Wrong Room - Shaggy

Yeah

More time, yuh haffi wake up enuh

I was never born with a golden spoon

(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

And I never really like going to school

(No-oh-oh-oh)

But you should know momma never raise no fool

(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

She told me

If you’re the smartest person in that room

(Words my momma say)

You’re in the wrong room

Land a di sunshine

There were some fun times

I remember when it all

Turned into gun times

When forces combine

Defend di front line

I was with my mother

She was my bloodline

(Even though we felt)

And even though we felt like the target

Protect each other, every journey we walk it

(She way my shoulder)

She was my shoulder, I was her soldier

We kinda drifted, as I got older

If I’m her go to, then who’s my go-to?

Without my go-to, who do I go to?

I’m in the wrong room

I was never born with a golden spoon

(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

And I never really like going to school

(No-oh-oh-oh)

But you should know momma never raise no fool

(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

She told me

If you’re the smartest person in that room

(Words my momma say)

You’re in the wrong room

From I was christened

It was my mission

My star it glistened

Wid pure ambition

(From all the bruises, I learned to be strong)

I tried to talk less

And learned to listen

I figred out how to

Play my position

Some people have sight

But I got vision

At times I move like

A politician

I try my best to

Form coalitions

So I can outdo

The competition

If I’m her go to, then who’s my go-to?

Without my go-to, who do I go to?

I’m in the wrong room

I was never born with a golden spoon

(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

And I never really like going to school

(No-oh-oh-oh)

But you should know momma never raise no fool

(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

She told me

If you’re the smartest person in that room

(Words my momma say)

You’re in the wrong room

I’m a student of the street

Always let faith guide my feet

Love is sometimes bittersweet

Loyalty is more concrete 'cause

Be careful who yuh put yuh faith in

(Yeah-hey-hey)

Good to know who you’re embracing

Sometimes yuh got to do some replacing

(Yeah hey hey)

Pay attention to the vibe when they’re hating

I was never born with a golden spoon

(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

And I never really like going to school

(No-oh-oh-oh)

But you should know momma never raise no fool

(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

She told me

If you’re the smartest person in that room

(Words my momma say)

You’re in the wrong room

(Oh-oh-oh, I, I)

An even though mi neva like guh school

But you should know momma never raise no fool
