Street Child Rising
A song made by Testimony
You know say
Na street raise me oh
Wahala!
From ghetto I come, no silver spoon
Hustle for breakfast, hustle till moon
Danfo conductor shout, mama dey cry
No light for night, but we still dey try
Neighbors dem fight, gunshot for air
But I swear to God, I go comot there
No time for pity, na grind we sabi
Every street corner, dem wan label me
But I get vision wey pass their eye
Omo to struggle, e go touch sky
Street child, street child
We no dey fear the rain oh
We go shine, we go shine
Tomorrow na another day oh
Mo ti gbe! From gutter to glory
This na our story, e choke!
Street child rising, omo!
Yesterday garri, today still garri
But my mind strong pass military
School fees wahala, torn uniform
But book wey I read go make me transform
Area boys dem say make I join gang
I say no thanks, I get different plan
Mama sacrifice, papa don go
But street wisdom wey dem teach me dey flow
From Ajegunle to Mushin to PH
Every struggle na blessing sef
Street child, street child
We no dey fear the rain oh
We go shine, we go shine
Tomorrow na another day oh
Mo ti gbe! From gutter to glory
This na our story, e choke!
Street child rising, omo!
Na street raise us
But street no go hold us down
We dey rise!
Hah!
