Heart Gently Weeps

Into:

FiO Baby

Chorus:

The Joy the flowers bring me
The pain still has me sinking
All While my heart gently weeps

your smile has got me shrinking
the tears in your eyes are twinkling
Because the heart gently weeps


Verse 1:
Lil' Mikey age 8, had it rough as a kid

he had it tough on the streets, he did what other kids did
he followed the crowd, thought he'd make himself proud
had a thirst for attention, so he acted out loud


But he also had a hunger, a hunger for violence
Lil Mikey was picked on, and just wanted some silence

overweight and un athletic, a sympathetic poetic
head down every day cause he felt pathetic


Trim could run faster, Dom was Mr. Cool
everybody loved him, he was the talk of the school
James had the girl and Keti was genius

I just couldn't compare, started having these seizures

then a tumor was found, I hadda Christopher Reeves it

couldn't walk for a while, I just couldn't believe it
A lot of family past and that %#@!s hard to deal with
pain was second nature, I could barely feel it


then one day something changed, I discovered this music
I played it everyday and it helped me get through %#@!

I thank you cousin Pat for introducing me to rap
my world had now changed there were Walkman on my lap


I started writing songs, stored em in my backpack
I started getting good, but I was rapping bout crap
nothing was true, it was just all an act

until I woke up and wrote my life down exact

by the start of high school, ya boy was the man

I accepted who I was, even had me some fans
said $#&@ this alla matta, and I started making plans
4 years of college then blow up like Japan


so this is where I am, yes this is where I stand
Im working on an album making FiO a brand

one mixtape hit the streets, performed and made half a grand
finally proud of myself, egos high and won't land


Long Island know my name like they know Busta Rhymes
De La Soul, Craig Mack, some the best of all time
Keith Murray, Prince Paul, and the EPMD

Method Man, Flavor Flav, Public Enemy

My heart truly weeps when I reminisce the past

but its good to look back, life persists, and flys fast
so I stay who I am, my father said ?son it suits ya?
I'll be famous in a second, 88 to the future

like woah

Interlude:

I don't know whyyyy-hy-hyyy, nobody told you
Man's not suppose to cry?
though we're just babies, and you're just crazy

how tears of joy bring so much life

Verse 2:

So Lets get back to reminiscing, playing ball in the street
basting Wyclef and Coolio, Boombox on repeat
I use to buy blank cassettes, rewind and delete

but now I burn CD's, Facebook, and I Tweet

Damn times have changed, even musically
Diddy aint Puffy, and Biggy aint breathing
southern raps emerged but its nonsense and crazy

Tupac's dead and gone, and so is slim shady
Baby

Chorus 2:
I don't know whyyyy-hy-hyyy nobody told you

Man's not suppose to cry?
though we're just babies, and you're just crazy
how tears of joy bring so much life

Outro:

I don't know whyyyy-hy-hyyy nobody told you
how to unfold your love
I don't know how-ow-ow-ow someone controlled you
they bought it so, so do...
