Lyrics Wrong Room - Shaggy

Wrong Room

Yeah
More time, yuh haffi wake up enuh
I was never born with a golden spoon
(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I never really like going to school
(No-oh-oh-oh)
But you should know momma never raise no fool
(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
She told me
If you’re the smartest person in that room
(Words my momma say)
You’re in the wrong room
Land a di sunshine
There were some fun times
I remember when it all
Turned into gun times
When forces combine
Defend di front line
I was with my mother
She was my bloodline
(Even though we felt)
And even though we felt like the target
Protect each other, every journey we walk it
(She way my shoulder)
She was my shoulder, I was her soldier
We kinda drifted, as I got older
If I’m her go to, then who’s my go-to?
Without my go-to, who do I go to?
I’m in the wrong room
I was never born with a golden spoon
(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I never really like going to school
(No-oh-oh-oh)
But you should know momma never raise no fool
(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
She told me
If you’re the smartest person in that room
(Words my momma say)
You’re in the wrong room
From I was christened
It was my mission
My star it glistened
Wid pure ambition
(From all the bruises, I learned to be strong)
I tried to talk less
And learned to listen
I figred out how to
Play my position
Some people have sight
But I got vision
At times I move like
A politician
I try my best to
Form coalitions
So I can outdo
The competition
If I’m her go to, then who’s my go-to?
Without my go-to, who do I go to?
I’m in the wrong room
I was never born with a golden spoon
(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I never really like going to school
(No-oh-oh-oh)
But you should know momma never raise no fool
(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
She told me
If you’re the smartest person in that room
(Words my momma say)
You’re in the wrong room
I’m a student of the street
Always let faith guide my feet
Love is sometimes bittersweet
Loyalty is more concrete 'cause
Be careful who yuh put yuh faith in
(Yeah-hey-hey)
Good to know who you’re embracing
Sometimes yuh got to do some replacing
(Yeah hey hey)
Pay attention to the vibe when they’re hating
I was never born with a golden spoon
(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I never really like going to school
(No-oh-oh-oh)
But you should know momma never raise no fool
(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
She told me
If you’re the smartest person in that room
(Words my momma say)
You’re in the wrong room
(Oh-oh-oh, I, I)
I was never born with a golden spoon
Yeah, mi neva born wid nuh golden spoon
(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Undastand dat
(Yeah)
And I never really like going to school
An even though mi neva like guh school
(No-oh-oh-oh)
Yuh know wah?
But you should know momma never raise no fool
(Oh, nah, no no)
Pay attention
(No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
She told me
(Hey, yeah-hey-yeah)
If you’re the smartest person in that room
(Words my momma say)
You’re in the wrong room
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
