(Whispered) Yeah... for the one who carries it all. Ositah
Omo, I dey look you sometimes, I wonder if you be human at all.
Yeah, let's go.
I sit and watch you move, it's like a heavy magic trick
You carrying the weight of the world while the clock keeps on tick
Everybody lean on you, you never let the ceiling crack
You take the heavy burden, put the pressure on your back
And when they look for hope, they always find it in your eyes
But tell me, OSI, who you talk to when the spirit cries?
I swear it feels unreal, like you just floating through the fray
I wonder if you ever feel the need to walk away.
Oh, you carry everybody like you got no weight to bear
With a heart so open, like you breathing different air
The world ain't give it back, but you never keep a score
You just generous and kind, then you go and give some more
I'm watching from the shadows, tryna learn how you do it
But the path you walk is deep, and I'm just tryna get through it.
Check it, yeah, the man is a titan, no question, he vibrant
But inside the silence, he keeping the balance, he keeping the violence
Of the world at bay, yeah he doing it his way
Never seen him regret, never seen him delay
Even when the people turn back, he don't attack
He just steady on the track, never folding, never slack
It’s a selfless mission, a divine transition
I’m trying to follow the vision but I’m lacking the ignition
See, he gave his last bread, even when his own belly empty
That’s a level of grace that the modern day don't tempt me
I'm just a student, watching the way he move it.
Oh, you carry everybody like you got no weight to bear
With a heart so open, like you breathing different air
The world ain't give it back, but you never keep a score
You just generous and kind, then you go and give some more
I'm watching from the shadows, tryna learn how you do it
But the path you walk is deep, and I'm just tryna get through it.
I wish I had the flare to put my feet in your sandals
But I ain't that fit, I'm just lighting up the candles
I'm looking at your steps, praying for the grace to follow
So I don't feel the emptiness, so I don't feel so hollow
If I could be half the man, I’d be doing okay
Yeah, I’m just walking in your shadow every single day.
Yeah... keep walking.
I’m right behind you, Dad.
Grace is enough, yeah.
No dulling, just following the steps. Ositah Jonathan I hail
