Duade (feat. Cina Soul)

I don't think we realise what this crazy place does to our psyche Man, you know like; we don't even have any outlets to talk. Over here we feel like being a man means, We have to swallow everything, chest everything, keep it inside. When I was young they use to ask me, What are you doing in the kitchen? or guy why are you crying? Are you a child? are you a baby? That's real stuff they used to tell us. So you grow up thinking that you can't talk to anybody, You can't be vulnerable, you can't express yourself to anyone, And in this crazy jungle that we live in again. This mad type of society where you really need to talk, You need to find ways to express; to open up emotionally. You know, they view it as some kind of weakness. It's mad Mini sane mini ofeɔ Ba ni magbɔjo omli Akɛɛ hii afee hii e Ni yei afee yei e Akɛɛ hii wɔɔɔ pii But I got something else to say You come with me let's play game Where you hide and I seek To find the meaning Why you won't show me the weak in you You hide and I seek to find the reason Why you won't let yourself go baby Owele wa,duade Owele wa, duade Owele wa, duade Take you on a journey Owele wa, duade Take you on a journey Are you not supposed to be a man Why you crying I don't understand Shey you need someone to hold your hand I bury thoughts of being vulnerable Beneath the sand She asking questions that's exposing all my inner scams I feel like letting go, make I open up Previous babes don dey wonder why I'm slow to trust I put my feelings in the chamber then I load it up But I never shoot, It's like we fear the truth She trying to take me on a journey and I no dey fight Like she's taking me to market wey I no dey price Cos I'm hoping that she'll save me from my own advice She keeps telling me to take a chance and roll the dice But this is life always feeling that there's something more Always asking "Wale what is it you running for?" My uncle told me you should always make them love you more Now I know that he was scared and it's not his fault, not at all But I got something else to say You come with me let's play game Where you hide and I seek To find the meaning Why you won't show me the weak in you You hide and I seek to find the reason Why you won't let yourself go baby Owele wa, duade Owele wa, duade Owele wa, duade Take you on a journey Owele wa, duade Take you on a journey If ya listening it might be too late You're probably a victim of conditioning and too dazed to wake and smell the bouquet Still you try rise from grass to grace as if ya Tuface Weight of the world up on ya shoulders as you start a new day I take a mental Polaroid bumping vintage Lupe as foundation's built on quicksand Submerge under monsoon rain And these days, stormy seasons last a little longer Spending more time in traffic than reading to my daughter but I must be stronger cuz it hasnt killed this yet In this place where you here one day And could be gone the next Swear that whole Tbills episode struck a chord in my chest If you're living here in naija, you're some form of depressed Yes you heard correct It's no wonder how we manage to be more concerened with if Wiz Is dating Tiwa savage Than the interior decorations of our mental palace The stress is post traumatic I pray my son doest catch it but... But I got something else to say You come with me let's play game Where you hide and I seek To find the meaning Why you won't show me the weak in you You hide and I seek to find the reason Why you won't let yourself go baby Owele wa, duade Owele wa, duade Owele wa, duade Take you on a journey Owele wa, duade Take you on a journey Take you on a journey Take you on a journey Take you on a journey Take you on a journey
