Lyrics
Hmmm hmmmm yeah
I wanna tell you one or two things About myself
Things that iv been through
It hasn't been so easy though
But iv been so strong
Alive
You gat me
You were disappointed dad I know You were disappointed
I spent my school fees on music and That got you very disappointed
But I couldn't just ignore cos my Way of life couldn't make you proud Me
I gat my hustle to deal with my Lifestyle couldn't make you proud of Me
The only option I had was to focus On music so I had to drop out
From school and music no that Couldn't work out
For a poor boy like me no dime in My pocket
Then I had no choice Mama complained thoroughly about It
But still she had no choice
Other than to support me show me Love and comfort me
I kept riding riding riding nothing Did obstruct me
I used to be a labourer back then in Some building constructions
In school I was a flyer distributor Manh that wasnt cool
I had to be a waiter a regular waiter In parties
Wash plates serve food serve drinks Serve small chops in parties
I never said bye to the family I didn't Leave home to survive
Iv always been on the street of Agege Where the hardest gat to survive
Cos I do music only ain't no multi Tasking
Gat me living a good life isnt that Good to be asking
Thank god for today I thank for Where I am today
I could boast fully say that music Make me who I am today
Agege is where i come from still I Could make it this far
Nobody see what I saw they never Thought
I could make it this far Prices were paid music made me Suffer
It made me suffer music made me Suffer
Then my homies told me Neff u Gotta leave the street
I told em ain't going nowhere until i Make it on the street
While some of demma thought that It was stubbornness that would kill Me
I stood strong and brave on the street Of Agege
Even death couldn't kill me Everything that IV been through
I Would have wished to say it
But If i have to say it this beat wont Contain it
So many risk have been taken what More do I need to take
The records I need to break will be The awards I need to take
Cos i know music is the weapon the Only weapon that I gat
To fight for myself fight for my People without disregard
I'm fully into it now I'm tryna get Used to the fame
That's how the story Goes this is the ladder to the fame
