Survive Alone

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
