The mellow, ambient track explore themes of teenage rebellion, substance use, and the conflict between personal desires and parental disappointment.
[Verse 1]
Noticed the stars in the sky were lost
No its not me it’s just the place I was born
I thought this world was sane enough
It’s hard being the D I T R
[Hook]
I disobeyed
I taught you better
My mama yelled
Omomi wa da
Your child is changing
She started drinking
She’s doing drugs now
To end this feelings
[Verse 2]
She don dey do runs girl
She’s a bit shy God have mercy
Smoke a little Indian hem
Or se igbo labi
She’s still your baby
Nothing has changed please
She’s only aging
Peer pressure bad ni
[Verse 3]
Loving ties
Scary fight
All we know is loving people wе don’t like
Just to vibe
Then wе end up drinking liquor
In the night
With a smile
Claiming that we satisfied
With all this fights
Punches everywhere
Like it's Christmas light
[Hook]
I disobeyed
I taught you better
My mama yelled
Omomi wa da
Your boy is changing
He started drinking
He’s doing drugs now
To end this feelings
[Bridge]
He’s a diamond in the rough
Now he’s just playing with a gun
Does he go to school anymore
Or is he the king of his cult
[Hook]
'Cause I disobeyed
I thought you better
My mama yelled
Omomi wa da
Your child is changing
They started drinking
He’s doing drugs now
To end this feelings
[Outro]
Omomi wa da
Wa da
