The song "Cry No More" by G Herbo addresses the harsh realities of street life and the emotional toll it takes on individuals. In the lyrics, G Herbo talks about the streets and how there's no saving those involved in that lifestyle. He mentions his grandmother praying to the Lord for protection and expresses the need to retaliate if someone from his circle is harmed. His "lil shorty" (a younger acquaintance) will take action when he's bored, always trying to make a name for himself. G Herbo reflects on his own experiences, mentioning the pain he felt after a loss and the numbing effect of drugs and lean (a type of cough syrup often used recreationally). Despite trying to dull his emotions, he admits that he doesn't want to cry anymore and wants to move on from the despair. He then delves into the violence within his community, describing a situation where his friend was shot and killed. He talks about seeking revenge with firearms, as well as his own near-death experiences. G Herbo is haunted by the constant threat of violence and expresses his frustration with the police and their aggression towards him. The lyrics also touch on the importance of family and the toll that losing loved ones takes on him. He doesn't want to continually experience loss and is determined to protect those close to him. G Herbo acknowledges the dangers of his lifestyle but also feels compelled to stay true to his surroundings. Overall, "Cry No More" is a raw and introspective song that explores the trauma, pain, and resilience of G Herbo's lived experiences in the streets.
