Eye Waata - Mellow Mood

I could have drowned inna eye waata

When the system jus a try hold me down

Could have drowned inna eye waata

When me feel me couldn’t take it no more

Could have drowned inna eye waata

But me float caw mama make me strong enuh

Could have drowned inna eye waata

There was a time me used fi teary and a bawl

Track pon me, cheek it longer than the China wall

Could not believe the rain, from out me two eyeball

One buck a tear, me woulda make a million

Me cry salt waata and go turn a fisherman

Man coulda sail the tears like a catamaran

Sail out from pain-land and dock inna sorrow-land

But me nuh sink inna the sand

From inna muma belly me used to hear a song

Same song still a play when the nurse wrap me up

It play like a soundtrack when mom and dad hug me up

All when it did quit it start back from the top

From cradle, to pram, to the first step I took

Back to when me did a toddle, drink milk and puke

Every step weh me a take inna me life, me hear the hook

Well, I could have drowned inna eye waata

Could have cried all the while, make a ocean

Could not see no money, could not see no plan

Like Tom Hanks inna him little island

Dem seh hope a the last thing to leave a man

And pressure make we brave, smart and strong

So even if I man a the last one to stand

Me a go clear the pathway with me hand
