Hear Me Crying

[Intro]
(I love you, Dzy)
(I love you too, my dude)

[Chorus]
Standing in the rain
Was trying to see, I'm trying to see if I could wash away the pain
Somehow, I maintain
Even though these crackers want me dead or locked up in the chain gang
Lord, do you hear me crying?
I know your love really real, but I don't know why we dying
I know that you see me trying
But I'm really in that field, I can't put down my iron

[Verse 1]
I'm really in that field, I can't put down my iron
Tote heavy steels, I can't let you take me from mine
Free my nigga Bill, my nigga there one of a kind
He ain't never got worried, but I'm keeping it real, I'ma do that without trying
And none of you fuck niggas ain't seeing us, y'all legally blind
Can't be compared to none of these rap niggas, we really live our rhymes
Compare me to one of these big fat niggas, I got cake all the time
Swear to God, I was raised 'round them trap niggas who be bagging dimes
Flew out of state, was making for a date, but now I'm packing nines
I be all gas, no brakes, like it's fuck traffic signs
Plus one of my niggas just died, we going through tragic times
Fuck 2020, I wish I could just press rewind
I promise that I will never stop until I see all my niggas shining
I'll go buy for one of my dawgs 'fore I buy these bitches diamonds
'Member when I used to starve, I was living like a Viking
Had to turn these haters to believers, remember the titans

[Chorus]
Standing in the rain
Was trying to see, I'm trying to see if I could wash away the pain
Somehow, I maintain
Even though these crackers want me dead or locked up in the chain gang
Lord, do you hear me crying?
I know your love really real, but I don't know why we dying
I know that you see me trying
But I'm really in that field, I can't put down my iron

[Verse 2]
See, way before this fame
Before I ever thought the world would know my name
I was riding 'round town snatching people's chains
And I know that I should change
But that evil shit still be coming to my brain
Trying to keep it cool, it's starting to drive me insane
Standing in the rain
And he toting a big-ass flame
Trying to turn one these fuck niggas right into a stain
This is not a game
Come run down on your block
'Cause that talking you doing done turned you to an opp
I tried to be good, but they done turned me to a bad guy
Niggas from my hood with the acting like they from the other side
It's like lately, all I see is homicides
It's like lately, all I see is mamas crying
Told my nigga move it smart, I don't wanna see you go away
Gotta stay smart, so we clutching on this throwaway
Gotta stay a step ahead, never know how it might go today
Gotta always use your head, can't let them trick you out your place

[Chorus]
Standing in the rain
Was trying to see, I'm trying to see if I could wash away the pain
Somehow, I maintain
Even though these crackers want me dead or locked up in the chain gang
Lord, do you hear me crying?
I know your love really real, but I don't know why we dying
I know that you see me trying
But I'm really in that field, I can't put down my iron
