Tomorrow's a Better Day - Tommy Lee Sparta

Sittin' on di corner

Watchin' the sun goes down

An mi missin' the place I’m from

Roll up a spliff

Hope to mi bottle ah rum

An tip a shot, fi ah friend weh gone

I know, I’m like ah shinin' star, I glow

I’m gonna light up this whole world

Don' worry, mommy I’ma mek you proud

Suh mama don’t cry

Keep yuh head high

Dry those tears out of your eyes

Tomorrow’s a better day

I’m on my way

Yeah

I’m on my way

Mhmmm

I remember growin' up

Mi used to sneak out on di block

My mama come around, know suh mi ah get boop

She used to mek mi read dem holy book

An hope seh, mi nuh grow up fi be nuh crook

But di street got mi hook

Mi run with a dangerous pack

Kick back pon di block, smoke weed an drink ya

Just relax, bun up di 2 pack

Bare badman tune man ah knock

Dem nigga say «Tommy nah guh live long»

But mi nuh say «Tommy ah live young»

Mi ah remember when di cops dem come down

Mi mother start bawl when she see mi pon di ground

Mama don’t cry

Keep yuh head high

Dry those tears out of your eyes

Tomorrow’s a better day

I’m on my way

Mhmmm

I’m on my way

Yeah

It ah break my bone

Never break my soul

'Cause ah man always holding my own

I’m a Soldier

Yow Jehovah

Always keep my head up, late night

Mama don’t wait up, street fights

Anuh every man survive, that mi realize

So Father God mi ah beg yuh, protect mi life

Father lord, protect yuh son (mhmmm)

Dem cyan gun me down (mhmmm)

Di police show me love

Send mi dreams to the sky, and watch dem pon di ground

Suh mama don’t cry

Keep yuh head high

Dry those tears out of your eyes

Tomorrow’s a better day

I’m on my way

I’m on my way

Mhmmm
