Dua

Dad called me a fool, he said;
"You haven't gained any wisdom yet
Your life is all over the place
Keep going and you'll end up working as a cashier
You take my money,
You drink my alcohol,
And you claim you're my child?
I ask you and you walk away
You saw my issues, you didn’t help, girl, you just left to go have fun"
I didn’t call you to come insult me, girl, you better get out of here
Why haven't you met Kojo Poku?
Because his father is always listening to him
Everyday he drives a different car
Gifts come and he gets some (but dad is into fraud)
Oh please, everything I say you argue about
A real man hustles
A lazy person sleeps, you just keep going
You don't get it, hmm, silly girl
I was your age when I went to Agege
I left home and stayed with you
Now that you're older you look down on me?
Everyday you collect money to buy books
But we don’t see your progress in school
You get yours and you buy shoes
I'd rather give you money to buy booze
Sometimes the way you might
See the way my poppy dey advice
Breaking me down how ago rise

Dad called me a fool
He said Kojo you’ll be great
Kojo you’ll be great
Kojo you’ll be great
Mom said about me
She said Kojo you won't suffer
Kojo you won't suffer
Kojo you won't suffer

Mom said about me, she said:
"My son, humility is what you need
The tree of prosperity is strong, but we climb it with humility
You are jumping up and down
Be careful, when you grow up you'll fall down
If you talk too much, you’ll get into trouble
Sometimes silence is golden, but other times it's a confession
Hasty feet and shame are what brings one down
So respect your household
Having too many friends is not always a good thing
Ask the crab, that’s what he lives by
Listen to advice, that is what is best
Good times will come, sooner or later
My child, I have learnt from your dad
That giving out money freely is not good
Your wife will disrespect you, that’s what happens
If he wants the marriage to work, then he will work at it
So if you get a good wife, cherish her
And if she spends your money recklessly, how will you scold her?"
You who always sleep in
You never wake up early
Laziness is bad, it brings poverty so be careful
The way you scold
Your kid can make him grow
See the way my mummy dey talk
Holding me down how ago fall

Dad called me a fool
He said Kojo you’ll be great
Kojo you’ll be great
Kojo you’ll be great
Mom said about me
She said Kojo you won't suffer
Kojo you won't suffer
Kojo you won't suffer

Some advice is difficult to take (dad called me a fool)
Some advice is really true (he said Kojo you’ll be great)
Some advice is bitter to take (mom said about me)
Some advice is really powerful (she said Kojo you won't suffer)

Dad called me a fool
He said Kojo you’ll be great
Kojo you’ll be great
Kojo you’ll be great
Mom said about me
She said Kojo you won't suffer
Kojo you won't suffer
Kojo you won't suffer
