When Thugs Cry Lyrics

Joe Budden

[Chorus]
How can you just leave me standin'
alone in a world that's so cold
maybe I'm just too demandin'
maybe I'm just like my father too bold
maybe I'm just like my mother
she's never satisfied
why do we scream at each other
this is what it sounds like when thugs cry
[Verse 1]
(yo) First off I got a seed comin'
so I won't even front like I don't need nothin'
dependin' on record sales for me to see somethin'
but if that fall back how the fuck I'm supposed to feed little Budden
I been to jail before
I been a bum before
but a nigga ain't never had a son before
I dealt with caine and fire
I done banged with fighters
but I ain't never changed a diaper
I ain't ready
ever since I signed niggas been on my back
like mouse what up, when I'm gettin' on the track
and so the hood hates me
figured they be much kinder like Joe congradulations and we comin' right behind ya
everybody in the hood I dap
says I'm responible for everybody in the hood that raps
they don't like how I do shit say I changed
I'm the same nigga that ya'll went to high school with
after all these years I'm still the same drug addict
and it's fucked up I'm
sober with them same drug habits
I still pinch, thief, con and lie, rob, shoot
difference now is I ain't high
Cats is after me
atleast I got a crew to warn me
I don't like walkin' around with this 32 on me
atleast my mans is real
atleast my family's there
is it worth rappin'
the answers yeah but I don't know...
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
yo I'm a survivor
I seen darker days
a mama's boy with my fatherc12
