Give you all my love, oh yeah

Thank you mama for the nine months you carried me through
All those pain and sufferin'

This is my words and my utterin'

Mama, I would never let you down
I'll never go away, I'll always be around
You know why you do it, such love that you found
I'm always gonna let you wear that crown

Through the roughest of times you maintain your calm
Jah was your only help while shelterin' me from the storm
And when it's cold you wrap me in a towel so warm
Oh ma, oh ma, I'm so glad I was born

Thank you mama for the nine months you carried me through
All those pain and sufferin'

You are the one who teaches me all the good from the bad
Even when the system keeps pressurin' my dad
You got high hopes, thanks be unto the most high God

Thank you mama for the nine months you carried me through
All those pain and sufferin'
No one knows the pressure you bare, just only you
Give you all my love, oh yeah

Thank you mama for the nine months you carried me through
All those pain and sufferin'
All my visions, aspirations I owe it all onto you
This is my words and my offering

I'm a big man, now that's how things go
Things you do to survive only Jah, he knows
Fiercely protecting us while watchin' us grow
You been up even when it's on the down low

Work so hard to see us go to school
Blisters on your fingers, so they can't take us for fool
I'm here for a purpose, I'm here to rule
Most high Jah Rastafari will see us through

Thank you mama for the nine months you carried me through
All those pain and sufferin'
No one knows the pressure you bare, just only you, oh oh

Thank you mama for the nine months you carried me through
All those pain and sufferin'
No one knows the pressure you bare, just only you, oh

Now it's my turn to make life, I'm so mature
Now I got my kids and my wife and I'm positively sure
I'm doing fine and still can be so much more
You've prepared me for the future my love you deserve
Keeps doing your thing while others not knowing
But deep inside your heart, mama, you know where it was going
Can a mother lose her tender care for her child that she's been showin'
Some how your star keeps glowin'

Thank you mama for the nine months you carried me through
All those pain an sufferin'
