Nobody Tell Me

Chai... nobody tell me oh

Nobody tell me say e go be like this

They show me the smiles, the baby pictures

But nobody tell me about the sleepless nights oh

How my heart go dey break and heal the same time

How I go lose myself to find somebody new

Nobody warn me say love fit heavy like this

When small pikin dey cry, e dey pierce my soul

They talk about the joy, the blessings plenty

But the wahala in between, nobody mention am

Nobody prepared me for this journey oh

Nobody tell me motherhood go test me so

I dey learn as I dey go, I dey grow with every step

But nobody, nobody, nobody tell me

Some days I strong pass wonder woman

Other days I dey cry for bathroom, hide my face

The guilt when I need just five minutes to myself

The fear say I no fit do am right

But when my baby look me, smile for my face

I know say this na the greatest thing I ever do

Even though nobody tell me how e go hard

Nobody tell me say my heart fit expand like this

Nobody prepared me for this journey oh

Nobody tell me motherhood go test me so

I dey learn as I dey go, I dey grow with every step

But nobody, nobody, nobody tell me

But I no go give up, I no fit give up

This na my story, this na my truth

Nobody tell me, but I dey find my way
