Mama Say I No Good

Chai... mama

Wetin I do you?

Mama dey tell me say I no good for nothing

Every morning, na the same thing

She dey look me with eye wey dey pain me

Like say I be disappointment, e dey sting me

I hustle day and night, I dey try my best

But her words dem heavy pass stone for my chest

She no dey see the fire wey dey burn inside

She no dey see say I get dreams wey I no fit hide

But mama, one day you go see

Say your pikin na somebody

I go rise, I go shine, I go prove am

I no be good for nothing, I go show am

Mama o, mama o

Your words no fit kill my soul

I go make you proud someday, I swear

This good for nothing go scatter everywhere

I remember when I small, you dey call me useless

Compare me with neighbor pikin, say I be the worst

But mama, I don grow strong from your every blow

Your words na fuel wey dey make my fire glow

I know say deep down, maybe you dey fear

Say the world go wound me, but mama I dey here

I go prove say your pikin get mind like lion

Watch me turn your tears to smile, no be lie I'm lying

But mama, one day you go see

Say your pikin na somebody

I go rise, I go shine, I go prove am

I no be good for nothing, I go show am

Mama o, mama o

Your words no fit kill my soul

I go make you proud someday, I swear

This good for nothing go scatter everywhere

Mama... I still love you sha

E go make sense
