Single Parent

consider, how she make it to the end of the day

working so hard just to get paid

as a single parent life ain´t easy

playing the role of mom and dad

woman I thank you, thank oh mama mama

I never know no father yet you provide my dinner

and I love you oh mama

when you cry I cry too

why do you look so dull and forsaken

I know he is gone and your heart is broken

but we are still together

mama never leave us alone at home no

won´t turn my back, and you can count on that

if I should go I shall be coming right back

that motherly love gently tucking me in the sack

bedtime kisses and hugs I feel as if I´m taking back

how sweet you are let me number the ways

I asked the father guide you for the rest of your days

anyhowit gone bad already cant stop him now

we´ve got to survive some way some how

nuh fret and mawga down better must come

from the lord ordain thy will must be done

nuh expose yuh linen dirt ever deh pon di ground

nuh make di world know bout yu

yu character pipe will bung

go on Buju the Banton with words of wisdom

woman hold your head up not down
