Dry Your Eyes -- Sean Kingston

(**)  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

Only 15 put under pressure First month 27th day, 
They took away my mother I was left to be raised by my

brother Taught to be a hustla Mommy gone gotta stick together
Stay strong through the stormy weather Became a top seller,

look how we stackin this cheddar When you jump mommy life would be better Just like Rihanna you can stand under my umbrella  You know how to make me better  Even when we lose our cheddar Even through the stormy weather
You hold me down

17 got a little money Feelin kinda blue Cause it's lookin you doin 10 to 20 Ridin bein broke ain't funny It's all bein hungry
But I'mma 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 I'mma buy you Miami So when I win my Grammy
you commin cause I do this for my family  You know how to

make me better Even when we lose our cheddar
Even through the stormy weather You hold me down

17 now my Mommy's 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

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  You know how to make me better Even when we lose our cheddar Even through the stormy weather  You hold me down

Kingston told, regarding the hardship of watching his mother and sister being sent to prison when he was just 15 years old: "I always had my brother. But, when my mother and sister went away, it took a lot out of me: My sister went away for four months, while my mom has been away for over two years now . But, while I missed her like crazy, I actually used that as my motivation for writing that song. I'm basically telling her 'We've been through a lotta stuff and the struggle's been crazy. But don't cry - everything's gonna be cool.'
