Don't Cry For Me Lyrics - Stormzy

See I love my hood, but the hood shit bugs me 

Cuh' man ah put the chrome to my mum then they see me and spud me 

And plus I got childhood friends that are schemin' to rush me 

So if I just pack my bags and I leave this fuckery 

Look, nobody judge me 

Now I'm just picturing charms all dressed in white 

On the steps with Christ 

Tryna tell my young Gs to relax and invest in life 

They invest in knives 

Man I was in my history class when my bredrin died 

So vexed that I cried 

But I come from a place where the mandem can't let shit slide 

So we rest in pride 

And it kills us slow 

But bro I don't need all that 

'Cuh the place where I live is the place I will die but I already preed all that 

Can't chat about pain, just look at my veins 

Look brudda, I bleed all that 

Damn, I just want all my people back, yo

In case you think I've changed and I'm different 

I'm not keeping you at a distance 

So have a thought for me, yeah 

Hold down this thought for me 

Remember the time before things changed? Back in the day 

Everything can stay the same 

Remember I came? Remember my name? 

Remember my face? 

I don't wanna fade away 

Don't cry for me 

Don't cry for me 

Oh no 

No, no 

Don't cry for me 

Don't cry for me 

Don't cry for me 

Yo 

Heart on my sleeve, let me open up 

TBT's on the block all posted up 

Me and them boy don't mix but I'll post it up 

And it ain't no family pic but it's close enough 

And look man, I still reminisce when I'm holdin' up 

I think about the past sometimes and I sober up 

'Cause if that boy looks back, it'll hold him up 

Man are out here beefin' like we ain't broke enough 

Swear these bruddas ain't woken up 

Like what have I done to deserve this life? 

I got brothers in the pen that will never see again 

Got my brothers dem servin' life 

And I know that you think that it serves 'em right 

But I come from a place where you burn or die 

Or we turn and ride 

So don't blame us when we turn to the dirt, we tried 

I just pray we fly, yo 

In case you think I've changed and I'm different 

I'm not keeping you at a distance 

So have a thought for me, yeah 

Hold down thought for me 

Remember the time before things changed? Back in the day 

Everything can stay the same 

Remember I came? Remember my name? 

Remember my face? 

I don't wanna fade away 

Don't cry for me 

Just take a shot for me 

Don't cry for me, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Don't cry, oh no 

Don't cry for me, no
