​never thought i’d be one to cry like this

[Hook]
Never thought I'd be one to cry like this, yeah
Never thought I'd be one to cry like this
Papa took a deep breath and died real quick
Just like my father, I love me a spliff
Folks walk with a limp like it's something he'll hit
Never thought I'd be one to cry like this
Papa took a deep breath and died real quick
Just like my father, I love me a spliff
Folks walk with a limp like it's something he'll hit

[Verse]
Live in his honor, that's why my grandmama called me
Bare the truth, you'll see farther (Much farther)
Remember when I had my first Spalding
We was in the backyard
This was years before we moved to 12th Street
And when life get hard (Get hard)
Thinking why won't nobody help me
I'mma tell Thebe if he bleeding
Been a couple days since a nigga seen them
When I sit down and veg on my deeper meaning
Reappear with the sun gleaming
Running out of words, need to do some reading
It's always your god trying me for treason
I could never hate the man, gave me every reason
I done spent a year fighting off my demons

[Hook]
Never thought I'd be one to cry like this
Papa took a deep breath and died real quick
Just like my father, I love me a spliff
Folks walk with a limp like it's something he'll hit
Never thought I'd be one to cry like this
Papa took a deep breath and died real quick
Just like my father, I love me a spliff
Folks walk with a limp like it's something he'll hit
Never thought I'd be one to cry like this
Papa took a deep breath and died real quick
Just like my father, I love me a spliff
Folks walk with a limp like it's something he'll hit

[Outro]
Every nigga is a star
Every nigga is a star
Every nigga is a star
Every nigga, every nigga is a star
I said every nigga is a star
Every nigga is a star
Every nigga is a star
Every nigga is a star
Every nigga is a star
Every nigga is a star
