Verse 1
Inna di heart of Kingston town, where di streets dem cold an' rough,
Maddas stand like pillars, though di times a gettin' tough.
Holdin' back di burdens, shieldin' we from strife,
Inna dem eyes, yuh see di stories, of dem sacrificial life.
Chorus
Life a heavy bus, an' dem a hold it at bay,
While we lost inna we own world, inna di games we play.
Let's recognize di heroes, who fight through every storm,
Inna di heart of Jamaica, it’s our maddas who stay strong.
Verse 2
Violence inna di alleys, an' di cries of di displaced,
Jobs hard fi come by, but dem never lose dem grace.
Dem work from dawn to midnight, just fi make ends meet,
Inna di land of reggae rhythms, dem dance to a harder beat.
Chorus
Life a heavy bus, an' dem a hold it at bay,
While we lost inna we own world, inna di games we play.
Let's recognize di heroes, who fight through every storm,
Inna di heart of Jamaica, it’s our maddas who stay strong.
Bridge
From di hills of Montego Bay to di streets of Trench Town,
Maddas bear di weight, so we never feel di ground.
It’s time we open up we eyes, see di strength dem show,
Appreciate dem battles, di ones we never know.
Verse 3
Education a treasure, but di schools dem falling down,
Still, dem teach we how fi rise, an' wear we hopeful crown.
Through di noise of political promises, an' dreams dat seem to fade,
Dem build a future fi we, inna di shadows dem made.
Chorus
Life a heavy bus, an' dem a hold it at bay,
While we lost inna we own world, inna di games we play.
Let's recognize di heroes, who fight through every storm,
Inna di heart of Jamaica, it’s our maddas who stay strong.
Outro
So here’s to all di maddas, inna dis island paradise,
Let’s give dem all we love, an' let’s open up we eyes.
For inna dem strength an' sacrifice, we find we way along,
Inna di heart of Jamaica, it’s our maddas who stay strong.
