CeeLo Green - Tears of Joy lyrics

Newton says that, "Power is the ability to define phenomena and make it act in a desired manner." Power is the ability to define phenomena and make it act in a desired manner. Power: if we have the ability to define it, the only next thing to do is get organized. So when a pig walks up to you, or when a pig gets to jiving with the people you be so organized you be learning some tactics, you be learning some revolutionary principles, you be having some guns hid out somewhere, you have some proper tactics that when the pig gets to jiving with you, the pig is wrong, you whip your guns out on him, blow him a-way, and then you have made the ability, in fact, you have made that pig act in a desired manner [Intro: Rick Ross] Smokin' a fat spliff in a brand new Benz No I.D. on the track let the story begin, begin [Verse 1: Rick Ross] Lookin' in the mirror but I don't see much Still runnin' the streets so I don't sleep much Watchin' the snakes so they don't creep up, but the way I'm gettin' this money n***as can't keep up, you n***as can't keep up n***as got beef but it can't be much I'm still walkin' through the crowds like I can't be touched Top back all black Gretzky puck Ice skater lil' later might let me f**, damn she might let me f** Last night I cried tears of joy What did I do to deserve this? Vacheron on my wrist a year ago I didn't even know the b**h exist Quarter milli for the mothaf**a No insurance on the mothaf**a Ain't life a b**h, but you gotta keep her wet Keys open doors so I gotta keep a set Everybody know that I'm a lotta people's threat Biggie Smalls in the flesh livin' life after my d**h Yesterday I read my horoscope Tell me Lord will I be poor and broke Tell me Lord will I be dealin' dope I wanna take my momma to the Poconos, but only the Lord knows [Hook: Cee-Lo Green] To all the loved ones I leave behind At least they can't see me cry And I ask, when someone wants to be me why Thought havin' everything would ease my mind If you could read my mind My God, I'm scarred, I have tattoo tears of joy [Verse 2: Rick Ross] Last night I cried tears of joy What did I do to deserve this? Young rich motherf**er still uneducated But dammit a n***a made it, goddamn a n***a made it Crib bigger than a church, Lord know I'm blessed Five different lawyers, Lord know I'm stressed A punch in the face get you 300K, ask Vlad Now he back to makin' minimum wage, another victim of my criminal ways I wanna walk in the image of Christ But that b**h Vivica nice And I'm still swimmin' in ice I'm just livin' my life, I'm just livin' my life Lease a Lamborghini for your p**y rate Life is just a p**y race Snatch a b**h take her back to your place Next morning I can tell you how the p**y taste, I got expensive taste [Hook: Cee-Lo Green] To all the loved ones I leave behind At least they can't see me cry And I ask, when someone wants to be me why Thought havin' everything would ease my mind If you could read my mind My God, I'm scarred, I have tattoo tears of joy [Verse 3: Rick Ross] Last night I cried tears of joy What did we do to deserve this? Not to dwell on the the past but to keep it real I gotta represent for Emmett Till, all the dead souls in the field Lookin at my Rollie it's about that time White man had a problem with mine And we suppose to be shy? The revolutions televised, Bobby still on the rise [Hook: Cee-Lo Green] To all the loved ones I leave behind At least they can't see me cry And I ask, when someone wants to be me why Thought havin' everything would ease my mind If you could read my mind My God, I'm scarred, I have tattoo tears of joy
