The Heart Gently Weeps - Wu-Tang Clan, Erykah Badu, Dhani Harrison

Shh, shh, shh, shh

Wu, Wu, Tang, Tang

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

Snowy night, fiends basing

A raisin in the sun was amazing

The joint on the dresser, a gauge went off

Jumped up, fish tank, it fell, and they stuck

They shot her cousin LaVon, he owed a buck

Willie was awful, pulled out the ratchet, let off two

Grits fell on his leg, Kiana ripped the cold boo'

He violent, an Island nigga with the talent

Of six killas who just came home, from straight wildin'

Robbin everything in Macy’s, Lacy, short haircut

With long arms, who fuck niggas, got four babies

Yvette jabbed her, slapped her wig off, ran in the crib

She did the dumb shit, my nigga done clapped her

Lester, smoked Chester sister Vest, I heard it was a mess

They ripped the apple out her throat, blessed her

Hungry hyenas from Medina, all A-trainers

Who got reluct', think fast and blast for Beamers

Yeah, yo, I brought my bitch out to Pathmark, she’s pushin the cart

Headed to aisle four, damn, I got milk on my Clark’s

That’s what I get, not focusin from hittin that bark

My mouth dried, need plenty water quick, I feel like a shark

In the aisle, bustin them paper towels and wipin my Wally’s down

I stood up to face a barrel, he’s holding a shiny pound

It’s him, he want revenge, I murdered his Uncle Tim

I sold him a bag of dope, his wife came and copped again

That bitch is crazy

And, uh, she brought her baby

She knew I had the murders a smack, it killed her man though

Now I got his fuckin' nephew grippin' his gat

You’s a bitch

You better kill me

You know you booty

You pulled your toolie out on me

Motherfucker!

First thought was to snatch the ratchet

Said fuck it and fuckin grabbed it

I ducked, he bucked twice, this nigga was fuckin laughin

I wrestled him to the ground, tustle, scuffle, constantly kicked him

He wouldn’t let go the joint, so I fuckin bit him

Shots was whizzin, hittin Clorox bottles

Customers screamin, then the faggot ran out of hollows

I had to show him what it’s all about

Next thing you read in the paper:

«A man who came to kill gets knocked out»

I don’t know why nobody told you

Man’s not supposed to cry

Though we’re just babies, and it’s so crazy

How tears of joy bring so much life

Yo, ayo, yo, yo

You on your way to the store?

Nigga grab me a Dutch

I’m mad as fuck, my dude

My count was short when I was baggin it up

Now I need liquor, nigga pass me a cup

What’s up with Officer Brown?

The other day, he tried to shackle me up

He killed Kase, and now, he hassling us

This motherfucker got balls

Even the gall to try and patting me up

Time to re-up, let these niggas know we back on the block

With three hundred off a G-pack, crack in the spot

I don’t know why nobody told you

A man’s not supposed to cry

Though we’re just babies, and it’s so crazy

How tears of joy bring so much life

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
