Rockabye Slowed - Remix

Call it love and devotion
Call it a mom's adoration, foundation
A special bond of creation, ha
For all the single moms out there goin' through frustration
Clean Bandit, Sean da Paul
Anne-Marie, sing, make them hear

She works the nights by the water
She's gone astray, so far away from her father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him (daily struggle)

She tells him, "Ooh, love
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you" (stay up there, stay up there)
She tells him, "Your life
Ain't gon' be nothin' like my life (straight)
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do" (stay up there, stay up there)

So rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
Rockabye

(No, oh) rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye
(Rockabye, yeah, yeah) rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye

Single mom, how you doin' out there?
Facing the hard life without no fear (yeah)
Just so you know that you really care (uh)
'Cause any obstacle come, you're well-prepared (oh no)
And no, mama, you never shed tear
'Cause you haffi shed things year after year (na-na-na-na)
And you give me you love beyond compare (yeah)
You find his school fee and the bus fare (yeah)
Hmm, already pops disappear
Inna rum bar, can't find him nowhere
Steadily your work flow heavily, you know
So you nah stop, no time, no time for ya, dear

Now she got a six-year-old
Tryin' to keep him warm
Tryin' to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe when she says

"Ooh, love
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"

So rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry (bada-bang-bang-bang, alright then)
Rockabye

(No, oh) rockabye, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
(Rockabye, yeah, yeah) rockabye, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels surround you, just dry your eye

Now she got a six-year-old
Tryin' to keep him warm
Tryin' to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe when she says

She tells him, "Ooh, love
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you" (stay up there, stay up there)
She tells him, "Your life
Ain't gon' be nothin' like my life (straight)
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I got to do" (yeah)

So, rockabye, baby, rockabye (rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye)
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry (rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye)
Somebody's got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye (rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye)
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry (bada-bang-bang-bang, alright then)

Rockabye, don't bother cry (no, oh)
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo (rockabye)
Rockabye, don't bother cry (yeah, yeah)
Angels surround you, just dry your eye (rockabye)
Rockabye, don't bother cry (no, oh)
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo (rockabye)
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels surround you, just dry your eye
