Awa Afufu (Life) Lyrics by Illbliss

Dat Ibo Boy

0

Amarum maka gi
Mana, ike uwa a gugomu o
Eh eh, mhmmm
Mana amarumu maka gi
Mana ike uwa a gugomu o
Uwa ndoli
Uwa ndoli
Uwa Afufu
Almost broke down writing this verse
My life is moving out of reverse
Some nights I feel like kicking the horse
But somehow im getting through
This mad struggle called life
My head filled with all types of pressure man
So I sit back reflect on how I made it this far
Born without a silver spoon
Grew up sharing same room
With my brother muna
Pops was happy go lucky
Mum so strict with the cane
And the fist
Went through highschool
Plus uni
Graduated flying colors
Fuck the B.Sc honors
Cus to me just a piss of paper
Move to Lagos from my youth
Service, started taking rap serious
Found a job in the bank ‘in V.I
Lucky me
Got inducted to a different kind of slavery now
End enough to get a few shirts
Shoes and nice looks
Stick, target deposit
Driving me sick
Used to drag the first day of the week
Bosses breathing down my neck
Telling me to quit you loser
You weren’t fit for the job, resign
Went home o stressed out
So many nights almost cried out
I was stuck in a tight spot
Couldn’t leave cus my older bro
Had no job to keep it moving
Plus he had a wife and a seed on the way
Used to leave the one the window ledge
Close to the edge
At some point we were six or so in a small crib
Never spot no light
Landlady giving me hell
Life sucks when you look closely
Today is rosy
Next day turn a rich *** aint it funny
Amarum maka gi
Mana, ike uwa a gugomu o
Eh eh, mhmmm
Mana amarumu maka gi
Mana ike uwa a gugomu o
Uwa ndoli
Uwa ndoli
Uwa Afufu
My niece came feb twenty fifith
What a gift plus a sigh of relief
We named her chimnanu
God listens in igbo dialect
My job ran out
So I left the country with a visa
Plus a hundred pounds
Almost close to death
Cus I had light clothes on
Snowflakes in my socks
I had to pick these locks
Find a way out my misery
Fed from hand to mouth
Couldn’t even secure a job
Couldn’t pay the rent
Used to sleep in night buses
From central to west London
Seek the way out so close to defeat
I kept praying for a break
So I could get my life back on track
Now im spitting over Jonas tracks
So you can share a bit of my pain
Just an extra immigrant
Docking trying to eat
Look to my left to my right cold pavements
Frosty side walks
Fingers numb, belly grumble
Toes ache from the miles I walk
Job fellas kept asking for my
National insurance number
Which I didn’t have
So I quit sat in the church
Tears streaming down my face
What a life I led
What a burden
I guess its rough from the cradle
To the tomb stone never peace
Till your six feet underneath
This life got me so worn out
We through man
Amarum maka gi
Mana, ike uwa a gugomu o
Eh eh, mhmmm
Mana amarumu maka gi
Mana ike uwa a gugomu o
Uwa ndoli
Uwa ndoli
Uwa Afufu
Amarum maka gi
Mana, ike uwa a gugomu o
Eh eh, mhmmm
Mana amarumu maka gi
Mana ike uwa a gugomu o
Uwa ndoli
Uwa ndoli
Uwa Afufu
