[Intro]
(Soft piano + distant choir)
Yeah yeah…
From the beginning…
This my story…
Listen close…
[Verse 1]
Born in a small room, rain dey leak for roof
Mama hold me tight, say “boy, go find your truth”
No silver spoon, no food sometimes
But we still dey smile through the hard hard times
Papa hustle morning till the night
Street light dreams, no steady light
School shoes tear, I still dey walk
Pain in my chest but I no fit talk
Every day na survival mode
Heavy burdens on a tiny soul
Friends dey laugh, say I no go rise
But deep inside I carry fire
[Pre-Chorus]
I told myself say one day
This pain go fade away
Even when the road too rough
I no go ever give up
[Chorus]
Now my life don change
From the struggle and pain
Now the money and fame
Still remember my name
From the darkness I came
Now the whole world know my face
Grace carried me through the rain
And I’m shining today
[Verse 2]
Teenage years, life became cold
Empty pockets, wounded soul
Worked many jobs just to survive
Still thanking God I was alive
Some nights hunger no let me sleep
Promises everybody no fit keep
People wey I trust all disappear
Only my mama voice I still dey hear
“Keep moving son, your time will come”
So I put my feelings inside my songs
Studio nights with borrowed mic
Praying someday things go alright
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept believing every day
Though tears fall on my face
I carried hope inside my heart
Even when life tear me apart
[Chorus]
Now my life don change
From the struggle and pain
Now the money and fame
Still remember my name
From the darkness I came
Now the whole world know my face
Grace carried me through the rain
And I’m shining today
[Bridge]
Now mama riding in a better car
We finally healing all the scars
From the ghetto to the big big stage
See the blessings pouring every day
I still remember where I’m from
All the nights I felt alone
If you dey struggle, hold on tight
Your morning go come after night
[Final Chorus]
Now my life don change
No more hiding my pain
[Outro]
See money
See
