Trigger

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

My mom he had fi pull the trigger again
He cried
I'm so sorry I lied
I know I said I wouldn't do it again
I tried, but the world's not on our side

Radiation chemotherapy
Pon phone card and pack juice money
Try all he can to cure me
Nine subject nuff school fee
All because she tie the streets
She understands how he feels
But he says how high's the price to pay
For her to live another day
No keys to all these closed doors I see

My mom he had fi pull the trigger again
He cried
I'm so sorry I lied
I know I said I wouldn't do it again
I tried, but the world's not on our side

Mama if not me, who will save you
Where's your sunshine after all that you've been through
Are we just a chapter in the history of tragedies
When your prayers got for me

My mom he had fi pull the trigger again
He cried
I'm so sorry I lied
I know I said I wouldn't do it again
I tried, but the world's not on our side
