LYRICS

Yuh

Yuuuh (yuh)

Yuuuh (yuh)

Yeah came outta poverty saw my family struggling
Deep in these trenches saw the violence was calling me
They say back in my city my people proud of me
I know rejection like brother It’s a part of me

we never had no TV had no video games
and we never had no shoes cause santa never came
Yeah we grew up in the trenches but we overcame
Got my mama thinking how these people know my name



Mama I’m famous
Sometimes i’m a rapper
Other days an entertainer
Took on many jobs
But never had me on retainer
I’ve been through the struggle
But I swear I’m no complainer



Why you wanna see me fall
Why you wanna see me poor
I am not a silly boy
Moving like houdini boy

Man I had my belly starving
that was two nights on row
Yeah I do just what I want
I don’t do what I am told

Oh yeah
I stayed up, I stayed up
Put my head down
and I prayed up, I prayed up
I worked harder
Never gave up, gave up
Had the struggle motivate us

Oh yeah
I stayed up, (stayed up)
Put my head down
And I prayed up, (prayed up)
I worked harder
Never gave up, (gave up)

Had the struggle motivate us


Owu blow me breeze
Anywhere belle face
My current very low
Na everyday I come dey change phase

Come back from work
Nepa fit don cut the light
Sapa nice one, na wickedness nai full ur mind

But, still I conquered you with Harry Carter
I’m gangsta givin up will never be an answer
If I no blow with Rap, I’ll become a kidnapper

Time waits for nobody
Me too no go wait for time
Keep your heads up
Life’s a moving train
Keep your head down
Or you miss your bus stop

What of Benin, wey no get train
Na oshiomole drivers
Nai go pass ur bus stop

Oh yeah
I stayed up, I stayed up
Put my head down
and I prayed up, I prayed up

I worked harder
Never gave up, gave up
had the struggle motivate us



Oh yeah
I stayed up, (stayed up)
Put my head down
and I prayed up, (prayed up)
I worked harder

Never gave up, (gave up)
had the struggle motivate us

Oh yeah
I stayed up
And I put my head down and I prayed up
I’ve been working harder never gave up
And I had the struggle motivate us
