Don't worry, don't worry, don't owrry nuh mummy, no mummy

No mummu oh no

Mummy open up di door please nuh
Mi know you a cry inna di bathroom
One day we go have everything, we need
Swear from mi heart soon
But mummy open up di door please nuh
The love inna mi heart fi yuh cyaa move
One day we a go have everything, we need
Swear from mi heart soon

Mi see Benz pon Tv
Mummy why we doh have none
Mummy why we poor and dem rich
When me get big mi a change it
Daddy food look thin pon di pay slip
Just watch matrix
Wish me coulda fly guh a moon pon a space ship
But mankind a guh deh deh wid di same shh

Mummy open up di door please nuh

Rich man live life like kings
While wench on nights work

Mummy wah mi fi save mi fi gaah church
Want a house first
Dem say it is a white man's world
But mi stand up pon my dirt
Badmind block the road fi mi divert
Mi nuh care which colour dem come with
If your heart ugly it ugly

Mummy open up di door please nuh
Mi know you a cry inna di bathroom
One day we go have everything, we need
Swear from mi heart soon
But mummy open up di door please nuh
The love inna mi heart fi yuh cyaa move
One day we a go have everything, we need
Swear from mi heart soon

Don't worry, don't worry, don't owrry nuh mummy, no mummy
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry nuh mummy
No mummu oh no
Don't worry mummy tings soon fine

But mummy open up di door please nuh
The love inna mi heart fi yuh cyaa move




One day we a go have everything, we need
Swear from mi heart soon
