[Introduction]
Don't get ahead of yourself
You know how things stay sometimes
So don't go hurting yourself
You only trapped in your mind (That's right)
We've got a story to tell
Just have it written on the lines
Don't say that nothing will help
Sometimes I cry (yeah), I cry (yeah), I cry, I cry

[Verse 1]
Got a world full of hurt waitin' outside
And it's waitin' on me
Feel the burn as I wait 'til the outcry
Not to mention the heat
Live again in the shoes of a black mind, it can't happen to me
Look around for the truth, it's an out lie
And that fuck up my peace
I got friends who famous, I got friends who ain't, shit
I got girls with grudges who still won't say shit
I know some white folks who ain't keen on changin'
Summon God home as the sun on vacation
Don't take too long, cause we'll be here waitin'
Started feelin' guilty when I felt amazin'
If I'm part of the problem, then it's complicated
If I could point a finger, it'd probably be at Satan
Or whoever raised them but, me
But we like impatience
Summer's gone and I miss the fragrance
They sellin' souls just to get on playlists
Have you heard the news, I ain't caught the latest, no
[Chorus]
Don't get ahead of yourself
You know how things stay sometimes (Stay sometimes)
So don't go hurting yourself (Don't go)
You're only trapped in your mind
We've got a story to tell (We've got a story)
Just have it written on the lines (We've got it raised up)
Don't say that nothing will help
Sometimes I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry

[Interlude]
I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry
I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry
I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry

[Verse 2]
Babe tell me good news
I'm coming home to your cooked food
Don't it just feel like a sunday?
Think about the things that we could do
Don't go try, but I could lose
I need to see you in a good mood
Not tied down by your worries, the worries, don't worry

[Outro]
Don't get ahead of yourself (Easier said than done)
You know how things stay sometimes (Don't go)
So don't go hurting yourself
You only trapped in your mind
We've got a story to tell
I've come, too far
Just have it written on the lines (We've got it raised up)
Too far to reflect, my flaws, my wrongs
We've lost in the Benz
Don't say that nothing will help
A new day is dawned
You can't go away
Sometimes I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry
