See a smile pon mi dawta face and mi likkle bwoy, yeah

One ting mi son haffi know, yuh dad a go-getter
Nah go mek nuh funny move, yuh daddy know better
Tell mi dawta seh di world a come wid nuff pressure
But nuh fool, mi baby girl, it a go get better
Nuh put yuh trust inna people, gi dat to God
Haffi watch di friends yuh keep cah dem will do yuh bad
Hear mi son a seh, "Mi waan be like mi dad"
Wi link fi put to dem wid everything wi have

Nuh matta how tings get harder
Nuttin mi yute dem cyaan shatter
A letter fi mi son and mi dawta
Pick up ever, real further
Nuh matta how tings get harder
Nuttin mi yute dem cyaan shatter

Di yute dem live wid dem learn, mek sure di teaching is right
Tell mi son him a star, keep shinin' bright
Mi dawta, yuh can be anything yuh want inna life
But a knowledge a di key, dem cyaan trick you when yuh wise
Ayy, son, mi true, yuh have di sister back
Put God and family first, and don't forget God, ah
World a love yuh when yuh up suh memba dat
Dem nah go love yuh when yuh dung, family love neva stop, yeah

Haffi stay true as a father

Nuttin mi yute dem cyaan shatter
A letter fi mi son and mi dawta
Pick up ever, real further
Nuh matta how tings get harder
Nuttin mi yute dem cyaan shatter

Mi show strength even wid di pain
Gi dem sunshine all when di rain
Mi just cyaan mek dem feel di same
Cyaan mek dem feel di same
When dem fi gi yuh mi last, mi son
Put all talk
Uh-uh, yeah
Mm-mm, mm
Yeah, mm, mm
