[Intro]
Yeah
Hmm
Gotta hold back tears sometimes, man

[Chorus]
I think about my n!gga Chris, I gotta hold back tears
Think about B-Wiz, I gotta hold back tears
Think about Melec’s son, I gotta hold back tears
Think about Derek Bishop, gotta hold back tears
Think about Monet’s son, I gotta hold back tears
Monet is like a brother to me, s*it, we go back years

Think about my grandmother, gotta hold back tears
Crazy Eight riding, gotta hold back tears

[Refrain]
Ayo, I cried when Dough Boy died
I cried when ‘Chine Gun Black died
Tears burst out of my eyes
Yo, I cried when D-Black died
Ayo, I cried when ‘Liq Racks died
Tears burst out of my eyes

[Interlude]
Yeah
Somebody said I sounded depressed in a lot of my songs now
S*it, hell yeah, I’m depressed, I lost a child, n!gga
You know the love don’t feel real no more, homie
I’m fu*ked up for real

[Verse]
You ever lost somebody close to your heart, then you know the feeling
To get Crazy Eight and my granny back, I’d give back these millions
I wish she lived long enough to meet my two children
People don’t know what I been going through and what I been feeling
Truth is I’m spiraling, feel like I’m ’bout to lose it
My label only concern is, “When you turning in the music?”

And I ain’t tryna come off ungrateful, that’d be foolish
It turned me into a recluse, but I ain’t the dude to make excuses
It’s useless, they like, “Machine, why you ghost us for?”
I care a lot until I don’t no more
I isolate myself to heal so I don’t hurt no more
Keep picking at that same scab, gon’ leave an open sore
Look like I’m good on the surface, inside, I’m hurting
I just hope when it’s over, I’m worthy of Allah’s mercy
Have mercy

[Chorus]
I think about my n!gga Chris, I gotta hold back tears
Think about B-Wiz, I gotta hold back tears
Think about Melec’s son, I gotta hold back tears
Think about Derek Bishop, gotta hold back tears
Think about Monet’s son, I gotta hold back tears
Monet is like a brother to me, s*it, we go back years
Think about my grandmother, gotta hold back tears
Crazy Eight riding, gotta hold back tears

[Refrain]
Ayo, I cried when Dough Boy died
I cried when ‘Chine Gun Black died
Tears burst out of my eyes
Yo, I cried when D-Black died
Ayo, I cried when ‘Liq Racks died
Tears burst out of my eyes

[Outro: Crazy Eight]
Yo, Demond, this Crazy Eight, man
I was just calling to see how you was doing, I ain’t what s*it, man
I heard your new songs, man, I’m proud of you, man
I love you, man
You know what I’m saying, keep doing your thing, man
And don’t let nobody ask you for s*it
‘Cause ain’t nobody give you s*it, you heard?
Love you, one
