Get back in the church and read your Bibles, get out the struggle 

It makes me wanna cry 

Yo listen up 

'Cause I done been all around the world 

Every city has a ghetto 

It makes me wanna cry 

Nothin' but abandoned buildings 

Look at the way my people living 

It makes me wanna cry 

Done been to so many places 

Don't see no smile up on they faces 

It makes me wanna cry 

You got to get it together 

So your life can be much better 

Oh cry 

This is going out to all the hoods around the world 

Don't it make you wanna cry? 

'Cause black people we need to 

Got to show our children some lovin' 

You got to get back in church and study the word 

'Cause you know it will save you 

You don't have to cry 

You don't have to cry no more, don't cry 

You don't have to cry no more, don't cry 

You don't have to cry no more, don't cry 

You don't have to cry no more, don't cry
