West Little River Lyrics

I was raised in a city called west little river

Where I've seen mamas crying babies dying and lights get dimmer

And my best guess was to stay home from spring to winter

And I'm the only winner

Hopefully it doesnt stay that way

Cops light flashing out baby put the music down

Why do big smiles turn to bigger frowns?

And why is there a dead body right in front of the house?

I was only four

and I was only 4 when I seen my pops coming home from work

With a ripped up shirt

Blood dripping down his face

And I wasn't sure

If everything was ok

Maybe this the life we living now

I thank god I turned out ok

Baby cry me a river

Baby cry me a river damn

Got no more tears

So please cry me a river baby

I was 13 when kris died

Didnt hit me as hard but thats when i realized

Maybe moving was for a better life

I wrote a little letter to you just for you to put aside

And pick apart the pieces to show what was inside

And i would do anything to let that boy

Ri-

Ri-

Rise

I'm bouta hit the age in which he was not alive

I felt horrible for ***** he had your eyes

And when your pops was not the man you had to pick a side

When neutral aint an option you decide

and What was the future for you looking like?

And rest in peace dawg now a statistic to this homicide

And now you a story

From the westside

This shit could make me cry

Baby cry me a river

Baby cry me a river damn

Got no more tears

So please cry me a river baby

Baby cry me a river

Baby cry me a river damn

Got no more tears

So please cry me a river baby
