(álbum: I-Ternal Fire - 2010)

Mama dis son won't let you down
I promise you Mom, I won't make you frown
Mama wish come, on solid ground
Knowledge and Wisdom make us profound

[Chorus:]
Mama you strong,
Fi stand up and fight inna Armagideon
Mama you strong,
When dem a try corrupt di world wit' politics and religion
Mama you strong,
'Cause I've seen Mom been through great tribulation
Mama you strong,
Well now mi haffi fulfill her expectation
So mi go say yo

Build her a house 'pon the hill
Inna di door mi put the jammer
Inna di window mi put the sill, yeah!
Make sure di place grill
Cause Mommy haffi hol' a Jah Jah fi keep her tranquil
Mi respect Mommy inna di days she had di skill
When Daddy couldn't find money fi facilitate di bill
She never fulfill from no handout, she a chill
She say where there's a way there must be a will
She nuh come fi breakdown, she only come fi build
I tol' her that should follow more than a quatrillion zill
And I fear, nervous upon di will
Mi wish her everliving life, she never get kill

[Chorus]

Remember the days of the cradle?
Mommy ah you cut di string from the navel
And yuh always willing and able
Fi make sure there's good food 'pon the table
Well Daddy is a man who's sometimes unstable
Anyway yuh know him is a ol' rebel
Always a talk 'bout yuh miserable
Always a talk 'bout yuh terrible
But one ting him couldn't a call yuh nuh devil
'Cause it a you take it to another level
Make sure di yout' dem live comfortable
Make life possible, you never tremble

[Chorus]
