Richie Campbell - Man don't cry 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 don't cry
But me no see no reason fi me smile
They say man don't 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 don't 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 don't cry
But me no see no reason fi me smile
They say man don't 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 don't 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 don't cry
But me no see no reason fi me smile
They say man don't 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 don't 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 don't cry
But me no see no reason fi me smile
They say man don't 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 don't cry
But people living like it easier fi die
