Oh, thank you mama for the nine months you carried me through
Work so hard to see us go to school
And when it's cold you wrap me in a towel so warm
All those pain and sufferin'
I'm a big man, now that's how things go
No one knows the pressure you bare, just only you
Can a mother lose her tender care for her child that she's been showin'
Oh my, oh my
Reachin' out to all the mothers in the world
I'll never go away, I'll always be around
Some how your star keeps glowin'
Thank you mama for the nine months you carried me through
Jah was your only help while shelterin' me from the storm
You've prepared me for the future my love you deserve
Thank you mama for the nine months you carried me through
No one knows the pressure you bare, just only you
Keeps doing your thing while others not knowing
All those pain and sufferin'

All those pain and sufferin'

Oh ma, oh ma, I'm so glad I was born
No one knows the pressure you bare, just only you
Now it's my turn to make life, I'm so mature
No one knows the pressure you bare, just only you
Thank you mama for the nine months you carried me through
Give you all my love, oh yeah
