I Rise Alone

Chai... person wey you think say go dey for you

E go leave you for road oh

But I dey here, I survive

When Papa leave this world, everybody come gather

Dem say "we dey for you, you be our own, we go make am better"

Dem full my eye with tears, dem promise say no wahala

But when the crowd disappear, na me alone dey suffer

Uncles wey talk plenty, dem don dey ghost my line

Friends wey say forever, I no see dem one time

Na myself I dey see for mirror every morning

Na myself I dey ask, "how we go survive this thing?"

Dem promise me the world when Papa go

But dem leave me for cold when reality show

I carry my own weight, I learn to stand tall

No be by their grace, I rise after the fall

I rise alone, I rise alone

God dey my side, I no need your phone

I rise alone, yes I rise alone

Remember how dem swear say "your matter na our matter"?

Now I dey knock their door, dem say "times don scatter"

No vex, no vex, I understand the game

Na when you need them pass, dem go give you different name

But see me now oh, I don learn to hustle hard

Every kobo wey I get, na from my own regard

No family support, no friend to lean upon

But Chukwu dey my side, He never leave me lone

Dem promise me the world when Papa go

But dem leave me for cold when reality show

I carry my own weight, I learn to stand tall

No be by their grace, I rise after the fall

I rise alone, I rise alone

God dey my side, I no need your phone

I rise alone, yes I rise alone

E choke!

From broken promises to my own victories

I rise, I rise, no stopping me

Chai!
