Lyrics

Mama, yuh son him wanted, aye
Wooo, yes
Well, woiyoi
Ah mi seh mama bend her belly and a bawl
Mama, yuh son him wanted
Him siddung in a yard deh, but him haunted
And though they might not charge him
Mi say, "The gallows and the guillotine a call him"
Mama, yuh son him wanted
Him siddung in a yard deh, but him haunted
And though they might not charge him
Mi say, "The gallows and the guillotine a call him"
Him violate the Soldier and the Sarge
Lock the place him and him entourage
Have you yard, you can’t even talk too hard
Tell me why your boy a gwaan so bad?
‘Member when him turn around the gun
And you realize a your time a come
Hard fi live you life pon the run
No sah badman life no look so fun
When you deh pon mattress inna bush a sleep
Wake up inna shoot out with police
Haffi pile and pack up in a Jeep
Is this the life you really want fi lead?
Now, seet dehall you daughter start fi teethe
What them ago do when she ask?
A weh daddy gone?
Mama yuh son him wanted
Him siddung in a yard deh, but him haunted
And though them might not charge him
The gallows and the guillotine
If you know wah me mean
Mama, yuh bwoi him wanted
Siddung in a yard deh, but him haunted
And though they might nuh charge him, no
The gallows and the guillotine
If you know wah me mean
Ayo, mi yute, if you a listen when mi talk
Any road ya pree fi walk it better you just bill back cause
The boy dem get the news and them a hunt you hard
Hear ‘bout the AR weh you have with the extra clip dem up a Aunt Gwen
Just think about the pressure you a rest pon mommy
The pain she bear oh gosh when she did have you in her tummy
A she you want identify yuh body?
You family dem tired fi a beg and bawl
And now dem hear yuh wanted
Siddung in a yard deh, but you haunted
And now them might not charge him
Oh gosh, the gallows and the guillotine
If you know wah me mean
Mama, yuh son him wanted
Him siddung in a yard deh but him haunted
And though they might not charge him, no
The gallows and the guillotine
If you know wah me mean
Well, woah-woah, woah, woah, ayy
Well no gosh
Oh yes yuh Mama bend her belly and a bawl
Well, no, no, no, no way
Well no, no, no, no
Oh gosh, I say yuh wanted, most
Somebody send, go call him
