Headie One Lyrics
"Cry"

One

I can shut down a verse or a chorus (turn)
I done spent the whole summer time trappin' out of Martin's and Lawrence
You know I got so much love for my roses
Soul for the drillers, next time you catch me goin' to the florist (One)
All I ever wanted was some progress, uh
Everything above and beyond is a bonus
I had armed jakes spinnin' out my ride for some clothes
Now they gotta watch everybody toast us
Yo, it's a celebration
young black brothers being celebrated
Elevation, no more separation
Far to plan, plan to throw, it's a preparation
Got a thirst in the trap with no dissertation
Got ammunition for myself, preservation
And made the block lit, it's a dedication
For my brothers, not Jonas
Now it's 5-0, three pellets on the tour bus

This life
I still pray it ain't temporary
It's for life
And we stand in the morning all day
And through the night
When the suns goes up
You see my diamonds on fire (One)
To get this water around my neck
I had to cry, cry

In the trenches its just trials and tribulations
I found my education and found a new location
I've fallen flat on my face, ain't seen familiar faces
I got stabbed in my back, the article is bladed
You know life's fucked up when your safe space is
That dusty bando up so, that the jakes invaded
Wish I can make a happy news, yeah, like Craig David
But I'm pain built, I get 'em payin' for their playlist
It was segregation that had a street nigga doin' meditation
Puffed on his vest, there was no explanation
And now I'm tryna influence a generation
Top floor reservation
So high in the sky, I can expect the nation
Turn up, and of course the view's amazin'
I guess it's compensation for the times that they took us
We was looked down on now the crowd's fifty-thousand

This life
I still pray it ain't temporary
It's for life
And we stand in the morning all day
And through the night
When the suns goes up
You see my diamonds on fire (One)
To get this water around my neck
I had to cry, cry
