Single Parent

(This song is dedicated to all the single parents in the world)
All on your own
Know your own be alone, yeah
You got to take care of your own

Consider, how she make it to the end of the day
Working so hard just to get paid
As a single parent life ain't easy
Playing the role of mom and dad (momma, momma)

Consider, how she make it to the end of the day
Working so hard just to get paid
As a single parent life isn't easy
Playing the role of mom and dad (momma, momma)

Woman I thank you, thank oh mama mama
I never know no father yet you provide my dinner
And I love you, oh mama
When you cry I cry too
Why do you look so dull and forsaken?
I know he is gone and your heart is broken
But we are still together
Mama never leave us alone at home, no

I wonder, how she make it to the end of the day
Working so hard just to get paid
As a single parent your life ain't easy
Playing the role of mom and dad (momma, momma)

I wonder, how she make it to the end of the day
Working so hard just to get paid
As a single parent your life ain't easy
Playing the role of mom and dad (mom, mom)

Won't turn my back, and you can count on that
If I should go I shall be coming right back
That motherly love gently tucking me in the sack
Bedtime kisses and hugs I feel as if I'm taking back
How sweet you are let me number your ways
I asked the father guide you for the rest of your days

I wonder, how she make it to the end of the day
Working so hard just to get paid
As a single parent life ain't easy
Playing the role of mom and dad (momma, momma)

Hey consider, how she make it to the end of the day
Working so hard just to get paid
As a single parent life ain't easy
Playing the role of mom and dad (momma, momma)

Anyhow it gone bad already can't stop him now
We've got to survive some way some how
Nuh fret and mawga down better must come
From the lord ordain thy will must be done
Nuh expose yuh linen dirt ever deh pon di ground
Nuh make di world know bout yu, yu character pipe will bung
Go on Buju the Banton with words of wisdom
Woman hold your head up don't hold down, yeah

I wonder, how she make it to the end of the day
Working so hard just to get paid
As a single parent life ain't easy
Playing the role of mom and dad (momma, momma)

Hey consider, how she make it to the end of the day
Working so hard just to get paid
As a single parent life can't be easy
Playing the role of mom and dad (momma, momma)

Once more I thank you, thank oh mama mama
I never know no father yet you provide my dinner
And I love you, oh mama
When you cry I cry too
Why do you look so dull and forsaken?
I know he is gone and your heart is broken
But we are still together
Mama never leave us alone at home no

Consider, how she make it to the end of the day
Working so hard just to get paid
As a single parent life ain't easy
Playing the role of mom and dad (momma, momma)

Hey, as a single parent life ain't easy
Playing the role of mom and dad (momma, momma)
Hey, as a single parent
