SURVIVOR’S GUILT

Sometimes I feel, survivor's guilt
Me hu me mates abrabɔ a my vibe is killed
I wonder how, I’m surviving still
growing up is a trap, chale life is real

See my boys in the hood
Demma life no good
But at least dem dey
They alive so cool
ɔmo sɔre anopa a
nothing dem dey do
nothing dem get win so nothing dem go lose
and my homies say
Life is hard
So when I complain
About this path
They say I'm insane
At least I have a dream
At least I'm on the scene
At least I went to school

Sometimes I feel, survivor's guilt
Me hu me mates abrabɔ a my vibe is killed
I wonder how, I’m surviving still
growing up is a trap, chale life is real

Some your paddy dey force but e no dey pay
His mums is sick, his girl is late,
Still in vim be high, still e tell you say
E go be, disbelief as you spy ein face
Cos you know at night, he dey drown in tears
Hard worker, still he behind his peers
Chale wo nim paa, e dey hide in fears,
E dey die inside, e dey count in years

Sometimes I feel, survivor's guilt

growing up is a trap, chale life is real


The trauma of being the only one who made it
and still not making enough to help everybody out
to put food in everybody mouth
and when you say it sef everybody doubts
they look at you like you the wickedest bro
cos you know that they've been through and so
even though you worked hard for things and your wealth
you feel bad for doing good for yourself.
