Mama by Ziggy Marley

Got to let you know!

Mama I don't ever want to see you cry.
If then they knew him,
They'd have passed right by.
Oh Joseph's a man of many women, feel no way,
Oh always remember you are the first of them.

So oh mama,
If they could see where we are coming from;
The other day,
Then they would know just where they belong.
If they could see where you're coming from;
Just the other day,
Then they would know just where they belong.

Let stumbling blocks fall out of your way,
Lord know, Lord knows your reward shall be great.
They were broken off through their lack of faith,
But because of your faith you are still in place.

Woe mama, if they could see where you're coming from;
Just the other day,
Then they would know just where you are coming from.
If they could see where you are coming from;
Just the other day,
Then they would know just where they belong.

(..)

Ah my children, oh mama,
Fret not for me,
I know Jah will be there, eternally.

If they could see where we are coming from;
Just the other day,
Then they would know just where they belong.
If they could see where we are coming from;
Then they would know just where they belong.

Mama I don't ever want to see you cry.
Ain't no lie!
If then they knew him,
They would have passed right by.
So many called but you were chosen.
And so you will always remain outspoken,
Oh mama, if they could see where we are coming from;
Just the other day,
Then they would know just where they belong.

If they could see where we are coming from;
Just the other day,
Then they would know just where they belong.
Then they would know.
Yes they would know.
