[Verse 1]
Mother, I’m not gonna lie to you, and tell you that I’m happy
I’m not gonna lie to you, and tell you that I don’t have any scars or sadness
So many times I’ve kept things from you, and told you I’m fine
Told you it’s all oke, and in my heart fatigued
I hide from you the struggles on the streets, even though I know you know how I feel
In your face I smile, and the tears dried up in my eyes
Always telling you I’m oke, even when I’m messed up
My mother is there for me, in freedom and in jail
The only pеrson who never let mе down
The only person who cried for me straight out of her heart
So many times she stayed up late, she fed, and raised
So many tears she wiped from my eyes, and loved me
May Allah swt give her a long life, forever on my side
When everybody let me down, she stood next to me
She never left my side, even when I was in a coma
She never let me down, even when I was locked up in jail


[Chorus]
Don’t cry, mom don't cry
Your tears are expensive, and apart from you I have nobody
Don’t cry mom, don’t cry
Don’t cry, separating from you is not possible
Don’t cry, mom don't cry
Your tears are expensive, and apart from you I have nobody
Don’t cry mom, don’t cry
Don’t cry, separating from you is not possible

[Verse 2]
Trust me Mom, the only rose in my life
Even when I try to express myself, it will never be enough
I feel my whole life I’m falling short for you
Even when I go around the Kaaba, and make request’s in my prayer
Mother, I love you so much
Pray for me and keep praying for me, from your curse I fear
I hope God helps me, so I can give you everything that’s gone
I want you to be comfortable so my heart is at ease
Pray for me and be patience, don’t stress your mind
I’m here with you till the end, I’m your blood
Mom you’re my blood, and I’m proud to be your son
May Allah swt give you a long life, till you see your grandkids
Grow up infront of you, and your prayers I wear as a crown
I'll die for you, I'll do everything for you
You've raised your kids to be men, when I was young I don't forget
How much patient you had with us, I'll give you my breath

[Chorus]
Don’t cry, mom don't cry
Your tears are expensive, and apart from you I have nobody
Don’t cry mom, don’t cry
Don’t cry, separating from you is not possible
Don’t cry, mom don't cry
Your tears are expensive, and apart from you I have nobody
Don’t cry mom, don’t cry
Don’t cry, separating from you is not possible
