Woke up one sunday morning

Told my daddy I?m leaving home

I?m going off to the city tomorrow

Even though I don?t know where to go

Daddy said son, "don?t be a fool

coz life in the city is unbelievable

you could get broken oh

you?re just a little boy

and you may never find your way".

and I said

I know I could get lost, I Know I-I-I

i know i could get broken I know I-I-I

forgive me father but I got to take a chance

and I?m already gone so just


Pray for me, (Gbadura fun mi)

pray I find my way (k?ori bamise)

oh forgive me father 

but I got to take a chance

oh I?m already gone so just


Pray for me, (Gbadura fun mi)

pray I find my way (k?ori bamise)

oh forgive me father 

but I got to take a chance

oh I?m already gone so just


Hello daddy how?re you doing?

hope mama?s doing ok

It?s been four years and eleven months now

(mo gbo pe aduke ti dagba olorun)

It was true what you said to me

(ah ah ah ah ah)

life in the city is unbelievable

(ah ah ah ah ah)

had to struggle just to get by everyday

and I could barely find my way
