When life gets hard, who can I call,
All my friends wanna see me fall, fuck dem all,
This is a one man army... Lifestyle!
Cry Nation on da rise,
Life's too short to count loss,
So I hustled my way cross,
Stompin in my airforce, rollin wit da big dogs,
Yo Zala, I see da future in you,
Just keep writing rhymes, ya mom will see you through,
She's in heaven smiling down, as strange as it sounds,
Dem haters can't stop us now,
They say a man not supposed to cry,
I swear to god I tried,
Put my weed to da sky, screaming Cry Nation till I die.
Chorus
(Singing Vernon)
All these years of my life,
So many tears I have cried,
So many friends in da grave and I wonder why,
How cruel life could be,
All these pain is a part of me,
And if I could I'd never leave,
Cause these struggle's a part of life.
Verse 2
Can you hear da sound of Bob Marley from my speakers blastin,
One love, one nation, that's all I'm askin,
I'm barely breathin, I'm graspin,
Pocket full of aspirins,
Pain killas,
I see you rollin wit some strange niggaz,
Don't bring em around me, tell them to keep their distance,
Cuz they'll stab me in da back in a instance,
I see kids in da streets, where's ya family?
I've see little babies in sheets, being thrown away by his daddy,
For every homeless child, in da streets hustling at nights,
What can I tell ya,
Don't let da streets fail ya,
If ya hustling drugs don't let da cops jail ya,
Cuz nobody's gon bail ya,
Cuz you on ya own,
So sad to say but you all alone.
Chorus
(Singing Vernon)
All these years of my life,
So many tears I have cried,
So many friends in da grave and I wonder why,
How cruel life could be,
All these pain is a part of me,
And if I could I'd never leave,
Cause these struggle's a part of life.
Verse 3
You got a wife and two kids, a crib on da hills,
Damn! Ya life is lovely,
What I got! Some fake ass friends pretending they love me,
And da fact is evident,
I'm just a young soldier trapped in this predicament,
Lifestyle was never a under achiever,
I'm a king like Caesar,
Cry Nation! Da new world leaders,
Even though the world acting like they don't need us,
Half my niggaz don't believe in Jesus,
They non believers,
But I believe da holy spirit never leave us,
Cry Nation gon rise let da whole world see us,
For dem young drug dealers and dem young ghetto divas,
Please believe, god is gonna free us,
And if I don't make it,
Probably I'll get trapped in da matrix,
To da heavens, I'll take off in a spaceship,
God... in ya hands I place my heart so please don't break it.
Chorus
(Singing Vernon)

So many friends in da grave and I wonder why,
