Etana

Sitting in the darkness
Knowing she was praying
Waiting for her to fall asleep
Only her tears can melt his poor heart
Knowing she was suffering
Still she begged him keep the peace
He said, how can I stand aside
And watching my hopes and dreams die
What can i give you for all you gave to me

Mamma me affi pull the trigger again
He cried i'm so sorry I lied
I know I said I wouldn't do it again
And I tried but the world's not on our side oh mama

Radiation chemo therapy
Pan phone card and bag juice money
Try all he can the two can't meet
Nine subjects, nuff school fee
All because she toiled the streets
She understand how he feels.
But he says how high is the price to pay
For her to live another day
No keys to all these closed doors I see

Mamma me affi pull the trigger again
He cried i'm so sorry I lied
I know I said I wouldn't do it again
And I tried but the world's not on our side oh mama

Mama if not me who will save you
Where's your sunshine after all that you been through
Are we just a chaper in the history of tragedy
when your prayers not for me

Mamma me affi pull the trigger again
He cried i'm so sorry I lied
I know I said I wouldn't do it again
And I tried but the world's not on our side oh mama

Mamma me affi pull the trigger again
He cried i'm so sorry I lied
I know I said I wouldn't do it again
And I tried but the world's not on our side oh mama
