Il testo della Mama doh cry

Speech: (mama, i love yuh mama, i just want to tell you unconditional love to you all the time.)
1.
As a boy, mama you did warn mih still my life went down the drain;
Having fun, terrorising people with mih gun causin endless pain;
Since mih daddy drift away i choose to roam and go astray and join up with a gang;
Ma you stayed at home and pray, so ill see a brighter day, not in prison sentenced to hang.

Chorus
Mama dont cry for me (x 4)
I know how much you care, your love for me sincere im just a tragic story;
I am a victim now, so dont you feel no how, jah shed his blood for me;
Mama dont cry for me (x 4)
2.

Knock about with tom dick and harry, theres no doubt-them boys is real pest;

As a boy i wanted mih own way; as a boy i was too harden;
I would cuss and refuse to obey my elders i didnt listen;
But grad-u-ally i notice mih own family avoided me, they watched me and pass me strait;
But mama you never gave up yuh cried and cried and prayed non-stop--just to save this reprobate.

(chorus)
Mama dont cry for me (x 4)
I know how much you care, your love for me sincere im just a tragic story;
I am a victim now, so dont you feel no how, jah shed his blood for me;
Mama dont cry for me (x 4)

Nb. yuh means you; mih means my; ah means i; jah means god; ma means mama; cuss means curse.
