[Intro]
Like I said, Ebu
I want you to be happy
Go out, enjoy, enjoy what you work for
Don't save, save, save, save, save
Enjoy it, go on vacation, be happy with your friends
Because your dad did not really enjoy what he worked for
He was always pleasing people, pleasing people
Today, I've gone to buy food
The food that we'd eat for three or four days, I spent twenty thousand
It's my money, I worked for it
So please, enjoy yourself
Enjoy to the fullest, yu-ye?
Mm, what again did I want to say?
[Verse]
Hope no clouds are blocking the view
Hope you can see what I turned into, oh
Hope I'm out here making you proud, oh
Hope God doesn't judge you by your sins
And when you knock on Heaven's gate, oh
Hope they let you in, oh
Hope you're forgiven, oh
Hope they let you in, oh
Hope you're forgiven, oh
When they let you in
Put in a good word for me
[Outro]
Hey, Daddy, it's your last-born, Tunmise
Hey, Daddy, it's Tolu
Hey, Daddy, this is Ayeni, oh
Daddy, this is Ade
Hey, Daddy, this is Daniel, I'm about to release my project
I miss you
I miss you so, so much
I miss-miss you
I'm in school now, I'm doing well
I'll be 24 very soon, this is July
Um, I turned 19, I can't believe it
And I'm here, you know, doing what I know how to do best
Shoot videos
I miss you, and I want you to know I've got a daughter now
Her name is Jemimah, she's 2 years
I wish you were here with me to just—
To hold my hands, ah God, I'm trying my best
Mommy's doing okay, everybody's doing well
I'm, I'm doing well sha, I'm doing well
Caleb
