Mama say, mama say, don’t you follow bad company
Mama say, mama say, don’t trust strangers along the way
Mama say, mama say, the seed wa yo sow you a go reap today

The devil find work fi idlers
So be progressive
The youths dem now a days no get no positive message
Everyone a bad man
Everyone aggressive
The negativity too excessive
People a weep and morn

Some a go the wrong way claim them a hunt cream fi the cone
Jah jah bless my own
Member

Here I am as a man
Mama discipline a it meck mi stand strong
{Repeat Chorus}
