Adara

Lyrics

[Intro] This is not a love song But it's straight from the heart [Verse 1] I wanna talk about the stress, wanna get it off my chest Take my time and re-invest Asking "Is it worth it?" All the sleepless nights The fights and the crisis, the critics biting Mama told me there'd be days like this Put your pen to paper, never use your fist Imagine how I came through my fears rhyming Started my career, blew it up with the Trybesmen A lot of people had their own opinions Took it in my stride and stuck with my onions They think they know who she would be, should bе Numbed by the pressurе see I really wanna be me Inspiration gone, direction gone Packing my bags, I must be done But my heart keeps drawing me back You can do it baby, one more track [Chorus] Hey (hey) Keep your head up, don't you cry (cry) You can make it if you try Sa ra giri omo ekun Adara, adara Hey (hey) Keep your head up, don't you cry (cry) You can make it if you try Sa ra giri omo ekun Adara, adara [Verse 2] Wey the hits? Wey the album? Have to measure up to the standards of the stardom Can't explain three years running and only one single Confessing to the audience, only one video? But you hear me though, emi ni mo wa ise Won de make sure pe, emi ni mo ri ise MC's coming out, gotta top the charts I'm losing it, losing it, pulling all the stops Maybe a party song, no that's regular Do a whole track and spit it in vernacular I'm going crazy right now so I put my pen down Don't be mad if you see me walking around with a frown I'm just tired of this Performing at shows and don't get paid Gotta make friends, so don't dare say it Working for the money though, I can't get it Trying to convince myself, gotta believe it [Chorus] Hey (hey) Keep your head up, don't you cry (cry) You can make it if you try Sa ra giri omo ekun Adara, adara Hey (hey) Keep your head up, don't you cry (cry) You can make it if you try Sa ra giri omo ekun Adara, adara [Verse 3] Yo, yo, see I'm speaking out for a lot of us women When the skills don't bring the ends, then we give in Tryna look back on mistakes that you made Deep down, you possess the tricks of the trade They can't tell us that we can't be the best Put the work in it, let God do the rest It's in our own minds that we stay limited See it through the eyes of a child that's still innocent [Middle 8] Why, tell me why I just can't seem to decide Every time I walk away, something's killing me inside I wanna go, but I can't let go How do I get through this, I don't know [Chorus] Hey (hey) Keep your head up, don't you cry (cry) You can make it if you try Sa ra giri omo ekun Adara, adara Hey (hey) Keep your head up, don't you cry (cry) You can make it if you try Sa ra giri omo ekun Adara, adara [Outro] Storm's in the building ET Quake TY mix Naeto Perez on the track Sasha You know how we do
