Mother's Prayer

by Clatta Bumboo

/

about

So many have contributed to the brain drain...then quickly learn that promises were to comfort the fool..."Mother's Prayer" is an intra-band favorite! Graced with the distinct drumming of Aston Barrett Jr., "Mother's Prayer" speaks to the plight of the woke imigrant soul, who in retrospect asks his "Mama" for prayers.Going back to the life maker, carrier and giver, begging for guidance.

lyrics

Eh
Oh I wish that you were around
Yeah eh
So I'm begging you to pray for me
Eh

Mama It's you pain that brought me to life
It's your struggles I reference
All the times when I need fi whole a vibe
More times than not
The belly doesn't get what it needs
Be assured I've learned to sacrifice today
So I may feast another day
Promises were to comfort fools
They told I that the streets were paved in gold
Lies
Every step mi take mi foot bottom meet concreate
Mama can't find a place to plant no seeds
Oh

Mama pray for me
Pray for me oh
Mama pray for me
Oh your son needs your guidance oh
Mama pray for me
Mama pray for me
Mama pray for me
Oh I need your prayers

Yeah eh eh eh eh
Hey eh
Oh la la la la la la la la la
Eh

Traversed the nucks and crannies of the concrete jungle
Encountered various creatures of
All different colors all difference faces all different race
Some are so mean neva wudda offer likkle food eh
Some are some mean the ones a top are awfully rude
These are stormy times but I'm holding on
It's your courage I look to mom
When I need to be brave and strong

Oh Mama pray for me
Mama pray for me
Mama pray for me
Oh your child need your blessings
Oh mama pray for me
Mama pray for me
Mama pray for me
Oh I need your prayers

When you kneel beside your bed at nights
Oh mama pray for me
And as you give thanks for the raising sun
Oh mama pray for me
And when you pray to break your fast
Oh Mama pray for me
And when you bless the dinner table please
Oh remember me

Always pray for me
Always pray for me
Always pray for me
Always pray for me
Hey eh eh eh
