Oh oh

Mmmm.


Verse:

Sitting on the corner

Watching the sun go down

Reminiscing the place I'm from

Roll up a spliff, Open mi bokkle a rum

An take a shot fi a friend who died

I know like a shining star I glow, I'm gonna light up this old world

Don't worry Mommy I'ma make you proud


Chorus:

So Mama don't cry, Keep your head high

Dry those tears out of your eyes

Tomorrow's a better day

I'm on my way

Hey Im on my way

Mmmm


Verse:

I remember growing up, We used to sneak out on the block

My Mama come around know seh mi a get whoop

She used to make mi read the holy book

And hope seh, Mi no grow up fi be a crook

But the street got me hooked, Mi run with a dangerous pack

Kick back on the block Smoke weed and drink yah,

Just relax Turn up the 2pac, bare badman tune man ah knock


Dem did a seh Tommy nah guh live long

Dem did a seh Tommy nah guh live long


Mi remember when the cops dem come down,

Mi mother start bawl When she see mi pon di ground


Chorus:

Mama don't cry, Keep your head high

Wipe those tears from out of your eyes

Tomorrows a better day

I'm on my way, mmm

Im on my way


Verse:

It a break my bone, Never break my soul

Yardman always run them out,

I'm a soldier, yo jehovah

Always keep mi head up, Late nights

Mama don't wait up, Street fights

Ah no every man survive, that mi realize

So Father God Mi a beg yuh protect mi life

Father God protect, your son

Them can't gun me down

The police showed mi love

Tek mi dreams to di sky, And watch dem pon di ground


Chorus:

So ama don't cry, Keep your head high

Wipe those tears right out your eyes

Tomorrows a better day

On my way, mmm

Im on my way

Mmmm Mmmm
