    Watch Lil Wayne Tear Through Emotional ‘Don’t Cry’ on ‘Colbert’

    Lil Wayne unleashed a potent rendition of his Carter V cut “Don’t Cry” on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Wednesday.

    The performance found Wayne tearing through the track’s brutally honest bars about life, death, success and failure: “It was dark, now the sun back/ Hit me hard, but I punched back/ The wheels fell off, I rode the hubcap/ Is it suicide or it’s do or die?/ It’s newer days and it’s bluer skies.” After each torrential verse, Wayne unleashed the song’s howling chorus, belting, “Don’t cry” alongside a recording of accused domestic abuser and late rapper XXXTentacion.

    Lil Wayne released Tha Carter V in September after numerous delays. While the record technically follows Weezy’s 2011 effort, Tha Carter IV, the characteristically prolific rapper filled the interim years with a slew of mixtapes and other releases

    Lil Wayne will play a handful of shows this month on his TIDAL-backed “I Ain’t Shit Without You” tour. The trek kicks off December 17th in Houston, Texas and includes stops in Atlanta, Georgia, Washington, D.C. and Chicago, Illinois.

    Former Independent: This article is a good example of why we need to revise the immigration laws in the US to reflect today's situation. Few would bar legal immigrants access to areas in this country, but why do the courts and immigration department send people to cities/states without first consulting with the planners in those locales, for example?
