Mama before me take up a girl
You are my queen me haffi give you the world
Take you to places the others have never heard
You grow we smart but you never raise a nerd
Frequent flights like we live pon iron bird
Morewhile a just cornmeal and flour
But you work your magic when you open the cupboard
Always a pray even when me act stubborn
Mama
You want the best for me
Nine months inna your tummy mommy you carry me
Nah fi ask I know that it wasn't easy
Dem seh me and you look alike fi real
You want the best for me
Nine months inna your tummy mommy you carry me
Nah fi ask I know that it wasn't easy
Dem seh me and you look alike fi real
Dahlia full a patience more than a doctor
Stay real right thru you're not an actor
Proud family but no Trudy and Oscar
Well strong cause you did feed we pon Foska
You say Jxhn Banks don't make them take your laughter
Nuff a parent but dem a imposter
We never had nothing but we had one another
Nuclear fam with sister brothers
Nuclear bomb to the neglectful mothers
Aging but she hotter than the patty dem a Mother's.
She make we know there's more to life than the dollars
Soul salvation more important than commas
Mi graduate from your school wid high honors
But you teach me everyday like me a do mi masters
Dem love your children, cah dem say we full a manners
This mama track really has to be a banga
You want the best for me
Nine months inna your tummy mommy you carry me

Fuss me a see somebody full a faith suh
Mommy suh humble, kind pretty and gracious
Woulda buy you a house weh well spacious
Make you stop go work and do weh u love
Invest inna the biz, help design stuff
Manufactured overseas, yea it ago tuff
Had the concept but it did rough
But when it buss me know the yutes ago have it nuff
Dahlia, Dean, cya tell me say mother mean
When she touch inna the scheme, from far you see a queen and mi nah talk Queens
No meat she nuh eat, but a cabbage dat a steam
High school mommy fix me lunch wid the broad beans
Suh me nuh drop dung inna trees

You want the best for me
