Bilingual
A man shoulda go fend fi himself
An' stop stand up like a bottle pon a shelf
An' try enjoy weh other a live fah
Yeah, you know?
Boy!
Mama have her own
Daddy have him own
Anything dem have, you better leave that alone
Grow your owna dog
Get your owna bone
Be your owna man fi live inna your owna home
Man, don't depend 'pon mommy
Fi dead left no will, nor depend 'pon daddy
Fi pay no light, don't depend 'pon nobody
Show the whole of dem you're independent somebody
But, is not a good intention
See the man a bleach pon your grandmother pension
If mama no cook, you go sit down up a Denton
Lay wait the pot fi taste a piece of the Trenton
Couple mulla buy you one, some man a defend one
Everybody things you sit down and a depend 'pon
All a wait pon mama bed fi put your pickney dem 'pon
Over granny will you all go broke 'cause tension
But!
Mama have her own
Daddy have him own
Anything dem have, you better leave that - mi say
Grow your owna dog
Get your owna bone
Be your owna man fi live inna your owna home
You know, most little man Mrs. start a business
Under a pack of cigarette and couple box of matches
An' never pick up no gun an' go think negative
No shot man take no innocent life fi live
But some guys sit down and nah think positive
Every day dem get up, nothing constructive
See you pon the road a go 'bout your business
Draw down, "What happen, father?", dem turn relative
With a bag a sweet mouth and complimentary
"Dat a di wickedest thing, you know, father, trust mi"
Then dem rig marolla, nah say, tory
Then dem check time come, you ready?
"Boy, you waan see, father, Jah know, nothing nah gwan
Fi me, it's like a God send me come, you know, father
God say from morning mi deh yah, only you an' mi, see
Weh coulda deal with a thing, you know, father, trust me"
But!
Mama have her own
Daddy have him own
Anything dem have, you better leave that alone
Grow your owna dog
Get your owna bone
Be your owna man fi live inna -
Suppose one day, mama say, "Look, mi so mention
Time you hit the road, go make your own invention"
Weh you woulda do, it which a nobody mention
If you did a work, you wouldn't inna no tension
From you drop a road, nuh have nobody fi bend 'pon
Big gun pick up an' it you a go depend 'pon
But policeman ago shot you down inna the redemption
Lucky you no dead, deh fi end up a detention
But!
Mama have her own
Daddy have him own
Anything dem have, you better leave that alone
Grow your owna dog
Get your owna bone
Be your owna man
