Lyrics

Amarum maka gi Mana, ike uwa a gugomu o Eh eh, mhmmm Mana amarumu maka gi Mana ike uwa a gugomu o Uwa ndoli Uwa ndoli Uwa Afufu Almost broke down writing this verse My life is moving out of reverse Some nights I feel like kicking the horse But somehow im getting through This mad struggle called life My head filled with all types of pressure man So I sit back reflect on how I made it this far Born without a silver spoon Grew up sharing same room With my brother muna Pops was happy go lucky Mum so strict with the cane And the fist Went through highschool Plus uni Graduated flying colors Fuck the B.Sc honors Cus to me just a piss of paper Move to Lagos from my youth Service, started taking rap serious Found a job in the bank 'in V.I Lucky me Got inducted to a different kind of slavery now End enough to get a few shirts Shoes and nice looks Stick, target deposit Driving me sick Used to drag the first day of the week Bosses breathing down my neck Telling me to quit you loser You weren't fit for the job, resign Went home o stressed out So many nights almost cried out I was stuck in a tight spot Couldn't leave cus my older bro Had no job to keep it moving Plus he had a wife and a seed on the way Used to leave the one the window ledge Close to the edge At some point we were six or so in a small crib Never spot no light Landlady giving me hell Life sucks when you look closely Today is rosy Next day turn a rich *** aint it funny Amarum maka gi Mana, ike uwa a gugomu o Eh eh, mhmmm Mana amarumu maka gi Mana ike uwa a gugomu o Uwa ndoli Uwa ndoli Uwa Afufu My niece came feb twenty fifith What a gift plus a sigh of relief We named her chimnanu God listens in igbo dialect My job ran out So I left the country with a visa Plus a hundred pounds Almost close to death Cus I had light clothes on Snowflakes in my socks I had to pick these locks Find a way out my misery Fed from hand to mouth Couldn't even secure a job Couldn't pay the rent Used to sleep in night buses From central to west London Seek the way out so close to defeat I kept praying for a break So I could get my life back on track Now im spitting over Jonas tracks So you can share a bit of my pain Just an extra immigrant Docking trying to eat Look to my left to my right cold pavements Frosty side walks Fingers numb, belly grumble Toes ache from the miles I walk Job fellas kept asking for my National insurance number Which I didn't have So I quit sat in the church Tears streaming down my face What a life I led What a burden I guess its rough from the cradle To the tomb stone never peace Till your six feet underneath This life got me so worn out We through man Amarum maka gi Mana, ike uwa a gugomu o Eh eh, mhmmm Mana amarumu maka gi Mana ike uwa a gugomu o Uwa ndoli Uwa ndoli Uwa Afufu Amarum maka gi Mana, ike uwa a gugomu o Eh eh, mhmmm Mana amarumu maka gi Mana ike uwa a gugomu o Uwa ndoli Uwa ndoli Uwa Afufu
