Awelewo: True to Myself
Afrobeat
🎶 INTRO Awelewo… awelewo… (Yeahhh… Fokous Ena…) Too many tears, too many stories… --- 🎶 VERSE 1 Awelewo, awelewo… Too many tears, too many stories on my chest. What should I do? Wetin I go do again? I’m just trying to be myself, no pretend. I’m just trying to live my life, I no send. Everyday na pressure, everyday na test… But I still dey stand, I still dey give my best. --- 🎶 PRE-HOOK Must I be like Amaka before you love me? Must I be like Amaka before you follow me? Must I be like Amaka before you notice me? Why una no dey see the real me? --- 🎶 HOOK / CHORUS I’m trying my best (my best), I’m trying my best… I’m doing my things (my things), I’m doing my things my way. Even when the world wan push me the other way, I go still stay true to who I be today. (Fokous Ena… yeah…) --- 🎶 VERSE 2 Sometimes e dey pain me, but I no talk. Silent battles every day, I just dey walk. People see smile, but them no know the shock. Life don hit me many times, but I still dey rock. If I fall down once, I dey rise up twice. If I love you deep, no be foolish vibes. I just want peace, I no want fight… I dey pray make better days show face for my life. --- 🎶 BRIDGE Awelewo… my tears don dey dry small-small. Awelewo… but the scars still dey talk. If nobody send me, I go send myself. If nobody love me, I go love myself. --- 🎶 FINAL CHORUS I’m trying my best (my best), I’m trying my best… I’m doing my things (my things), I’m doing my things my way. Even when the world wan turn me another way, I go still stay true to who I be today. Awelewo… awelewo… Fokous_ena yeh....
