Lumba Pain

Chale, when the pain come

Family dey far away, abi

Wo maame, wo papa

Where dem go na?

James Adjaben mmmmmmmm enough easy,

Lumba pain scatter my body frame

Doctors say rest, but no time for shame

I call my people, phone ring and ring

Nobody answer, chale, wetin dem dey do?

My sista, my brother don forget

My aunty wey claim she love me set

But when the sickness come, dem no show face

Only the wall dey comfort me for this place

Family neglect you when the pain come strong

Dey make you understand you walk this road alone

Lumba pain teach me lesson say

Can't depend on blood, abi, that's the way

When you sick and struggling, dem disappear

Only God remain, keep me here

Lumba pain, now I see clear clear

Family sweet when life dey go well well

My brother supposed to come care for me

Instead him dey party, living fancy free

My cousins wey I feed with my own hand

Now dem no fit send even small, na that na the brand

I understand now, chale, the family bond weak

When you vulnerable, that's when dem all peak

They show their true colors like paint on the wall

When lumba come, you learn who not friend at all

I spent my money helping every soul

Now when I suffer, dem too cool to roll

But this pain, eiii, it open my eye

Showin me clearly who to trust when I cry

Family neglect you when the pain come strong

Dey make you understand you walk this road alone

Lumba pain teach me lesson say

Can't depend on blood, abi, that's the way

When you sick and struggling, dem disappear

Only God remain, keep me here

Lumba pain, now I see clear clear

Family sweet when life dey go well well

Maybe one day I heal from this ache

Maybe one day my strength come back

But the lesson wey lumba teach me stay

Family not always there to save

I learn to love myself first, abi

I learn to stand when nobody see

The pain no kill me, made me strong

Now I know exactly where I belong

But herh, some people still show love small

My old friend check, my neighbor call

They bring me food even when dem no rich

That's the kind of people I remember switch

So lumba pain, though you hurt my soul

You show me genuine from the false gold

I grateful for the lesson and the test

Now I know who real and who just best

I'm building my circle different now, chale

Keeping only the ones who no fail

Blood relation mean nothing if dem ghost

My chosen family, them I trust the most

Family neglect you when the pain come strong

Dey make you understand you walk this road alone

Lumba pain teach me lesson say

Can't depend on blood, abi, that's the way

When you sick and struggling, dem disappear

Only God remain, keep me here

Lumba pain, now I see clear clear

Family sweet when life dey go well well

Lumba pain, now I understand

Family bond no strong like sand

Chale, I survive this one, I go survive all

God dey with me, I no fall

Lumba pain, thank you for the truth

Now I know exactly where I move

Yeah, yeah, eiii

Lumba pain done teach me well

I'm standing strong, I'm gonna tell
