Sound Of My Tears Lyrics - Tanya Stephens

Any people who don't spend enuff to provide for the poor 

You won't be able to spend enuff to protect the rich 

Think poverty a poor people problem? 

Think again how much people problem 

How can I be good? 

When it is so much cheaper to be bad 

How can I survive when the chances I don't have? 

Me have to hustle 

How can I promise me a go change 

When me legal life is above my price range, me have hustle? 

The law forbin' me to carry a gun but my enemies have one 

Me na gone run now me have to buss it 

They want me to call the police 

But me a dem already in some serious beef me now gone trust it 

We use to be the best of friends 

But politcs a cause the whole a we face for bend me can take it 

This one bag a orange turn green 

And the whole a we a play for the same fucking team 

That now gone make rude bowy not no make 

What me say wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o 

(This a the sound of my tears) 

Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o 

(Most time they fall from there peers) 

Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o 

(This a sound of your pain) 

Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o 

(Let it rain) 

How can you judge they way how me live? 

When you don't provide me with no good alternative me a have to juggle 

The way tings a run me can't take it no more 

I rather to be dead then poor me nah gone struggle 

Can't afford to buy my son a slice a bun 

How me gone convince him to drop the gun 

He nah gone listen 

You think him gone follow good advice from what him 

Got over the phone from his father who's still in a prison 

And all who a love the ghetto the youths pon TV 

And come a streets and hype up dem way me have to let go 

And all who a say a solider couldn't last a day 

In a hour postion dem for let go yah rude bowy 

Don't make them stress you ma have a turn over this 

Yeah, and tell them Tanya said so 

What me say wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o 

(This a the sound of my tears) 

Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o 

(Most time they fall from there peers) 

Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o 

(This a sound of your pain) 

Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o 

(Let it rain) 

Yo acknowledgment is the first step to all the solution 

But everybody a act like they a not part a the problem 

And the minute the youth a really get out of the slam 

Is like there mind completely out of the slam 

Soon they want everybody start call them big man and boss 

And the only time they go back to the hood 

Is when the want floss sorry 

What me say wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o 

(This a the sound of my tears) 

Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o 

(Most time they fall from there peers) 

Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o 

(This a sound of your pain) 

Wo, a wo, o, o, o, o, o 

(Let it rain)
