CHILD OF THE WORLD

Lyrics

Child of the World

Falz

Go
Ahn
Apple of her mother's eye
She be trophy daughter
Mummy raised her
Daddy never dropped a dollar
Daddy ran away, didn't wanna have a child
Mummy wasn't ready
Still remember how she cried
But time flies, all that one is in the past life
Shola ti mature, gbogbo body ti bi large size(SHOLA, the name of the lady, is now an adult)
She just collect law degree for Unilag(university of Lagos)
First class in the bag
Make her mummy to dey brag
She went to be an intern for her Uncle
Just a little hustle before she go to law school
My daughter, the Lord will be your muscle
Omo Jesu(Jesus' child) , Mummy know she love the gospel
But Uncle Peter Agbaya
Alayi ni ti ju(shameless adult)
One late night he became wild in the sitting room
Uncle please stop…Shhh be silent
Uncle didn't stop till he broke the hymen

Am I a fool?
Shey I don go astray?(Have I gone astray)
Am I a victim of my circumstance?
Omo luwa bi ti bo so wa ye(a good girl has been exposed to the world)
and now I'm feeling like I don(have)  lost my way
Am I a fool?
Shey I don go astray?
Am I a victim of my circumstance?
Omo luwabi ti bo so wa ye
and now I'm feeling like I don loss my way
I be Child of the world,
I don become a child of the world,
I be Child of the world,
I don become a child of the world,
I be Child of the world,
I don become a child of the world,
I be Child of the world,
I don become a child of the world,
Yah
She don dey look for that thing she dey resist before
She never had a Daddy figure so she need the luck
Uncle Peter don create beast, he can't tame the stuff
She like make e rough
She can't have enough
She met some ladies wey go like rub shoulder
on some quick business with a high turn over
Say if you ride stake, you go ride range rover
Aristo P.l.c shey you wan be Stake holder
Now with Sugar daddy coming everyday
She don dey get the pay
If you get the dollar spend the pay, no dey negotiate
She's in deeper, her whole life don deteriorate
Many belle she don get, she don terminate(she has terminated many unwanted pregnancies)
Queen runs girl, she no get any competition
Gomina(governor)  Senator, she's giving every politician
Somebody tell am say the consequences no dey lightly
Until She tested positive to Hiv
{Hook}
Am I a fool?
Shey I don go astray?
Am I a victim of my circumstance?
Omo luwa bi ti bo so wa ye
and now I'm feeling like I don lost my way
Am I a fool?
Shey I don go astray?
Am I a victim of my circumstance?
Omo luwa bi ti bo so wa ye
and now I'm feeling like I don loss my way
I'm a Child of the world
I don become a child of the world
I be Child of the world
I don become a child of the world
I be Child of the world
I don become a child of the world
I be Child of the world
I don become a child of the world
She promise not to disappoint
I guess she broke her vow
She let herself go
She let Mummy down
But she go fight to defeat that depression
as long as she's alive she can still find redemption
She's getting people sensitized about the virus
She's now hoping that her story might inspire us
Don't be like me, help me tell the young ones
Don't come to realize it after you're long gone
{Hook}
Please don't be a fool now
Don't go astray
Don't be a victim of your circumstance
Omo luwa bi ma bo so wa aye(a good child should not experience things like that)
I didn't know when I lost my way
Please don't be a fool now
Don't go astray
Don't be a victim of your circumstance
Omo luwa bi ma bo so wa aye
I didn't know when I lost my way
{Outro}
I'm a Child of the world,
I just became a child of the worl
I be Child of the world
I don become a child of the world
Child of the world
I just became a child of the world
Child of the world
I don become a child of the world
