So Many Tears lyrics

[Intro]

I shall not fear no man but God

Though I walk through the valley of death

I shed so many tears

If I should die before I wake

Please God walk with me

Grab a nigga and take me to Heaven

[Verse 1]

Back in elementary, I thrived on misery

Left me alone, I grew up amongst a dyin' breed

Inside my mind couldn't find a place to rest

Until I got that Thug Life tatted on my chest

Tell me, can you feel me? I'm not livin' in the past

You wanna last? Be the first to blast

Remember Kato, no longer with us, he's deceased

Call on the sirens, seen him murdered in the streets

Now he rest in peace

Is there a heaven for a G? Remember me

So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many tears

[Refrain]

I suffered through the years

And shed so many tears

Lord, I lost so many peers

And shed so many tears

[Verse 2]

Now that I'm strugglin' in this business, by any means

Label me greedy gettin' green, but seldom seen

And fuck the world 'cause I'm cursed

I'm havin' visions of leavin' here in a hearse

God, can you feel me?

Take me away from all the pressure and all the pain

Show me some happiness again

I'm goin' blind, I spend my time in this cell, ain't livin' well

I know my destiny is Hell—where did I fail?

My life is in denial and when I die

Baptized in eternal fire, shed so many tears

[Refrain]

Lord, I suffered through the years

And shed so many tears

Lord, I lost so many peers

And shed so many tears

[Verse 3]

Now I'm lost and I'm weary, so many tears

I'm suicidal, so don't stand near me

My every move is a calculated step

To bring me closer to embrace an early death

Now there's nothin' left

There was no mercy on the streets

I couldn't rest, I'm barely standin'

About to go to pieces, screamin' peace

And though my soul was deleted, I couldn't see it

I had my mind full of demons tryin' to break free

They planted seeds and they hatched, sparkin' the flame

Inside my brain like a match, such a dirty game

No memories, just a misery

Paintin' a picture of my enemies killin' me in my sleep

Will I survive 'til the morning to see the sun?

Please Lord, forgive me for my sins, 'cause here I come

[Refrain]

Lord! (God!)

I suffered through the years

And shed so many tears

God, I lost so many peers

[Verse 4]

And Lord knows I tried, been a witness to homicide

Seen drive-by's takin' lives, little kids die

Wonder why as I walk by

Broken-hearted as I glance at the chalk line, gettin' high

This ain't the life for me, I wanna change

But ain't no future bright for me, I'm stuck in the game

I'm trapped inside a maze

See this Tanqueray influenced me to gettin' crazy

Disillusioned lately, I've been really wantin' babies

So I could see a part of me that wasn't always shady

Don't trust my lady 'cause she's a product of this poison

I'm hearin' noises, think she's fuckin' all my boys

Can't take no more, I'm fallin' to the floor

Beggin' for the Lord to let me in to Heaven's door

Shed so many tears

[Refrain]

Lord, lost so many peers

And shed so many tears

I lost so many peers

And shed so many tears
