[Intro: BXKS]

Cry for me, don't cry for me

At the end of the day, it's just tears on your face

Cry for me, don't cry for me

Cry for me, (Yeah) don't cry for me (Yeah, yeah)


[Chorus: BXKS]

If you look out the window you can see the fun never lasts

Had to let go, tight grip on the past

Writing's on the wall like a broken hand in a cast (Cast)

Had to do more, so I spoke up less

Just stuck in the middle of a broken mess

Had to do more, so I spoke up less

Just stuck in the middle of a broken mess (Mess)


[Verse 1: BXKS]

Can, can, can I get-get the green light to go?

Ditch the old flow for a mystiquе one

I make tunes for thе disco and the deep ones

Expensive flows, not into cheap ones

Cash flow, that's right, we're into pink ones

Sixteen-point-five, I'm down to drink one

I see their ego's bright, I'm down to dim some

Chinese gyal and she down to dim sum

The ends never held no mercy (Mercy)

The young ones wanna be Van Persie (Persie)

The cries of a single Mum

Here's the sound of a single gun

Stray bullet to her only son

No father, so now he's the son of a—

Pain in the eyes of the holder

No pain when you shot the revolver


[Bridge]

Cry for me

Cry, cry, cry for me, don't cry for me

Cry for me

Cry, cry, cry for me, don't cry for me


[Chorus: BXKS]

If you look out the window you can see the fun never lasts

Had to let go, tight grip on the past

Writing's on the wall like a broken hand in a cast (Cast)

Had to do more, so I spoke up less

Just stuck in the middle of a broken mess

Had to do more, so I spoke up less

Just stuck in the middle of a broken mess (Mess)

[Interlude: Sié & BXKS]

I've been searching and hoping

Slowly finding that I don't belong here

Perfect timing is something that's unknown here

I just hold back no emotions anymore, but I'm okay, so I just pray that you don't

Cry for me (Don't cry for me)

Cry, cry, cry for me, don't cry for me (Yeah, yeah)


[Verse 2: BXKS]

Then it's back to basics

I got pain, the liquor won't fade it

Won't change, either way, finna make it

Never had a penny on the playground

So I can't sit around laid down thinkin' how I need to get paid now

I'm in the whip on the way now

I got a grip on the bottom for the window

Man, you know how the ting go


[Chorus: BXKS]

If you look out the window you can see the fun never lasts

Had to let go, tight grip on the past

Writing's on the wall like a broken hand in a cast (Cast)

Had to do more, so I spoke up less

Just stuck in the middle of a broken mess

Had to do more, so I spoke up less

Just stuck in the middle of a broken mess (Mess)


[Outro]

Cry for me, don't cry for me

At the end of the day, it's just tears on your face

Cry for me, don't cry for me

Cry for me, don't cry for me
