Stayed Up
Yeah came outta poverty
Saw my family struggling
Deep in these trenches
Saw the Violence was calling me
They say back in my city
My people proud of me
I know rejection like brother
Its a part of me
We never had no TV
Had no video games
And we never had no shoes
Cause santa never came
Yeah we grew up in the trenches
But we overcame
Got my mama thinking
How these people know my name
Mama I'm famous
Sometimes i'm a rapper
Other days an entertainer
Took on many jobs
But never had me on retainer
I've been through the struggle
But I swear I'm no complainer
Why you wanna see me fall
Why you wanna see me poor
I am not a silly boy
Moving like houdini boy
Man I had my belly starving
That was two nights on row
Yeah I do just what I want
I don't do what I am told
Oh yeah
I stayed up
I stayed up
Put my head down
And I prayed up
I prayed up
I worked harder
Never gave up
Gave up
Had the struggle motivate us
Oh yeah
I stayed up
Put my head down
And I prayed up
I worked harder
Never gave up
Had the struggle motivate us
Owu blow me breeze
Anywhere belle face
My current very low
Na everyday I come dey change phase
Come back from work
Nepa fit don cut the light
Sapa nice one
Na wickedness nai full ur mind
But still I conquered you with Harry Carter
I'm gangsta
Giving up will never be an answer
If I no blow with Rap
I'll become a kidnapper
Time waits for nobody
Me too no go wait for time
Keep your heads up
Life's a moving train
Keep your head down
Or you miss your bus stop
What of Benin
Wey no get train
Na oshiomole drivers
Nai go pass ur bus stop
Oh yeah
I stayed up
I stayed up
Put my head down
And I prayed up
I prayed up
I worked harder
Never gave up gave up
Had the struggle motivate us
Oh yeah
I stayed up
Put my head down
And I prayed up
I worked harder
Never gave up
Gave up
Had the struggle motivate us
Oh yeah
I stayed up
And I put my head down
And I prayed up
I've been working harder
Never gave up
And I had the hustle motivate us
Saw my family struggling
Deep in these trenches
Saw the Violence was calling me
They say back in my city
My people proud of me
I know rejection like brother
Its a part of me
