about

Mama Is A Rock is a song I wrote for my mother.
It is an anthem to all the mothers across the globe.
Originally named Rock Wombman in honor of all the sacred caves from which we came.

lyrics

Mama is rock wombman
Ma is a Rock

Mama is a rock wombman
Work til her ankles ache
To feed every baby
That came from her sacred cave

Working a double
Working a double
For nothing just to buy some bread
That and peanut butter is gonna keep them babies fed

She says
If they need something
I have to provide it
I have to provide it yes
If they need something
You know I have to provide it

This is how I provide it
Mama is a rock wombman

Mama is a rock wombman
She'll be working until she can't
Money can be clean or dirty
Just as long the money's good to spend

She gives her all
And her all all the time
Mama will sacrifice
Never giving up
No the wombman is far too tough

She says
If they need something
I have to provide it
I have to provide it yes
If they need something
You know I have to provide it

This is how I provide it
Mama is rock wombman

Mama rubbing her feet
Oh how the days are long
But she will not stop
Even if the work is hard
Cause mama is a rock

Mama is a rock
Mama keeps rolling
Mama is a rolling rock

Mama Africa

Mama is a rock
Mama keeps rolling
Mama is a rolling rock

Mama Ayiti (Haiti)

Mama is a rock
Mama keeps rolling
Mama is a rolling rock
