[Verse 1]
Oh mamma, I've been searchin'
For the right word to say to you for so long
To display to you di strong bond
The emotion all connection we got
For the love that you gave year to year
Before I was born up to the time I were there

Tru the struggle mamma don't despair
When poppa never deh, deh maybe he was scared
But you never feared, always prepared to share
Two young sons now just look it a best

Give thank for all your blood, sweat and tears
Oh mamma, I will always be there
Appreciate the wisdom you shared
Oh mamma, don't worry

Yow, cau the truth is mamma never left us no time
That's the truth, all the truth, spiel the truth, a the truth
All due times arrived she never left us behind
That's the truth, feel the truth, share the truth, the real truth
