Uwa(Life)

Oh, my days time is running out
It's like I'm in a circle, a merry-go-round
I don't know if I'll make it out
But even if life knocks me down, I'm not staying down
There's no turning back, there's no slowing down
I put my faith in You, I put my trust in You
(You Abba Father)

Uwa nka sef, no be say the wahala plenty
Na just say e no dey finish, you understand that kind thing? (Yes)
The way we live, na man you be if you choose not to envy (mm)
If it ain't looking bright, create your own sunshine, my gee
Going through difficult times, got me wishing that I could go back in time
Just to be sure, there's not a thing I could do different this time
Feeling too young to be miserable, Lord knows I be lying
When someone ask me how I'm doing, and I tell 'em, "I'm fine"

A couple things I'd like to get up off my chest (yes)
But see, I'm trying to cut down on things I regret (yes)
I want it all, nothing short of hundred percent
Keep chasing 'til I get it's my intent, never relent
Wonder why I gotta go through the tunnel, to see the light (ah-ah)
But since we're already here, let's do it and do it right (ah-ah)
Right into the storm like I missed the calm, born to survive
Devil wey want make I fail for no let them born me alive, word

On my journey, and in the course of trying to figure life out
I've made a few mistakes, maybe a few too many
And I try to turn to God in prayer and His word points out to one thing
"Your sins are forgiven," but why I still feel this way
It's something I'm still trying to either figure out
Or just completely forget

Life is a game, there's just some ways you gotta play it
On days like this I'm scared, I can't play it like they play it
Scared I might not survive where they thrive, and scared to say it
Scared to face that harsh reality, so let's delay it (tell 'em)
Some L's you take would have your pride really shook
You no go wan show your face around, it's not a pretty look (sure)
Money can't buy happiness, it was never goods
Happiness comes from what happens to you
And make things happen to you, money could

I remember the last time I cried, I was truly scared
Momma called, there was an accident, she just broke her leg (yeah)
Okada jam her where she sit down inside keke napep
Couldn't fight the tears while in a bus, I just bowed my head
Watching her going through pains I couldn't feel, was painful
I'd be the one who went under the knife if wishes came true
God has been truly faithful, shout-out to those who came through
I'm grateful, uwa the complicated, yet so simple

In all my ordeals with anxiety and panic attacks
I know for one thing for sure, it was not God punishing me
My mind played a trick on me, making me feel like
God is trying to discipline me, and that vision said
"Why would you think I would punish you this way?"
