Lyrics
mama said
words and music- Michael Sean Harris
Nowadays it?s a fight to be free
against all just for your right to be
When I feel that I don?t belong
I think back and she makes me strong
People smile and talk behind but they don?t know your wisdom
Mama Said I must always be me
Mama Said then I?ll always be free
Mama Said learn about where you?re from
Mama Said it will help you hold on
Mama Said
In her life she saw things yet to be
And I know that the lord made her see
When I feel that I don?t belong
I think back and she makes me strong
In giving me your confidence you?ve given me your wisdom
Chorus
Bridge
Mi mama always tell mi listen to yuh elda
She was madda, fada an? protecta
in anyting mi do schooltime, lunch time or suppa
she have mi unda mannas, she bring mi up proper
She mek mi thank the lord before I go to bed I will always remember what my Mama said
Chorus
This is what my mama said
