Sitting in the darkness

Knowing she was praying

Waiting for her to fall asleep

Only her tears could melt his poor heart

Knowing she was suffering

Still she begged him keep the peace

He said how can I stand aside

Watching my hopes and dreams die

What can I give you for all you gave to me

My mom he had fi pull the trigger again

He cried

I'm so sorry I lied

I know I said I wouldn't do it again

I tried, but the world's not on our side

Radiation chemotherapy

Pon phone card and pack juice money

Try all he can to cure me

Nine subject nuff school fee

All because she tie the streets

She understands how he feels

But he says how high's the price to pay

For her to live another day

No keys to all these closed doors I see

My mom he had fi pull the trigger again

He cried

I'm so sorry I lied

I know I said I wouldn't do it again

I tried, but the world's not on our side

Mama if not me, who will save you

Where's your sunshine after all that you've been through

Are we just a chapter in the history of tragedies

When your prayers got for me

My mom he had fi pull the trigger again

He cried

I'm so sorry I lied

I know I said I wouldn't do it again

I tried, but the world's not on our side
