Who Spoil Our Pikin?
A song made by oluwasegunbraima7
Intro
Our mama born us with hope...
But wetin we dey see for street now?
Make we ask question before we point finger...
Verse 1
We say na dressing spoil our girls
But who sell am cheap for market?
Who put am for TV say “na this be beauty”?
Small pikin of 12 dey wear wetin mama fear
We say na smoke spoil our daughters
But who light the first stick?
Uncle for corner say “try am, you go feel free”
Now she dey cough, but e don late to flee
Na prostitution we dey shout now
Say “girls no get shame again”
But when school fees pass papa salary
When “aunty” say “bring your body, I go pay your way”
Tell me... who first sell dignity?
Pre-Chorus
No be only pikin waka lost
Village people, we all miss road
When phone teach faster than parent
When hunger knock, wetin you go do?
Chorus
Who spoil our pikin? Na we all
From the man wey dey look and no talk
To the system wey no give job after school
To the music wey say “body na for sale”
Who spoil our pikin? Na we all
No be only cloth, no be only smoke
Na broken home, na broken hope
Na when money loud pass moral
Na then we start to lose our own
Verse 2
Boy dey sag, girl dey show skin
But ask am: “who dey house to train am?”
Papa dey hustle Lagos to PH
Mama dey market from 5am till thief go sleep
Phone na the new parent now
Instagram na the new teacher
And wetin e dey teach? “Expose am to blow”
“Smoke am to belong”, “sell am to glow”
We blame the girls wey dey do “runs”
But we no blame the men wey dey pay
50k for night, but e no fit pay 5k for her school
We call her “ashawo”, but we no call him “customer”
Two hands dey clap to make that sound
Bridge
If we fix home — Pikin go get root
If we fix school — Pikin go get sense
If we fix country — Pikin go get hope
But if we just dey blame — Pikin go lost
Verse 3
But e no late, my sister
That smoke no be your master
That cloth no be your value
That money wey dey come quick... e dey go quicker
My brother, sag your trouser, but lift your mind
Your value no dey for chain, e dey for brain
We fit change am. I see girls wey drop pipe, pick book
I see boys wey leave street, learn skill, build cook
Final Chorus
Who go save our pikin? Na we all
I go talk, you go listen, we go act
Cover your sister, teach your brother
Praise her when she dress decent, no just shout when she naked
Who go save our pikin? Na we all
No be only prayer, make we add work
Give her skill, give him job, give them love
Then we go see say our pikin no spoil — na we neglect am
Outro
We be tomorrow... make una no forget us
We be tomorrow... hold our hand
We be tomorrow... we still fit shine
