Baby Don't Cry (part. The Outlawz)

[2Pac]

I feel you, uh (baby, don't)

But you can't, you can't give up

(Hey, 2Pac, what?)

[2Pac & The Outlawz]

Baby, don't cry, I hope you got your head up (Outlawz)

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby, don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up (keep ya head up)

[2Pac]

Now, here's a story 'bout a woman with dreams

So picture perfect at thirteen, an ebony queen

Beneath the surface, it was more than just a crooked smile

Nobody knew about her secret, so it took a while

I could see a tear fall slow down her black cheek

Sheddin' quiet tears in the back seat, so when she asked me

What would you do if it was you?

Couldn't answer such a horrible pain to live through

I tried to trade places in the tragedy

I couldn't picture three crazed niggas grabbin' me

For just a moment, I was trapped in the pain, Lord, come and take me

Four niggas violated, they chased and they raped me

Even though it wasn't me, I could feel the grief

Thinkin' with your brains blown that would make the pain go

No! You got to find a way to survive

'Cause they win when your soul dies

[2Pac & The OutLawz]

Baby, please don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby, don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby, don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up (never give up)

Baby, don't cry, I hope you got your head up (never give up)

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby, don't cry

[The Outlawz]

Uuh

Forget him, girl (forget him, girl) he ain't gon' never change

I ain't no hater, but that nigga lost in the game

After the bright lights and big thangs

He probably could love you, but he in love with the struggle

Everyday, his mind on gettin' mo' (gettin' mo')

And never your feelings, he's chasin' millions fo' sho'

Uh, oh (uh, oh), now you 'bout to have his baby? (Damn)

Another wild-ass nigga that's gon' drive you crazy

You got too much mo' livin' to do, I'm spittin' this to you

'Cause you deserve more than what he givin' to you (that's right)

Beautiful, black, precious and complicated

A new millennium dime piece, so fine she

Got em all stuck standin' still when she come through

Baby, take a little mo' time, love'll find you

And show us the sky's blue, somebody other than me

Gon' give you everything you need, feel me?

(Don't cry, aah)

[2Pac & The OutLawz]

Baby, don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up (you'll be alright)

Baby, don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up (you'll be alright)

Baby, don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up (keep your head up)

Baby, don't cry, I hope you got your head up (never give up)

Even when the road is hard, never give up (no, no, ooh)

Baby, don't cry

[The Outlawz]

I'm tryin' to do all that I can, from jump

Now you losin', you was choosin' the wrong man

Dealt the wrong hand, you was young and beautiful

Lost and turned out, what you let that nigga do to you? (Damn)

I knew her since elementary, she blew a kiss to me

Wrote me a note in crayon, wantin' to get with me

We was kids, now she got three kids

They see their father e'ryday, and they don't know who he is

Seen him last night, homey roll a E-class

Mad cheese in the stash, still a deadbeat dad

I bring her Pampers and food, just to stop through

But those ain't my seeds, nuttin' really I could do (nah)

I feel pity for you, you ain't even his wife

Seventeen with three kids, locked down for life

Shoulda chose me, she 'bout to O.D. from the pressure

Hell, nah, I won't let her (baby, don't cry)

[2Pac & The Outlawz]

Baby, don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up (you'll be alright)

Baby, don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up (baby, don't cry)

Baby, don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up (baby, baby, baby)

Baby, don't cry, I hope you got your head up (no)

Even when the road is hard, never give up (no, ooh)

Baby, don't cry, I gotta keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby, don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up (ooh, baby)

Baby, don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby, don't cry, I hope you got your head up (keep your head up)

(Keep your head up, never give up)

Even when the road is hard, never give up, baby, don't cry

Uuh, uuh, yeah, don't give up (you'll be alright)

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

Baby, don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby, don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up, baby, don't cry

[The Outlawz]
