From i was lickle yout my granny used to say
Used to say
yeah my granny used to say
From i was a lickle yout my granny used to say
work hard, tears won't make your problems go away
From i was lickle yout my granny used to say
Used to say
yeah my granny used to say
From i was a lickle yout my granny used to say
Follow the straight & narrow and don't bother go astray
verse
From I was a lickle yout my granny always sayso,
Blackbwoi strive just to rise up out the ghetto,
To reach the class & colour bar then pass the threshold,
Gwan with it while your young, it gets harder when u get old,
From I was a lickle yout my granny used to tell me,
Always think for myself so there's nutn you can sell me,
Now I don't follow fashion I don't bidness how it trendy,
Give tanx for everyday I wake up an I'm healthy!!!
From I was a lickle yout my granny always said,
She worked everyday hard just to earn her daily bread,
Work for your own never borrower or beg,
Raised me up with morals and I follow what she said,
From I was a lickle yout' my granny used to teach,
Follow your own mind don't follow friend dem in the streets,
Sleep the same place u change your sheets,
make a bed u lie in it, what you've sewn is what you'll reap
chorus
From i was lickle yout my granny used to say
Used to say
yeah my granny used to say
From i was a lickle yout my granny used to say
Better brush ya teet picknee and dont forget to pray
From i was lickle yout my granny used to say
Used to say
yeah my granny used to say
From i was a lickle yout my granny used to say
Don't you worry darlin' all will be ok
