“Ain’t No Crying” is a Dream SMP song about the hardships and mental conflicts the SMP characters felt through wars like the war between the two nations, Manberg and Pogtopia, and the Doomsday War that effectively disbanded the newly rebuilt L'Manberg. The song is accompanied by heavy clapping and m...
[Verse 1]
What am I fighting for?
Whose side am I on?
Lost everything in the crossfire
Witness the wreckage at dawn
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it enough and you start believing
They can tell you that it's righteous
Keep your chin up in the crisis
Say it enough and you start believing
In the glory, in the justice
They will drill it into your head
[Chorus]
Ain't no crying 'til the war's done
Ain't no crying 'cause the fighting's just begun
No crying 'til the sun comes
'Til the sun comes up, 'til the sun comes up
[Post-Chorus]
Ain't no crying (No crying), no crying, no
Ain't no crying (No crying), no crying, no
Ain't no crying (No crying), no crying
'Til the sun comes up, 'til the sun comes up
[Verse 2]
In the division, make your decision
Every shoulder you've leaned on is the one you will turn on
Burn it to ashes, watch as it crashes
Nobody left to forgive or forget
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it enough and you start believing
They can tell you that it's righteous
Keep your chin up in the crisis
Say it enough and you start believing
In the glory, in the justice
They will drill it into your head
[Chorus]
Ain't no crying 'til the war's done
Ain't no crying 'cause the fighting's just begun
No crying 'til the sun comes
'Til the sun comes up, 'til the sun comes up
[Post-Chorus]
Ain't no crying (No crying), no crying, no
Ain't no crying (No crying), no crying, no
Ain't no crying (No crying), no crying
'Til the sun comes up, 'til the sun comes up
[Bridge]
What am I fighting for?
What have I done?
What am I dying for?
What have we all become?
[Outro]
Make you live through the pressure
Make you live through the pain
Sacrifice you for nothing
We're still dying in vain

I think the song can apply to a TON of characters from the [Dream] SMP (I tried to make it super generalized) but Jack [Manifold] and Niki [Nihachu]’s acting and lore right after Doomsday were the initial inspiration for it

On Twitter, Derivakat stated:
while “Ain’t No Crying” had an alt rock/grungy sort of feeling, “Doomsday” has a cinematic/intense feeling. “Ain’t No Crying” was inspired by the pov of all the citizens of l’manburg that got caught up in the fight, while “Doomsday” is more the pov from the attacking s...
