'Cause I’ve seen Mom been through great tribulation

Mama you strong,

Cause Mommy haffi hol' a Jah Jah fi keep her tranquil

Mi respect Mommy inna di days she had di skill

When Daddy couldn’t find money fi facilitate di bill

She never fulfill from no handout, she a chill

She say where there’s a way there must be a will

She nuh come fi breakdown, she only come fi build

And I fear, nervous upon di will

Mi wish her everliving life, she never get kill

Remember the days of the cradle?

Mommy ah you cut di string from the navel

And yuh always willing and able

Fi make sure there’s good food 'pon the table

Well Daddy is a man who’s sometimes unstable

Anyway yuh know him is a ol' rebel

Always a talk 'bout yuh terrible

But one ting him couldn’t a call yuh nuh devil

'Cause it a you take it to another level

Make sure di yout' dem live comfortable

Make life possible, you never tremble
