Lyrics Prodigal Son - Shatta Wale

(Prodigal son, prodigal son)

This life no be easy, so I'm serious
Keep telling myself I be genius
If you wrong me, I tell you, period
Only God know me junior
Me I tire for this nonsense
As a society go fit change your conscience
If you no take heart, them go make you wan dead
Because of you see them holding conference (conference)

I say who no say you go make am for here (for here)
Them leave me so Shatta for there
Pains I go through, I no forget
When them knock my door go tell them what beck?
If I no know God like them kill my spirit
Protocol no be me them giving

Them show me swine wey no fit my religion
My faith in God no be your Christianity
I say if I no know God like them kill my spirit
Protocol no be me them giving
Them show me swine wey no fit my religion
My faith in God no be your Christianity

Rejected stone, win am
The same street boy, win am
The boy wey no dey respect, win am
The prodigal son, win am
Rejected stone, win am
The same street boy, win am
(The boy wey no dey respect), win am
The prodigal son, win am

I say go tell my mother say, I no dey hate am no way
And go tell my father say, I no dey hate am too
But the life they put me though be yawa
I remember telling them say e get mala
But dey no see what God make I discover
Them just throw me for street make I hala

But me I say God is here whatever dey for my front, me I prepare
My heart clean o, me I be sincere
Me and life go war, yeah I've been there
Me I say God is here whatever dey for my front, me I prepare
My heart clean o, me I be sincere
Me and life go war yeah I've been there (tell the boy say)

Rejected stone, win am
The same street boy, win am
The boy wey no dey respect, win am
The prodigal son, win am
Rejected stone, win am
The same street boy, win am
(The boy wey no dey respect), win am
The prodigal son, win am

Rejected stone, win am
The same street boy, win am
The boy wey no dey respect, win am
The prodigal son, win am
Rejected stone, win am
The same street boy, win am
(The boy wey no dey respect), win am
(The prodigal son), win am

Yeah, I dedicate this song to all my kids
I just want to tell you life is not all about money
Life is about love, so whether daddy buys you toys or not
Just know I speak to your moms
And anytime I speak to your mom, that is money and that is love
I might not be the perfect dad

I might not be the best dad
But one thing you have to know
I'll never leave you out there for the wolves
That's why I'm working hard
Yeah, yeah working hard, just working hard
Love you all
