Sean Paul
Rockabye (Demo)
[Intro: Sean Paul]
Call it love and devotion
Call it a mom's adoration, foundation
A special bond of creation, hah
For all the single mom's out there
Going through frustration
Clean Bandit, Sean-da-Paul, Ina
Sing, make them hear

[Verse 1: Ina Wroldsen]
She works at nights, by the water
She's gone astray, so far away
From her father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him

[Pre-Chorus 1: Ina Wroldsen & Sean Paul]
She tells him, "Oh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love."
"I'm gonna give you all of my love."
"Nobody matters like you."
(Stay up there)
She tells him, "Your life ain't gon' be nothing like my life." (Straight!)
"You're gonna grow and have a good life."
"I'm gonna do what I've got to do."
(Stay up there, stay up there!)
[Chorus: Ina Wroldsen]
So, rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry

[Post-Chorus 1: Ina Wroldsen & Sean Paul]
Rockabye
Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye

[Verse 2: Sean Paul & Ina Wroldsen, Both]
Single mum, how're you doing out there?
Facing the hard life, without no fear (Yeah!)
Just so you know that you really care
'Cause any obstacle come, you're well prepared (Oh, no!)
And no, mama, you never shed tear
'Cause you have to shed things year after year (Oh na)
And you give the you love beyond compare
You find his school fee and the bus fare

[Bridge: Ina Wroldsen]
And now she got a six-year-old
Tryna keep him warm
Tryna keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe
[Pre-Chorus 2: Ina Wroldsen]
When she says, "Oh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love."
"I'm gonna give you all of my love."
"Nobody matters like you."

[Chorus: Ina Wroldsen & Sean Paul]
So, rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
(Badda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)

[Post-Chorus 2: Sean Paul & (Ina Wroldsen)]
(Rockabye)
Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
(Rockabye)
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels surround you, just dry your eye

[Bridge: Ina Wroldsen]
And now she got a six-year-old
Tryna keep him warm
Tryna keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe when she says
[Pre-Chorus 1: Ina Wroldsen & Sean Paul]
She tells him, "Oh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love."
"I'm gonna give you all of my love."
"Nobody matters like you."
She tells him, "Your life ain't gon' be nothing like my life."
"You're gonna grow and have a good life."
(Talkin' 'bout a mama's love!)
"I'm gonna do what I got to do.", yeah

[Chorus: Ina Wroldsen & Sean Paul]
So, rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
(Badda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)
Rockabye

[Post-Chorus 3: Sean Paul & Ina Wroldsen]
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Said rockabye
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Sean Paul, Ina
(Rockabye)
Rockabye, don't bother cry
(I'm gonna rock you)
Rockabye, don't bother cry
(Somebody's go you, rockabye)
