Crying Shame - Funky DL, Lei-an, Xantoné Blacq

Now tell me what they both supposed to do

They really don’t seem compatible and it’s a crying shame

She says he doesn’t do what he’s supposed to do

He says she never changes her attitude so it’s crying shame

Verse One

I knew this chick named «Shame» she was crying I asked why?

And she told me she ain’t trying to keep from dying

She’s half black and half Hawaiian and keeps lying to herself

And keeps denying that she can be much more

I pondered with such thought remained silent

She got a dude who’s very violent

He gives her black eyes when he cannot control her every movement

She wants it to stop but ain’t prepared to lose him

It sounds kind of stupid and now he moved in and ain’t left

Now being at home is like facing death

She doesn’t work she doesn’t study, he doesn’t worry

He’s out late she calls him «come home» he doesn’t hurry

And gets mad hen her family calls

Like she didn’t know nobody before, that’s not all

He forces her to take care of his son

No it’s not her child it’s a previous one while he’s out

With his friends having mad fun everyday

And treating life like a vacation

Yo but she get no part of that holiday

And now she on Prozac popping like one a day, it’s not a game

She let her dude become her downfall now it’s all looking grim

Now it’s not about her it’s all him

And everyday is like a loop of the day prior

But she doesn’t seem to tire, it’s a crying shame

Verse Two

Yo, I knew this dude called «Crying Shame» always weeping

Asked the reason and that’s when he commenced the speaking

About his girlfriend, no job, lazy person

Doesn’t work hard, sits around watching TV life easy

She flirts with his friends no ends to the nonsense

Doesn’t use her common sense, he the breadwinner

Comes home to find no dinner, stereo playing

Every other light is on when bills need paying

He’s sick with her lifestyle all has is just a nice smile

Cute style but her inside empty

No focus, she way past her early twenties

And her phone never stops ringing

She spends half the morning in the mirror singing

And eating all the groceries

Said he didn’t think that this the way that love supposed to be

Plus he thinks she got a man on the side

The way she whispers, she plays the mistress

And gets new jewels just after Christmas

It went from magic and turned to tragic

She steals from him and if he confronts her

She turns around to say she wouldn’t do that she loves him

It’s just words but they strong enough to keep em' together

So he lives through her every endeavour

And everyday is a repeat of the previous

But nothing changes so I guess it ain’t serious, a crying shame

Outro

Such a crying shame
