If Only Mama Knew

Chai... If only mama knew

The things wey I don do

Mama, I dey sorry for the pain wey I don cause

All the sleepless nights you cry, I no dey pause

I join bad gang, e choke my soul

Now I dey prison cell, my life don loss control

The white powder don take over my brain

I stab person pikin, blood for my hand like rain

Mama, you teach me well but I no hear word

Now the devil dey laugh, my soul dey hurt

I remember when you hold my hand for church

Now your son don turn cultist, e dey pain me burst

If only mama knew the road wey I don take

If only mama knew say her son don break

If only mama knew the blood wey dey my hand

Chai, if only mama knew I need another chance

God abeg, show me mercy, I dey beg on my knees

Mama, I dey sorry, your prayers I go need

If only mama knew... if only mama knew

I see my brothers wey dem kill for street

Their mama dey cry, no rest, no sleep

Now na my turn, I dey face the same fate

Mama, your prayers na the only gate

Chukwu, I know say I don wrong You well well

But Your mercy pass my sin, na so dem tell

I wan come back home, clean my dirty ways

But the cage don lock, I dey count my days

Mama forgive me, your last born don fail

But even for this darkness, make Your light prevail

If only mama knew the road wey I don take

If only mama knew say her son don break

If only mama knew the blood wey dey my hand

Chai, if only mama knew I need another chance

God abeg, show me mercy, I dey beg on my knees

Mama, I dey sorry, your prayers I go need

If only mama knew... if only mama knew

Mama... if you hear this song

Know say your son dey sorry for everything wey e don wrong

God... I dey Your hands

If only mama knew...
