Only One

Hmm... see me oh

The only pikin

Grew up alone, no broda, no sista

Carry all the load, mama and papa pressure

They say I be the hope, the future, the answer

So I carry everything, no time to wander

Small pikin with big wahala for shoulder

Dey smile outside but inside e dey bitter

I think say marriage go be my rescue

Run comot from the house, start life brand new

Only one, only child

Thought I go find peace for my own smile

But the past wey I run from

E don follow me come, chai

Only one, only child

The trauma never die, e just dey hide small

Now I dey my own house

But the ghost dem still dey around

Said "I do" thinking freedom don come

But the weight from before, e never done

Same fear, same pressure, different room

I wan carry person burden like I carry my own from womb

They no teach me say healing na journey

I just dey run, but wahala dey find me

Now I see am clear, the truth dey pain me

You fit escape house, but not the memory

Only one, only child

Thought I go find peace for my own smile

But the past wey I run from

E don follow me come, omo

Only one, only child

The trauma never die, e just dey hide small

Now I dey my own house

But the ghost dem still dey around

But I dey learn oh

I dey heal, slowly

Only one... but I go be free
