Mama no want fi replace you
You raise me up, I di thank you
Throughout the world, I give di stamp you
Mama, I don't fi lie, I appreciate you
When I di small, me and mama know di gel
I know di listen, I di follow boys for streets
Well, seventeen and chase me come out from house
Mama shed tears but she no fi talk mouth
Suspended from school, I di work her like a wise
But deep down, I only paying through my eyes
No food, but mama still di cook pot
Small change, she gather still, di give us hope
We no get plenty, but we manage life
Different papa, same drama, still we di survive
All di stress we a cause, mama no complain
Hold me from afar, even when I di for change

Mama, I don't fi lie, I appreciate you
Papa no show face, he no care, he no send
But mama stand get it back, she no pretend
Even when it hard, mama di smile
Hustle from morning till night, all di while
I fi remember the times where we no get meet
Still, you di manage me to job complete
Mama, you di queen, that's how you sure
Even when you no get, you di always cure
From all di tears, you di wipe my face
You make miracles happen for our place
No diamond necklace, but I go show love
For all di sacrifice, I di thank God above
Mama no want fi replace you
