If Only Mama Knew

Chai... Mama... If you only knew

I remember when you hold my hand

You say make I follow better plan

But the streets dey call me every night

Now my hands dem stain with blood, no lie

The things wey I don do for this life

The people wey I hurt with this knife

Mama, I dey cry for inside

But e don too late to make am right

If only Mama knew

All the tears wey dey fall for my room

If only Mama knew

Say your pikin don turn to something new

If only Mama knew

The blood on my hands, the shame on my soul

If only Mama knew

Mama forgive me, I beg make you know

Dem initiate me for that cult

I carry gun, I no fit shout

Every night I dey see their face

The ones wey fall by my own waste

Mama you dey pray for me tire

But I don enter the fire

Now I wan comot but e don lock

I dey inside this cage, I dey knock

If only Mama knew

All the tears wey dey fall for my room

If only Mama knew

Say your pikin don turn to something new

If only Mama knew

The blood on my hands, the shame on my soul

If only Mama knew

Mama forgive me, I beg make you know

Mama... I sorry... If you only knew

Chai... Mo gbe...
