Ohhh... why me? Why me?
Tears dey fall, my heart dey bleed...
Ohhh... why me? Why me?
Nobody hear my cry for night...
*(Verse 1 – Ose speaking from his heart)*
I no mean to be trouble, I no mean to fight,
But for this life, na only suffer I sight,
Everywhere I go, dem call me disgrace,
Even my own people no wan see my face...
*(Pre-Chorus – Soft response, like villagers whispering)*
Ose na problem... (Problem...)
Ose no get sense... (Sense...)
Ose don spoil him life... (Life...)
Who go save am now?
*(Chorus – Repeat with more pain in the voice)*
Ohhh... why me? Why me?
Tears dey fall, my heart dey bleed...
Ohhh... why me? Why me?
Nobody hear my cry for night...
*(Verse 2 – Ose remembering his past)*
I just wan play, I just wan laugh,
But trouble dey follow me like my shadow for back,
Now I dey lonely, nobody to call,
Even my best friend don leave me for road...
*(Bridge – Ose cries out, slow and broken voice)*
If I fit turn back time, I go do am well,
I go beg my mama, I go respect my elders,
But now e don late, I dey cry alone,
Who go hear Ose? Who go bring me home?
*(Final Chorus – Everyone singing softly, like a funeral song)*
Ohhh... why me? Why me?
Tears dey fall, my heart dey bleed...
Ohhh... why me? Why me?
Nobody hear my cry for night...
