(Verse 1):
From the day I was born, September, one nine nine two
Never told me we were broke, even work 2 jobs to put me through school, boohoo
Daddy was hope but he hoping to gamble his money all away
But I never blamed him - cause without him never would've been ShiGGa Shay
Now stop the loan sharks,
Like everyday from the morn' till the dark they be knocking at the door
Imagine I was 6, helplessly just begging on the floor
So I swore I'mma be famous, buy mama that house that we couldn't afford
Never let her shed another tear, take away fear, when it rains it pours
(Chorus):X2
Mama don't cry, don't cry
I don't ever wanna see you cry again
Mama don't cry, don't cry
Ya baby boy's here to dry ya eyes
(Verse 2):
Let's go back
Back to when we couldn't afford a Happy Meal
No money no money
But Mama made sure I was happy still
Had a thought and a big dream
Said I was going to be a very big star
Told me to go far, even when everyone around me looked at me bizarre
Had a real big drive with no car, and now you front row watching me with Stefanie Sun
You can finally sit around dinner and tell all of your friends that it had to be ya son
And I owe you my whole life, without you there would never be no me
So I thank you ma, for believing my dreams when nobody else believed
(Chorus):X2
Mama don't cry, don't cry
I don't ever wanna see you cry again
Mama don't cry, don't cry
Ya baby boy's here to dry ya eyes
(Breakdown Sample of ShiGGa's childhood recording of his Mother and him in 1997)
(Chorus):
妈妈别哭，别哭
I don't ever wanna see you cry again
妈妈别哭，别哭
I don't ever wanna see you cry, you cry
别哭别哭
I don't ever wanna see you cry again
妈妈别哭，别哭
别哭别哭
