If Only Mama Knew

Mama... forgive me

(Soft hum)

I remember those days when I dey carry mama bag

She go tell me "my son, make you no follow bad gang"

But the street come call me, I no listen to her voice

Now I don dey inside wahala wey I no get choice

The cultism don swallow me, the drugs done mess my brain

Blood for my hand, mama, your pikin don bring you shame

Every night I dey cry, thinking of the life I lost

If only mama knew the price, she for know say e cost

If only mama knew

Say her son don fall so low

If only mama knew

The pain wey dey my soul oh

Mama I dey beg you

Forgive your only son

If only mama knew

Wetin I don become

(Mama... mama...)

I see my mama face for my dreams every single night

She dey cry, she dey call my name, begging say make I do right

But I don already join them, blood don flow like river

Young man dem don die, their mama still dey shiver

Now I dey inside cell, four walls be my friend

Thinking of the innocent life wey my bullet don end

Mama tears go fit wash me? Or my soul don stain forever?

If only I listen to am, we for still dey together

(Chai... God abeg oh)

If only mama knew

Say her son don fall so low

If only mama knew

The pain wey dey my soul oh

Mama I dey beg you

Forgive your only son

If only mama knew

Wetin I don become

(Forgive me mama... please)

Mama... I'm so sorry

If only you knew...

(Soft strings fade)
