Ooooh Ooooh Pallaso Deep Roots Hullo maama hullo maama Tears are dripping as I'm writing this letter This body could be worse but could be better Maama I am writing to you from a jail cell I remember when I was a little boy When my problems were all about toys I was to be a doctor is what I promised you To make money and take care of you Guilty is now all upon me Because I'm not the man you wanted me to be I'm here in a prison doing my bid Understand some choices were not up to me Don't you cry no more I'm a grown man and that's just how life goes Just pray for me maama Be there for me As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death Pray for me And let your prayers keep me strong (Keep me strong) Pray for me Mama that's all I need (All I need) Pray for me (mama) And let your prayers keep me strong (Mama let them keep me strong) Pray for me (ooooh mama) Mama that's all I need (Mama that's all I need) I'm so strong this is like a metal of iron Maama your son is an over comer Sometimes I feel like it's useless living Then I close my eyes and I see you smiling I will never hurt you anymore Maama now I know I'm your fresh blood and bone I know how it feels when your loved ones are gone So I'mma do everything right when I'm home I'm also taking bid classes In the pre-test I came out in first place Pray for me mama in glasses I don't wanna come to you in a casket Don't you cry no more I'm a grown man and that's just how life goes Just pray for me maama Be there for me As I walk through the valley of shadow of death Pray for me And let your prayers keep me strong (Keep me strong) Pray for me Mama that's all I need (All I need) Pray for me (mama) And let your prayers keep me strong (Mama let them keep me strong) Pray for me (ooooh mama) Mama that's all I need (Mama that's all I need) Dear God Never ever let me fail Let my sleeps look back with a story to tell I've been through hell and been through cells My life a coffin but please don't hammer the nails Don't make this fame thing get in my head I wanna stay forever humble till my casket is laid I did fail time but I never changed this With me forever in my African ways I know the life from the back of the fence When all you did is strike but never given a chance How can I dream when life got the clock in my face Before my dreams come true of catching a case Form me a place with no discrimination for race Where we can live without struggle and pain Can I escape pain? Not because I'm not brave But I've been so strong for so long To suffer again Pray for me And let your prayers keep me strong (Keep me strong) Pray for me Mama that's all I need (All I need) Pray for me (mama) And let your prayers keep me strong (Mama let them keep me strong) Pray for me (ooooh mama) Mama that's all I need (Mama that's all I need) Ooooh Ooooh
