Had I Know

Had I know oh

Had I know

Chai

Before before I dey chase clout

I dey follow person wey no get sense about

My papa talk say make I shine my eye

But I no gree hear, I say e dey lie

I dey roll with fake friends wey dey hail me

Meanwhile dem dey plan how dem go fail me

Opportunity knock, I no answer door

Now I dey look back, my heart dey pain me for sure

Had I know, I for start earlier

Had I know, I for pray harder

Had I know, I for move smarter

But today I'm wiser

Had I know, I for use my head

Had I know, I for no dey waste bread

Had I know, I for listen wetin dem talk

But e don do, I don learn for road

Life na teacher wey dey charge fees for pain

E go wound you tire before you gain

I don fall, I don fail, I don cry for corner

But I stand up again, I rebuild, I no surrender

Make I yarn the youths wey dey come up

Listen to person wey don chop soup

No be every shining thing na gold

Sometimes the truth na bitter pill wey you must hold

Had I know, I for start earlier

Had I know, I for pray harder

Had I know, I for move smarter

But today I'm wiser

Had I know, I for use my head

Had I know, I for no dey waste bread

Had I know, I for listen wetin dem talk

But e don do, I don learn for road

Now I dey turn my pain to power

Every scar na reminder say I don conquer

E no easy but I dey grow

From the ashes I dey rise, everybody go know

Omo see ginger!

Had I know

Had I know oh

Now I know

Now I know

And because I know

I go grow

I go grow oh

Mo ti mo

I don sabi
