Tell Your Papa
by Eedris Abdulkareem
[Verse 1]
Tell your papa say we dey suffer
No light, no fuel, everything dey cost
Tell your papa say we need better
Not palliatives wey no dey last
[Chorus]
Tell your papa, tell your papa
Make e hear the voice of the people
Tell your papa, tell your papa
Say we no fit dey live like this
[Verse 2]
Tell your papa say we need jobs
Young people dey hustle, no support
Tell your papa say make e act
We no want promises, we want facts
[Chorus]
Tell your papa, tell your papa
Make e hear the voice of the people
Tell your papa, tell your papa
Say we no fit dey live like this
[Bridge]
We dey pray for change, we dey hope
But everyday na the same old story
Tell your papa say we dey tire
We need action, not just talk
[Chorus]
Tell your papa, tell your papa
Make e hear the voice of the people
Tell your papa, tell your papa
Say we no fit dey live like this
[Outro]
Tell your papa, tell your papa
Make e hear the voice of the people
