Intro
Ayoba, nobody dey see your pain
Na you and God, abi?
Verse 1
Wake up early morning, no light from NEPA
Generator don finish fuel since yesterday
Rent money calling, but account balance dey hide
Mummy asking how I take take care of myself
Daddy left the burden, say life na school
Sisters married off, I standing here solo
No man come rescue, no trust fund waiting
Just these two hands and the God above
World dey spin but my own dey pause
Everybody smiling on Instagram, lying
Waiting table by night, freelancing by day
Head paining me with the burden of living
Chorus
I dey survive, survive alone
Nobody see the tears wey fall at night
I dey survive, survive alone
This world indifferent to my fight
I dey survive, survive alone
Carrying weight that should break my back
But I rise, I rise, I rise
I no go fall back
Verse 2
Friends asking why I no fit make party
Can't afford the bottle, can't afford the dress
People talking say make I find rich man
Like salvation dey come through another person bed
I go pay my bills with my own sweat
I go feed myself with my own hand
No wahala, the struggle dey shape me
Every scar dey write my story strong
Chioma no be anybody's property
I am the architect of my own escape
Chorus
I dey survive, survive alone
Nobody see the tears wey fall at night
I dey survive, survive alone
This world indifferent to my fight
I dey survive, survive alone
Carrying weight that should break my back
But I rise, I rise, I rise
I no go fall back
Outro
Survive alone, survive alone
But I'm not broken, e choke!
I'm not broken, I'm rising
Naija woman, na we stronger
