Dry Your Eyes
Sean Kingston · Sean Kingston [2007]
I know we've been through hard times and the struggles
And I just wanna tell you I love you (I love you)
(Verse 1)
Only 15 put under pressure
First month 27th day,
They took away my mother
I was left to be raised by my brother
Tought to be a hustla
Mommy gone gotta stick together
Stay strong through the stormy weather
Became a top seller, look how we stackin this chedder
When you jump mommy life would be better
Just like Rihanna you can stand under my umbrella
(Hook)
You know how to make me better
Even when we lose our chedder
Even through the stormy weather
You hold me down
(Chorus)
Mommy just dry your eyes, mommy dont you cry
I know we've been through hard times and the struggles
And I just wanna tell you I love you (I love you)
(x2)
(Verse 2)
17 got a little money
Feelin kinda blue
Cause it's lookin you doin 10 to 20
Ridin bein broke aint funny
It's all bein hungry
But ima keep hustlin for my mommy
Until I get rich like puffy
Never had a blamby
You said I can be all I can be
Some day Ima buy you miami
So when I win my Grammy
you commin cause I do this for my family
(Hook)
You know how to make me better
Even when we lose our chedder
Even through the stormy weather
You hold me down
(Chorus)
Mommy just dry your eyes, mommy dont you cry
I know we've been through hard times and the struggles
And I just wanna tell you I love you (I love you)
(x2)
(Bridge)
17 now my mommys gone
Cant wait till she come back home
Missin her face like dust till dawn,while she went away
Never think it be this long
I feel like cryin while I'm writin this song
Cant wait till that day come on
When she leave the place
(Speaking)
Hey whats up mom,how you doin?
Its been about 2 years since I saw your face
I miss you like crazy
Know the money orders the pre paid costs
Bein on my own
No Knee Kurt Canino
But I love you though
This for you
(Hook)
You know how to make me better
Even when we lose our chedder
Even through the stormy weather
You hold me down
(Chorus)
Mommy just dry your eyes, mommy dont you cry
I know we've been through hard times and the struggles
And I just wanna tell you I love you (I love you)
(x2)
