Who's gonna stay at home
When the warriors are fighting
Who's gonna stay at home
When the children are crying
Mama say, mama say
Won't you get me a piece of bread
Mama say, mama say
We've got to go to church to fast and pray
Mama say, mama say
The children wanna go outside and play
Mama say mama say
Why won't you go to work today
Who's gonna stay at home
When the warriors are fighting
Who's gonna stay at home
When the children are crying
Who's gonna stay at home
When we ain't got no food to eat
So tell me who's gonna stay at home
When Babylon a tell man fi come off the street
Mama say mama say
Won't you get me a piece of bread
Mama say mama say
Won't go to the church to fast and pray
Mama say mama say
The children wanna go outside and play
Mama say mama say
Come get me somewhere to rest my head
Who's gonna stay at home
When the warriors are fighting
Who's gonna stay at home
When the children are crying
Who's gonna stay at home
When we ain't got no food to eat
So tell me who's gonna stay at home
When Babylon a tell man fi come off the street
Take me to a place where
I can go up into the mountain top
Plant some banana dashain cocoa
Get me some hililu
Iphas and orcas
I wanna grow something from the earth
Let me talk to father nature
Let me talk and sing with the birds
And the bees and the little tiny squirrels
Running in the tree
Who's gonna stay at home
When the warriors are fighting
Who's gonna stay at home
When we ain't got no food to eat (What)
Who's gonna stay at home
When grandma is dying
So tell me who's gonna stay at home
When my father is crying
I wanna dance with the trees
I wanna hear the birds singing back at me
I wanna play echo with the mountain
Make some ackee soup
Anything I want to do
It's my life
Love the almighty
That's what I wanna do
(Love the almighty)
All the rest of my days
(Love the almighty)
Tell me again
Love the almighty
Love the almighty
Big up the almighty
Love the Al
In the mountain
Like Moses and Joshua and Elijah
