Man Must Survive

Omo... e no easy oh

Make I talk true

Every morning I dey wake with heavy heart

Expectations plenty, I no fit fall apart

Society dey talk say "man no dey cry"

But inside my chest, tears dey gather for eye

Provider, protector, strong like concrete

But nobody dey ask if I don eat

Pressure from my family, pressure from my babe

Everybody need something, I no fit misbehave

Man must survive, man must provide

Even when e hard, we dey hold am inside

Man must be strong, man must stand tall

But who go catch me when I wan fall?

Man must survive oh, man must provide

Baba God, abeg dey my side

They say make I no show weakness, make I man up

But this life heavy, sometimes I wan give up

My broda dey struggle, my mama dey pray

I fit talk my pain? Abi make I dey okay?

Mental health? Nah woman business dem say

Real man supposed carry weight every day

But we dey tire too, we dey break down sef

We just dey hide am, dey form like we dey okay

Man must survive, man must provide

Even when e hard, we dey hold am inside

Man must be strong, man must stand tall

But who go catch me when I wan fall?

Man must survive oh, man must provide

Baba God, abeg dey my side

To every man wey dey hustle for this life

You no dey alone, we go survive

Abi oh!
