Sitting on the corner
Watching the sun go down
Reminiscing the place I'm from
Roll up a spliff, open mi bokkle a rum
An take a shot fi a friend who died
I know- like a shining star I glow, I'm gonna light up this old world
Don't worry, Mommy I'ma make you proud
So Mama don't cry, keep your head high
Dry those tears out of your eyes
Tomorrow's a better day
I'm on my way
Hey, I'm on my way
Mmmm
I remember growing up, we used to sneak out on the block
My Mama come around know seh mi a get whoop
She used to make mi read the holy book
And hope seh, mi no grow up fi be no crook
But the street got me hooked, mi run with a dangerous pack
Kick back on the block, smoke weed and drink yah
Just relax, turn up the 2pac, bare badman tune man ah knock
Dem did a seh Tommy nah guh live long
Dem did a seh Tommy nah guh live long
Mi remember when the cops dem come down
Mi mother start bawl when she see mi pon di ground
Mama don't cry, keep your head high
Wipe those tears from out of your eyes
Tomorrow's a better day
I'm on my way
Mmm-mm, I'm on my way
Yeah-yeah
It a break my bone, never break my soul
Yardman always run them out
I'm a soldier, yo Jehovah
Always keep mi head up, late nights
Mama don't wait up, street fights
Ah no every man survive, that mi realize
So Father God mi a beg yuh protect mi life
Father God protect your son
Them can't gun me down
The police showed mi love
Tek mi dreams to di sky, and watch dem pon di ground
So Mama don't cry, keep your head high
Wipe those tears right out your eyes
Tomorrow's a better day
I'm on my way (on my way)
I'm on my way
Mmmm-mmm
