Mama Stories - Shatta Wale

Jah Know

Me know say sometimes, life nuh too fair for some of we

Me know how you feel, a stud inna a day now

But dis nuh go last forever no

Me promise seh me never ah go waste my time

Bad company ah nuh my style

Cud’ah never hear seh me ah dey jail and I do time

Me know the streets dem really hot

Everybody know the system tough

But we still focus and got we eyes pon di prize

Mama, even though we poor today

Just gimme some likkle time mama, me ah go stop this sorrow

And you seh time go tell
