Sadness

Chai... e dey pain me oh

My heart dey heavy like stone

Every morning I dey wake

Same wahala dey my chest

E be like say happiness don comot

Leave me for this darkness

I dey try make I smile

But the tears just dey fall

Wetin I go do now?

This sadness don carry me go

Sadness, e don hold me tight

Sadness, from morning till night

I no fit shake am off

E dey follow me everywhere I go

Sadness, na my best friend now

Sadness, e no wan leave me anyhow

Chai, wetin man go do?

This feeling never wan comot oh

People dey ask me "how far?"

I go tell dem say I dey kampe

But inside my soul dey cry

No be small thing oh

The weight for my chest heavy

Like say dem put block for there

I wan be happy again

But this sadness no gree let me be

Sadness, e don hold me tight

Sadness, from morning till night

I no fit shake am off

E dey follow me everywhere I go

Sadness, na my best friend now

Sadness, e no wan leave me anyhow

Chai, wetin man go do?

This feeling never wan comot oh

Maybe one day e go better

Maybe tomorrow go sweet pass

But today, I dey feel am well well

This sadness wey don catch me

Hmm... e go dey alright sha

One day, one day
