Lyrics
Hey, I see sad, I see joy. I see many kiddies crying to own their own toys
We are on the same race, you never try to keep a speed like the Rolls Royce
You saw Kofi driving a Benz, so you wanna be on a new trend
But you never ask Kofi how he got stuck in that Benz
I know you feel sad when you see your mommy crying
I know you feel bad when you see your family starving
I was 16 when I left home. All my life was like fanta, I had to try cook
As my friends say, we're enjoying life, na I dey in my sad mood
Mommy is gonna prepare what's at home, not what you prefer
The only time I smile was that day my mother bought me a new bag from trenches
I've been using rice sack as my school bag
17 years, I was feeling like never before
Whenever you see me in tears, it's either enema or school dropout
Boys wearing hot sneakers, I'll be feeling free in my home slippers
I keep making late to school cause I got no one to help my mom with the house chores
I had a younger sister but she wasn't all that mature
18 years and I tried to move out. I told my mom they will never see pain
I told myself they will never rest till my mom say, hey, we are free from the struggles
We are for one of the battles. The dead's are gone if you're alive, just focus
Forget about this homies who have been paying for these hookups
Death is around so try and get a future like the hip-hop
I saw your girl with another guy, don't cry, just a tip-off
That's ladies, if you got money, they keep climbing like the mbepo
Trying to find my way on this journey nigga is too hard
Scoring one goal and conceding too many goals like the Stuttgart
Picking many troubles on the road just like the school bus
Scale of preference is my food cause I don't have too much
They say show me again, I started laughing
I don't have food for the day so why should I pick another star
