[Intro: AkinG Kalld Pedro] Ọmọ kilode [Verse 1] I remember when I was just a little king Mi and my family packed up her things After the terrorist hit D.C Move to amove to a country that almost killed me Year to be exact this was 20-03 Around the time that my parents ditch me And my siblings in VGC. Lagos, Nigeria, the green light green Raised by my granny and my favorite auntie And uncle Ola straight in poverty Right by spring, I had an epilepsy But the doctors claimed that was pneumonia On this day I thought my life was over Like rest in peace without the closure Had mе develop a xenophobia This country is killing my idеntity [Hook 1: AkinG Kalld Pedro & Cheakaity] Bye ay yai ya yai ya yai ya yai yai yai yai yai yai yai (turn it up!) Bye ay yai ya yai ya yai ya yai yai yai yai yai yai yai (turn it up!) [Verse 2] I remember when I returned in ninth grade My childhood home was being appraised And that shit left us with no place to stay I still hate my dad for the pain that he gave Stayed with Tayo for about two months And got kicked out because my dad had dumped Us on him then went island hopping Like a soldier that had war to attend While back in school I did my best to blend Was too black for whites and too foreign for blacks Got into fights and they had to suspend My parents made shoes that I couldn't fit in Every day they made me feel like a step-kin I didn't go to college 'cause I couldn't get in Maybe I'm stupid, maybe I am daft This punk-ass African heritage is trash [Hook 1] [Bridge 1: Khanom & AkinG Kalld Pedro] Ọmọ awọn aṣikiri Turn it up, Turn it up, Turn it up Yai yai yai yai yai yai Yai yai yai yai yai yai [Hook 2: AkinG Kalld Pedro & Kyaira] Take me to a place where I'm living in Nirvana Swimming in a pool full of dreams A paradise I never have to leave Take me to a place where I'm living in Nirvana Swimming in a pool full of dreams A paradise I never have to leave [Verse 3: AkinG Kalld Pedro] I got suspended twice for dumb niggas thinking that I can't fight Was too black for whites and too foreign for blacks My mother told me "things will be alright" But I can't cope I just hate school Got no friends and I'm too uncool Come back home to my bullshit scenes By my parents always arguing They're both from the green white green Indigenous traditions had me left so confused Abnormal aboriginal lessons they produced Had me thinking I chose a route of a fool I buried my nose in my journal where my sixteens were listening To each and every thought in my head Maybe one day I can get up out this bed And make my dreams come true so this can [Hook] [Bridge 2: Kyaira] Like heaven mhm Like heaven mhm [Outro] I promised you I will tell a story But no one gives a fuck about me No one gives a fuck about me No one gives a fuck about me
