Let Me Breathe

Chai... person pikin

Make una hear me out

Every morning e dey start again oh

Mama dey call, "Wetin you dey wear?"

Papa dey ask, "Where you dey go?"

I be adult but dem no fit see am

My mind dey heavy with wahala

Thoughts dey dance, e no gree rest

I wan fly but the cage too tight

Depression dey knock my door every night

I just wan breathe, make I live my life

I no be small pikin anymore oh

The wahala for my head e don do

Let me be, let me grow, let me know

I just wan breathe

Omo, I just wan breathe

Dem say "You too young to understand"

But anxiety dey choke me for inside

I fit think, I fit choose my own path

But dem dey treat me like I never grow

Overthinking dey kill me softly

I wan prove say I sabi do am

Frustration dey build like NEPA bill

I just need space to find myself

I just wan breathe, make I live my life

I no be small pikin anymore oh

The wahala for my head e don do

Let me be, let me grow, let me know

I just wan breathe

Abeg, I just wan breathe

Someday dem go see

Say I don become who I suppose be

Chai...
