About I Cry

"I Cry" is a song by American hip hop artist Flo Rida. The track was first released on September 18, 2012 as the fourth single from his fourth studio album, Wild Ones. The song is based on Bingo Players' "Cry (Just a Little)" which samples "Piano in the Dark" by Brenda Russell. "I Cry" was produced by the French production duo soFLY & Nius and the Futuristics, and it was written by Flo Rida, The Futuristics, Scott Cutler, Jeffrey Hull, Brenda Russell, and soFLY & Nius. "I Cry" received mixed reviews from music critics, who criticized its lyrical content and production, and stated that it would have been better with a collaboration with Sia Furler, who previously collaborated with Flo Rida on the song, "Wild Ones". However, some critics were positive towards its catchiness and club-nature. The song received commercial success upon its release, peaking inside the top ten in many countries including Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States. A music video was released for the single on YouTube. This song is the second track on Now 45.

(I know caught up in the middle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go
(Oh no gave up on the riddle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go

I know you wanna get behind the wheel but only one Rida
Eyes shut still got me swimming like a diver
Can't let go i got fans in Okinawa
My heart to Japan quake losers and survivors
Norway no you didn't get my flowers
No way to sound better but the killer was a coward
Face just showers, the minute in a hour
Heard about the news all day went sour
Lil mama got me feeling like a Lemonhead
Put you in the box just the presidents cigarettes
Give em my regards or regardless i get arrested
Ain't worried about the killers just the young and restless
Get mad 'cause a quarter million on my necklace
DUI never said i was driving reckless
You and I or jealously was not oppressive
Oh no i can't stop i was destined

(I know caught up in the middle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go
(Oh no gave up on the riddle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go

(I know caught up in the middle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go
(Oh no gave up on the riddle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go

Champagne buckets still got two tears in it
And i put that on my tattoo of Jimi Hendrix
Get depressed 'cause the outfit all in it
'Cause the press tell it all get a meal ticket
Clean next get a call just a lil' visit
Sacrifice just to make a hit still vivid
Reality see when your blessed just kill critics
Buggatti never when im rich, just god fearing
Look at me steering, got the blogs staring
Gotta good feeling, plus the right caring, tell his Billie Jeans
I'm on another planet
Thank E-Class, Big Chuck or Lee Prince Perries
Buy my momma chandeliers on my tears dammit
Thirty years you had thought these emotions vanish
Tryna live tryna figure how my sister vanish
No cheers i know you wouldn't panic

(I know caught up in the middle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go
(Oh no gave up on the riddle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go

(I know caught up in the middle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go
(Oh no gave up on the riddle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go

When i need a healing, i just look up to the ceiling
I see the sun coming down i know its all better now
When i need a healing, i just look up to the ceiling
I see the sun coming down i know its all better now
When i need a healing, i just look up to the ceiling
I see the sun coming down i know its all better now
When i need a healing, i just look up to the ceiling
I see the sun coming down i know its all better now

(I know) I think of letting go
(I know caught up in the middle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go
(Oh no gave up on the riddle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go

(I know caught up in the middle I cry, just a little) when I think of letting go
(Oh no gave up on the riddle I cry, just a little when I think of letting go)
