Tomorrow's A Better Day

Sitting on di corner
Watching the sun goes down
An mi missing the place I'm from
Roll up a spliff
Hope to mi bottle ah rum
An tip a shot, fi ah friend weh gone

I know, I'm like ah shining star, I glow
I'm gonna light up this whole world
Don' worry, mommy I'ma mek you proud

Suh mama don't cry
Keep yuh head high
Dry those tears out of your eyes
Tomorrow's a better day
I'm on my way
Yeah
I'm on my way
Mhmmm

I remember growing up
Mi used to sneak out on di block
My mama come around, know suh mi ah get boop
She used to mek mi read dem holy book
An hope seh, mi nuh grow up fi be nuh crook
But di street got mi hook
Mi run with a dangerous pack
Kick back pon di block, smoke weed an drink ya
Just relax, bun up di 2 pack
Bare badman tune man ah knock

Dem nigga say "Tommy nah guh live long"
But mi nuh say "Tommy ah live young"
Mi ah remember when di cops dem come down
Mi mother start bawl when she see mi pon di ground

Mama don't cry
Keep yuh head high
Dry those tears out of your eyes
Tomorrow's a better day
I'm on my way
Mhmmm
I'm on my way
Yeah

It ah break my bone
Never break my soul
'Cause ah man always holding my own
I'm a Soldier
Yow Jehovah
Always keep my head up, late night
Mama don't wait up, street fights
Anuh every man survive, that mi realize
So Father God mi ah beg yuh, protect mi life
Father lord, protect yuh son (mhmmm)
Dem cyan gun me down (mhmmm)
Di police show me love
Send mi dreams to the sky, and watch dem pon di ground

Suh mama don't cry
Keep yuh head high
Dry those tears out of your eyes
Tomorrow's a better day
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Mhmmm
