Cry Baby - Reks

Out of the heavens it did rain

Pamala Christine will endure, through the pain

Barely 17, no big plans or wedding rings

She was still in high school, ditchin' class, nahmean?

She was not a fiend but she smoke

Not a dream or a hope

Alex would have stayed but Alex ass strayed

Still she was knocked up, Alex got locked up

Would have took binoculars to find where baby papa was

Still the object of the story is the shorty with a shortie in her stomach

Pamela was confronted, will you keep this here a secret?

Could you raise it?

Could you keep it?

Saddest part, this is deja vu got her thinkin'

If the baby wasn’t aborted

It’s be the second little Corey

And I know she can’t afford it, she a youngin' in the mix

Barely fill her own tummy, tell me how it come to this?

I heard Pamela got a baby

The woman got to feel the pain

A damn shame, the child barely 17

No more goals, no more dreams for her foolery

It left dear momma weak

What will it do to me?

Pam’s got a baby

Someone’s got to feel the pain

A damn shame, the child barely 17

No more goals, no more dreams for her foolery

It left dear momma weak

What will it do to me?

Who know 'bout hunger pains?

Suffer with baby sisters

How many have you lost?

Audrey and B. I miss ya

Corey can never floss

Hand-me-down torn skimpies

Livin' with auntie, «Is momma comin'?»

it’s sorta iffy

Daddy was never there

I used to box with Billy

Streets of Newbury raised me and I love my city

Came from a broken home

Folks smokin' marijuana

Sniffin' them lines, I wrote rhymes on Park & Howard corner

Felt like parent’s disowned us

Spock and me used to roam

Across the city, low pockets, lookin' for room and home

You niggas deep into dinners, I said to each his own

I got a head on my shoulders and plus this microphone

Grew up with nothin', we made somethin' on them holidays

For kicked out of school made momma a lot less proud of A’s

Nicky, baby bro, look I apologize

Just thought you could see daddy within your brother’s eyes

Little knucklehead, wet the bed, many fears

Got to 18 alive on my momma sweatin' tears

And I’m here

Still crazy

Secrets revealed, wish I kept it concealed

Cry baby

I heard Pamela got a baby

The woman got to feel the pain

A damn shame, the child barely 17

No more goals, no more dreams for her foolery

It left dear momma weak

What will it do to me?

Pam’s got a baby

Someone’s got to feel the pain

A damn shame, the child barely 17

No more goals, no more dreams for her foolery

It left dear momma weak

What will it do to me?

Young teen

If daddy dies of A.I.D.S.

don’t you cry baby

Rat and roaches infested but we’ll get by baby

Slept on that pull out so many nights had my eyes lazy

Little brats on the streets, fixin' to die maybe

Don’t want my boys comin' over, she gettin' high daily

I coulda tried harder, to help you get by momma

I now see how you lost your life due to my father

Accept my deepest regrets, I showed you disrespect

Couldn’t take all that yellin', I had pride to protect

I love you Pamela

I love you Trevor too

Scars and scrapes, ups and downs understandable

If you was me as a child I couldn’t handle you

But you was givin' at gifts, see struggle and persist

See trouble, can’t resist

I’m changin' my ways, new books is in this music

But I’m aimin' for A’s

Nowadays even cowards spray, all I do is pray

I’m cool to walk in your light

Just help me find my way

And I’m here, still crazy

Secrets revealed

Wish I kept 'em concealed

Cry baby

Cry baby

Cry
