Life nuh too fair for some of we
Me know how you feel a stud inna a day now
But dis nuh go last forever no
I want to make you proud and wipe away unnu tears

So we still ah search and find
Me promise seh me never ah go waste my time
Bad company ah nuh my style
Cud'ah never hear seh me ah dey jail and I do time
Me know the streets dem really hot
Everybody know the system tough
But we still focus and got we eyes pon di prize
Mama even though we poor today

Just gimme some little time mama me ah go stop this sorrow
And you seh time go tell
You seh me l go rise above dem
Everything soon change like heaven but nuh dis hell

After the storm comes a calm watch me now
Hey mama soon you ah go stop cry you ah go laugh
Be strong mama be strong
Mama me never go leave you alone leave you alone

After the storm comes a calm watch me now
