Mobb Deep
Shed So Many Tears
[Intro]
Yeah
It's more of that gangsta shit
Real shit (Yeah)
It's gon' get deep in this shit right now

[Verse 1]
From out the depths of hell, a black angel came up
And still was able to fly with burn wings done
Brought up with little white devil's, and black devil's
The evil's in his blood from ancestor's, that raped his great Grandmother's, so they kids [?] and I was one of them
As a child I really couldn't understand why
Life was the way it was, and I was getting tired of the lies
I tried to drink away the pain, and painkillers would knock me off
Only to awake to the same Ol' bullshit
My own pops couldn't answer my questions about god
Gave me the bullshit moms wasn't no help, she was confused as Him, fuck it you can't blame them
Who shot Martin?, Malcom?, B.I.G?, and Pac?
I don't know, all I know is that (I shed so many tears)

[Refrain]
Lord, lost so many peers
And shed so many tears
It ain't gon' stop nothin' n***a, we gangsta
Ain't nothin' up but our mothafuckin' paper
I lost so many peers
And shed so many tears
Whether California, New Yorkers, I love all my thugs, cause money like drugs
[Verse 2]
Feel me, 'fore they kill me, I know I'm a target
H.P. knew n' got bodied for startin' shit, guess I'm next on the list
Cuz' when I turned nineteen I figured out who I really is
And who they really Is, it's blue bloods that's runnin' the world
Serpents and aryan's, word to my girl, and that queen in England Ain't nothin' But a whore, In Babylon the great shall fall
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil; so bring it on man
Let's go, fuck y'all n***as waitin' 'round fo'
Y'all scared to speak your mind and catch bullet holes
Y'all scared cuz' they Assassinated they people before?
(come on man)
Well fuck it I'll gon' down for y'all, and maybe you'll learn
From all of my blood shed, to open yah eyes
Man all I know is (I shed so many tears)

[Refrain]
Lord, lost so many peers
And shed so many tears
It ain't gon' stop nothin' n***a, we gangsta
Ain't nothin' up but our mothafuckin' paper
I lost so many peers
And shed so many tears
Whether California, New Yorkers, I love all my thugs, cause money like drugs

[Verse 3]
We learn to walk, after we crawl, then we stand tall
That's what life's about
I grew up with blood in my eyes mixed with tears, that's what it be Growin' up as a juvenile, and now my whole life style's corrupt
The piece That paved the way, go on and blazes up
They told me how to raise it up
Pour out liquor for my n***as, we greed an' we haze it up
I seen a n***a get blasted up
With a volver' gun, [?], grenades, even gauged up
Cause no one gave a fuck, life's a bitch, n' they seeds become Bastards, that Raise themselves, In the streets gettin' flavored up
Girl's gettin' turned out, lookin' burnt out, they basin' it up
And some turn they back instead of being corrupt
But the rap game like the crack game you might get fucked
(I shed so many tears)
[Refrain]
Lord, lost so many peers
And shed so many tears
It ain't gon' stop nothin' n***a, we gangsta
Ain't nothin' up but our mothafuckin' paper
I lost so many peers
And shed so many tears
Whether California, New Yorkers, I love all my thugs, cause money like drugs
