Lyrics:
Don't skip that one yah,
Turn up the volume fi that one yah, i swear.
If you miss a word pull up and come again.
Me get up in the night because me empty belly pain me
So me cry eye water, cry eye water.
Look a drink fi trick the hunger but me find out seh dem
Cut me water.
Them say man dont cry,
But me no see no reason fi me smile.
They say man dont cry,
but me no hear no laughing for a while.
And them say man fi tough up
Never ball and give up.
Put a smile pon your face no matter how life mash up
Man dont cry,
But people living like it easier fi die.
I beg unoo please go dung deh,
Nuh good no deh dung deh,
Take a drive through di ghetto and go hear weh dem seh,
See weh dem deh, no hope nuh deh in deh.
How mother father bredda son fi sleep in a twin bed
Buss a blank and pull up this one,
I beg you do nuh skip this one.
Close your eyes and medz this one,
Ghetto people sing along.
Them say man dont cry,
But me no see no reason fi me smile.
They say man dont cry,
but me no hear no laughing for a while.
And them say man fi tough up
Never ball and give up.
Put a smile pon your face no matter how life mash up
Man dont cry,
But people living like it easier fi die.
Me want live fi see me son become a doctor,
Not a gangsta, that a nuh the answer.
Me daugther nuh fi sell her body pon nuh corner
Like marijuana, that a nuh the plan nah
Put my hands up in the sky and pray for better days,
Pray my lord to guide me through the fire and the rain.
Them say man dont cry,
But me no see no reason fi me smile.
They say man dont cry,
but me no hear no laughing for a while.
And them say man fi tough up
Never ball and give up.
Put a smile pon your face no matter how life mash up
Man dont cry,
But people living like it easier fi die.
Them say man don't cry but that tear yah real that the gunshot me hear last night
Them say man don't cry but tell that to the father weh a try feed him kids at night
Tell him man don't cry, man nuh fi cry, tell me why...
But nobody can tell me nuh fi cry.
Them say man dont cry,
But me no see no reason fi me smile.
They say man dont cry,
but me no hear no laughing for a while.
And them say man fi tough up
Never ball and give up.
Put a smile pon your face no matter how life mash up
Man dont cry,
But people living like it easier fi die.
