Mama, mi neva turn a docta and mi neva turn a lawyer

But your baby still a hold it

Cah mi nah beg nobody and mi nah be nah sponger

You neva grow mi so fi know it

Mamma you talk mi to on my own

Neva stop until I bring di food right home

And now I'm glad that you're around to see

Me haffi mek sure seh mi madda think good inna di street

Fi diss her nobody eva could inna di street cause

When no money neva deh deh

Mamma go own di food and di wear that she could inna di street

And now mi know she feel alright

Cause mi name nah call up inna di war light and mi see har

Platinum smile from a far

When she see di world

A call har baby a star
