Omo,

the

road

is

long

but

I

no

go

faint

Augustina,

my

wife,

my

heart

Clifford,

my

son,

my

joy

Shantel,

my

daughter,

my

light

I

dey

do

this

for

una,

I

no

go

stop

I

wake

up

for

morning,

the

body

dey

pain

me

deep

Sometimes

the

sickness,

e

dey

pull

me

from

sleep

I

wan

stay

back,

I

wan

rest

my

head

for

bed

But

visions

of

una,

e

dey

run

for

my

head

From

ten

years

old,

the

struggle

don

dey

my

hand

Carrying

the

burden,

trying

to

build

a

land

A

house

for

my

family,

a

place

wey

we

fit

call

home

Everywhere

I

turn,

I

just

dey

roam

for

the

zone

Augustina,

Clifford,

Shantel,

Esther

too

I

dey

hustle

daily,

just

to

provide

for

you

My

mother,

you

deserve

the

life

that

you

never

had

I

dey

fight

this

war,

e

no

easy

for

your

lad

Pray

for

me,

as

I

go

out

in

the

rain

and

the

sun

I

dey

carry

the

weight

until

the

race

is

won

Sometimes

I

lose

my

cool,

I

get

hangry,

I

snap

Little

things

trigger

me,

I

fall

inside

the

trap

It's

the

depression,

e

dey

whisper

inside

my

ear

But

I

look

at

my

family,

and

I

cast

away

the

fear

I'm

sorry

if

I

shout,

I'm

sorry

if

I

stray

Just

know

I

love

you

more

than

words

can

ever

say

Esther

my

sister,

keep

holding

the

light

for

me

I

promise

to

set

all

our

souls

eventually

free
