Rockabye
Lyrics
Call it love and devotion
Call it the mom's adoration (foundation)
A special bond of creation, hah
For all the single moms out there
Going through frustration
Clean Bandit, Sean-Da-Paul, Anne-Marie, sing, make them hear
She works the night by the water
She's gone astray, so far away from her father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him (daily struggle)
She tells him, "Ooh, love
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love"
"I'm gonna give you all of my love"
"Nobody matters like you" (stay up there, stay up there)
She tells him, "Your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life" (straight)
"You're gonna grow and have a good life"
"I'm gonna do what I got to do" (stay up there, stay up there)
So, rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
Rockabye, no, ohh (rockabye-rocka-rocka-rockabye)
Rockabye, yeah, yeah (rockabye-rocka-rocka-rockabye)
Single mom, how're you doing out there?
Facing the hard life without no fear (yeah)
Just see and know that you really care
'Cause any obstacle come, you well prepared (oh, no)
And, no, mamma you never shed tear
'Cause you haffi set things year after year (na, na, na, na)
And you give the youth love beyond compare (yeah)
You find the school fee and the bus fare (yeah)
Hmm, all when di pops disappear
Inna rum bar, cyaan' find him nowhere
Steadily you workflow heavily, you know
So you nah stop no time, no time for ya dear
Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks her in the eyes
He don't know he is safe when she says
"Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love"
"I'm gonna give you all of my love"
"Nobody matters like you"
So, rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry (bidda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)
Ah, rockabye, no, ohh (rockabye-rocka-rocka-rockabye)
Rockabye, yeah, yeah (rockabye-rocka-rocka-rockabye)
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels surround you, just dry your eye
Now she gotta a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks her in the eyes
He don't know he is safe when she says
She tells him, "Ooh, love
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love"
"I'm gonna give you all of my love"
"Nobody matters like you" (stay up there, stay up there)
She tells him, "Your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life" (straight)
