The "nuh" is pronounced with a short schwa vowel (a "mumbled" vowel, often represented as "uh" in spelling) and represents a clitic ("weakened") form of "no". It is the equivalent to the contraction "don't". The song is about growing up in the ghetto and persuading a woman that things will get better, entreating her not to cry . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> "No Woman, No Cry" </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Single by Fugees </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> from the album The Score </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Released </Th> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Format </Th> <Td> CD single </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Recorded </Th> <Td> 1995 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Genre </Th> <Td> Hip hop, reggae fusion </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Label </Th> <Td> Ruffhouse Records </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Producer (s) </Th> <Td> Salaam Remi </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Fugees singles chronology </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> <Table> <Tr> <Td> "Ready or Not" (1996) </Td> <Td> "No Woman, No Cry" (1996) </Td> <Td> "Rumble in the Jungle" (1997) </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> <Table> <Tr> <Td> "Ready or Not" (1996) </Td> <Td> "No Woman, No Cry" (1996) </Td> <Td> "Rumble in the Jungle" (1997) </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> </Tr> </Table>
