Books and Heartbreak

Chai... e dey pain me sha

How person go dey struggle for two things?

Dey read my books, dey think of you

Every page I turn, your face dey show

My grades dey fall, my heart dey break

Wetin I do sef, to carry this load?

My lecturer dey vex, you dey give me stress

I no fit focus, everything scatter

Na wahala upon wahala

Between assignment and our matter

Books and heartbreak, na double wahala

I dey try my best but e no dey work

Love don wound me, school don tire me

Abi wetin I go do now?

Books and heartbreak, e dey pain me

I wan make am but my heart dey heavy

How person go succeed when belle dey full of sorrow?

Chai

Exam tomorrow but I dey think of yesterday

When we dey laugh, when everything dey okay

Now na only me dey carry burden

School fees, heartache, no ginger for nothing

My people say make I focus on my future

But how I go forget the one wey break my structure?

I dey try sha, I no go give up

Even though this life wan make me kpuff up

Books and heartbreak, na double wahala

I dey try my best but e no dey work

Love don wound me, school don tire me

Abi wetin I go do now?

Books and heartbreak, e dey pain me

I wan make am but my heart dey heavy

How person go succeed when belle dey full of sorrow?

But I go survive oh

Na God go see me through

Books or no books, love or no love

I must to make am
