Yeah, listen closely
This is a message from the heart
From the hills of Bokkos, Jos to the world
Sometimes the truth is the hardest pill to swallow
But you need to hear it today
Let’s go
I walk this path and I keep my head held high
I don’t give my time to the drama passing by
People come and go like the clouds in the sky
You gotta live your truth before the well runs dry
Do your best, put your heart into the grind
Leave all the negative energy behind
What makes you happy is the only thing that’s real
Protect your peace and the way that you feel
Do what you love, don’t let the weight pull you down
Don’t let the pressure be the reason that you drown
'Cause when you’re gone, the world keeps spinning round
They’ll forget your name, they’ll forget the sound
So wake up now, don’t wait until it’s too late
Take hold of your life, determine your own fate
Look at the reality, clear as the day
If you fall today, life will find a way
Your wife will move on, she’ll find another hand
Your lover finds a life that you didn’t plan
They won’t remember the battles you fought
They won’t remember the lessons you taught
So why kill yourself for the opinion of a ghost?
Focus on the things that matter the most
Do what you love, don’t let the weight pull you down
Don’t let the pressure be the reason that you drown
'Cause when you’re gone, the world keeps spinning round
They’ll forget your name, they’ll forget the sound
So wake up now, don’t wait until it’s too late
Take hold of your life, determine your own fate
Don’t wait for them to tell you that you’re worth the gold
Know your own value, let your story be told
Work on yourself, build your soul, build your frame
Before someone else comes to play with your name
Life is the teacher that the classroom couldn’t show
Listen to the voice, let the wisdom overflow
From Matelem to the world, hear the message clear
This is your season, let go of the fear
Protect your heart, put yourself in the light
Whatever you need to do, make it burn bright
It’s a long road, yeah, the journey is steep
But promises are yours alone to keep
You are important, believe it in your core
You don’t need a witness to open the door
Life will teach you lessons that parents couldn’t say
Stand up for yourself, start doing it today
Do what you love, don’t let the weight pull you down
Don’t let the pressure be the reason that you drown
'Cause when you’re gone, the world keeps spinning round
They’ll forget your name, they’ll forget the sound
So wake up now, don’t wait until it’s too late
Take hold of your life, determine your own fate
Yeah, focus on you
Jos to the world
Bokkos, Matelem
Keep your head up
Life continues, make it count
Do what makes you happy
Believe in you
