What U Dyin' For Lyrics

[Intro]
Talk about it
Talk about it
It's a shame, yes a crazy crazy
Tell it to 'em

Heard you thought about comitting suicide
Was it your pride that made you wanna die
Leave your momma, wonder why
And your baby here to cry
And was it over a jilted lover
Trusted brother, operating undercover
Make you turn your back on your God

Tell me what you cryin' for, let him go
He don't want you no more

[1] - What you dyin' for, stupid
You'll never know
Cuz once yo' eyes are closed
That's all she wrote

Hey hey, bro' man, with the masterplan, craving in pain
Doing all you can to win your prima-donna
Sexy brown, coochy down
Thought the love you had was iron clad
But here you caught chillin' at your homeboy's pad
And now you wanna put a bullet in your cap
Are you mad

[2] - Tell me what you cryin' for
Let her go
She don't want you no more

[Repeat 1]

Messin' with your mental, tearing out your central
Focusing on that kinda stuff that don't amount to anything
I'm pressing you to enter into an agenda
Altered state of mind
That allows you to control your pain

Tell me what you crying for, let it go
He don't want you no more
Sugar, what you dying for (You'll see)
You'll never know
Cuz once your eyes are closed
That's all she wrote

[3] - What you crying for
Let it go
She don't want you no more

What you dyin' for stupid
You'll never know
Cuz once yo' eyes are closed
That's all she wrote

Listen see

[4] - Messin' with your mental, tearing out your central
Focusing on that kinda stuff that don't amount to anything
I'm pressing you to enter into a agenda
That state of mind
That allows you to control the pain

[Repeat 4]

[Repeat 2]
[Repeat 2]

Angie Stone (born Angela Laverne Brown in January 30, 1961, in Columbia, South Carolina) is a Grammy Award-nominated American R&B, hip-hop, and neo-soul singer and actress. Stone's music possesses a clear old school soul music influence, and her singing vocals recall those of Aretha Franklin.


In the early 1980s, Stone (as 'Angie B'), was a member of The Sequence, the first major female hip-hop group. They had a hit in 1980 with "Funk You Up". She then worked with Mantronix, before teaming up and performing vocals and saxophone for Lenny Kravitz.


Angie Stone emerged during the 1990's as part of hip-hop/R&B trio Vertical Hold which released the popular single "Seems You're Much Too Busy" as well as two albums: A Matter Of Time (June 1993) and Head First (1995).

In 1996, she teamed up with Gerry Deveaux (Lenny Kravitz's cousin from The Bahamas) and together with Charlie Mole they formed Devox. One album received a Japanese-only release including Stone-penned or co-written material.

Angie Stone shared song-writing credits on D'Angelo's first two studio album's (1995 - Brown Sugar and 2000 - Voodoo) as well as providing backing vocals on tour with him.

She released her first solo album, Black Diamond, released on 28 September 1999 via Arista Records. She has since also released, via Clive Davis' J Records, Mahogany Soul on October 16, 2001 and Stone Love on July 6, 2004.

Much of Angie Stone's solo material has a significant hip-hop influence and features notable samples. For example, her first solo single, 1999's "No More Rain (In This Cloud)" samples Gladys Knight & the Pips' 1972 "Neither One Of Us (Want To Be The First To Say Goodbye)", and 2002 "Wish I Didn't Miss You" samples The O'Jays' 1972 "Back Stabbers".

Angie Stone sings the theme song for the UPN sitcom Girlfriends.
She has two children, a daughter and a son. The son is the child of neo-soul singer D'Angelo, whom she dated during the 1990's.
