(Intro)
9 months shi carry mi in are belly
Shi seh shi feel proud when shi si mi pon the tele
Anytime shi ring mi phone, mi answer mi celly
A mi mother that, mi love are gone straight to the Henny
Before shi suffer mi a dead like Machiavelli
Some bwoy gi dem riches to Ivet and Shelly
But my mother haffi come first
Ghetto youths unu put mama first
(Chorus)
Yow a gyal could a pretty like purl
Do all the nice things in this world
Shi cyaa come befor my mother
Cyaa come before my mother
And a gyal could a wicked an wild
And a kill mi wid the wickedest style
Cyaa come before my mother
Cyaa come before my mother
(Verse 1)
Mama cook mi food
Mama wash mi clothe
Anytime mi sick a mama clean mi nose yea
Cyaa pay are fi things like those
And fi the rest a are life a chocolate an rose
Mama is always there for me
Shi never let I down because shi care for me
Haffi love mama for the world to see
From now till eternity
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Mi naw buy no gyal no Bimma and meck mi mother haffi tek bus
Before mi meck my mother suffer, mi rather dead first
Cause if shi did dash mi weh mi wouldn’t born
Shi deh yah wid mi right through the storm
When nothing naw gwaan, mama was always there
Show love and compassion cause shi always care
I never dis mama or papa I swear
If a no dem I would not be here
(Repeat Chorus)
(Outro)
Mama you know I love you
Mama you know I care
So in the times of trouble
In times a dis pear
Mama call up pon yo son and I will be there
Stand firm an proudly I have no fear
Love mama put yo hands in the air
(Repeat Chorus)
