Mammy, yeah, yeah (Konshens)
Proud of me
Got to make you proud of me
Konshens representing

I'm glad that I make my mama proud
Fi know nobody cya look down pon me
She big up herself inna any crowd
Mama never turn har back pon me
Nuff time mi disappoint har mek she cry
Now she can hold har head up high
And everyday I try, I try
To make my mama proud

Mama, mi neva turn a docta and mi neva turn a lawyer
But your baby still a hold it
Cah mi nah beg nobody and mi nah be nah sponger
You neva grow mi so fi know it
Mamma you talk mi to on my own
Neva stop until I bring di food right home
And now I'm glad that you're around to see
Mi takin care of my family

Me haffi mek sure seh mi madda think good inna di street
Fi diss her nobody eva could inna di street cause
When no money neva deh deh
Mamma go own di food and di wear that she could inna di street
And now mi know she feel alright
Cause mi name nah call up inna di war light and mi see har
Platinum smile from a far
When she see di world
A call har baby a star
Mama

Mama, you deh deh when mi neva have nobody else fi call

When di pressure tek mi and mi feel mi a go bawl
Once mi hear your voice mi stand up firmer than a wall
A when nobody nah support mi needa

Any man weh diss dem madda dem fi dead
Mama you rate things taller dan a skyscraper
Yuh amount a love cudn't pay fah
