[Intro:]
Yeah
Genius again
Eh eh
I don't, I don't know (I neva know)
Wah mek she stay, wah mek she stay, wah mek she stay so
Oh no wooahh
[Verse 1:]
Some gal nah have nuh plan fi di future
Dem plan fi tek a new man everyday
Warn to all di dutty you possess inside
Some gal nah have no sense of pride
How dem so serious
Dem tek man fi fun and laughter
Just to remind dem how dem a used to
When every woman researchin for a hero
She a look a next man to look unto
She neva find no man fi fulfill har need
That's not the way to be
You shoulda have one man
How you end up wid all 2 and three
That's why you have fifteen
A you end up a rid
[Chorus:]
When your madda tell you long ago
Never to walk inna nuh sketel shadow
Weh she fail you should succeed
You nuh fi follow nuh gal a lead yuh fi lead
Hook pon drugs now school you leave
Carnival inna house wid your boyfriend Steve
Pull mi heart from through mislead
Fifteen year old I can't believe
[Verse 2:]
Your mamma nuh trust yuh
Yuh pappa nuh trust yuh
So how you come around a expect man fi trust yuh
Sketel pon sidewalk have gal lock a cuss yuh
A yuh buss di man dem unno di man dem buss yuh
Every man yuh lock up yuh stalkie and ouch yuh
Ghetto divan yuh look? and handcuff yuh
Every likkle youth pon di lane dem touch yuh
Catch up pon yuhself before di big one catch yuh gal
[Chorus:]
When your madda tell you long ago
Never to walk inna nuh sketel shadow
Weh she fail you should succeed
You nuh fi follow nuh gal a lead yuh fi lead
Hook pon drugs now school you leave
Carnival inna house wid your boyfriend Steve
Pull mi heart from through mislead
Fifteen year old I can't believe
[Verse 3:]
You're not the losest
My gal dweet yuh chest
Mek a bwoy know you have the greatest, thing that yuh possess
Mek dem know that you nah the weakest
Link from east to west
My girl pull off that treasurest
And just come kiss mi chest
And just wine pon mi
[Chorus:]
When your madda tell you long ago
Never to walk inna nuh sketel shadow
Weh she fail you should succeed
You nuh fi follow nuh gal a lead yuh fi lead
Hook pon drugs now school you leave
Carnival inna house wid your boyfriend Steve
Pull mi heart from through mislead
Fifteen year old I can't believe
[Outro:]
Look into yuhself

Woman be woman and be strong
Cannot do what a man do, a still be a woman ovastand
A woman might seh mi wrong but cho
Woman is woman
Is the mother of, life yuh know
Is the mother of, di whole generation
You foundation of life
Without woman, there'll be no man
Love unno, anyway
