Mamma, I would never let you down

I'll never go away, I'll always be around

You know why you do it, such love that you found

I'm always gonna let you wear that crown

Through the roughest of times you maintain your calm

Jah was your only help while shelterin' me from the storm

And when it's cold you wrap me in a towel, so warm

Oh ma, oh ma I'm so glad I was born

Thank you mamma for the nine months you carried me through

All this pain and sufferin'

You're the one that teaches me all the good from the bad

Even when the system keep pressurin' my dad

You got high hopes, thanks be unto the most high God

Thank you mamma for the nine months you carried me through

All this pain and sufferin'

Thank you mamma for the nine months you carried me through

All this pain and sufferin'

All my dreams and aspirations, I owe it all to you

This my words and my offering

I'm a big man now, that's how things go

Things you do to survive, only Jah, he knows

Fiercely protecting us while watchin' us grow

You been up even when it's on the down-low

Work so hard to see us go to school

Blisters on your fingers, so they can't take us for fool

I'm here for a purpose, I'm here to rule

Most high Jah Rastafari will see us through

Thank you mamma for the nine months you carried me through

All this pain and sufferin'

Thank you mamma for the nine months you carried me through

All this pain and sufferin'

No one knows the pressure you bear, just only you, oh

Now it's my turn to make life, I'm so mature

Now I got my kids and my life and I'm positively sure

I'm doing fine and still can be so much more

You've prepare me for the future, my love you deserve

Keep doing your thing, while others not knowing

But deep inside your heart, mamma, you know where it was going

Can a mother lose her tender care for her child that she's been showin'?

Somehow, your stars keeps glowin'

Thank you mamma for the nine months you carried me through

All this pain and sufferin'
