A song made by BLESSED
(Soft piano)
Mama... if you only knew
The pain wey dey my heart
I dey remember small pikin wey you raise
With prayers for my head every single day
You tell me say make I follow God, stay for the right way
But mama, I no listen, I don follow bad company
The street don change me, the boys don poison me
Cultism, drugs, and crime, na wetin I dey see
Every night you dey pray say your son go make am
But mama, your son don lost, I dey inside darkness kam
If only mama knew
The life wey I dey live for street
If only mama knew
Say your son don lose him way complete
Mama, I dey cry for inside
But I no fit show you my pain
If only mama knew
I for beg you make you save me again
I see the way you dey smile when you see me
You think say your boy still dey pure and holy
But mama, the blood wey dey for my hand
The things wey I don do, you no go understand
I wan come back home, I wan feel your love
I wan hear your prayer reach heaven above
But the cage wey I enter, e don lock me tight
Mama, I dey lost for this terrible night
If only mama knew
The life wey I dey live for street
If only mama knew
Say your son don lose him way complete
Mama, I dey cry for inside
But I no fit show you my pain
If only mama knew
I for beg you make you save me again
I remember your voice when you sing for me
Your hands when you touch me with purity
But I throw everything for gutter, mama
Now I dey beg God say make e forgive me, sha
If only mama knew
The life wey we dey live for street
If only mama knew
Say her children don lose their way complete
Mama, we dey cry for inside
But we no fit show you our pain
If only mama knew
We for beg you make you save us again
(Crying vocals, soft piano fade)
Mama... forgive me
If only you knew...
If only... you knew
