Mama, don’t cry for me
WHEN
I’m being disobedient
trying to get fortune and fame by
trading you in for the neighborhood gang.
Mama don’t shed a tear
WHEN
I run the streets all night and sleep all day
I disrespect you by talking back, wanting to get my way.
Mama, don’t cry for me and don’t post my bail
WHEN
The path I’ve chosen, from behind bars I look
All the things you taught me, the ways of God I forsook
Mama, don’t cry for me
WHEN
I allow promiscuity make me a parent too soon
My room is no longer mine, it’s become the baby’s room.
Mama don’t cry, to me your tears are beginning to look red
Your falling tears have become unnecessary bloodshed.
I thought I was grown, something within me cried out and told me to go
Mama, please don’t cry, I didn’t mean to hurt you so.
Mama, you’ve shed too many tears for too many years,
Mama, your eyes you must dry, for now it’s my turn to cry.
