From Suffer to Shine

Omo, na long journey oh

From ghetto to greatness

E choke!

I remember when we dey hustle for street

No food for table, no shoe for my feet

Mama dey cry, Papa dey struggle

But we no give up, we dey carry our bundle

I tell myself say one day go better

I go wear fine shoe, I go chop better

Now I don make am, I don see the light

But the story never end, abeg make I tell am right

From suffer I come, now I dey shine

But Mariam leave me, e dey pain my mind

Lonely nights, depression dey my side

But I find my peace, I dey hustle with pride

Day and night, I dey grind for my pay

Tomorrow go better pass yesterday

Mariam enter my life like blessing

Her smile sweet pass akara wey dey hot

We laugh together, we plan together

I think say na she be my forever

But love scatter, wahala come knocking

She pack her thing, she comot, she dey walking

Now I dey here, lonely like abandoned house

Depression wan kill me, e wan take me out

From suffer I come, now I dey shine

But Mariam leave me, e dey pain my mind

Lonely nights, depression dey my side

But I find my peace, I dey grind with pride

Day and night, I dey hustle for my pay

Tomorrow go better pass yesterday

But I no go fall, I no go break

I remember where I from, the sacrifice wey I make

I find peace for inside, I dey pray

I dey hustle hard, I go collect my pay

No time to waste, no time to dey regret

My story never finish, I never done yet

From ghetto to greatness

Mariam or no Mariam

I go make am, walahi!

E choke!
