[Intro]
Ah-ah...
Mo ti ri pupo, but I still dey stand
[Verse]
Mama ask why my eyes no dey rest
I hide old wounds underneath my chest
Every small sound make my heartbeat run
I learned to smile when the hurting come
[Pre-Chorus]
Twenty shades of madness in my head
But I no be all the things pain said
Oluwa, lead me where the truth dey hide
Make I meet myself on the other side
[Chorus]
Twenty shades of madness, I dey carry am
No be weakness, na the war wey I survive am
Mo n wa ona, I dey find my way
From the dark inside, I go see better day
Twenty shades of madness, hear me now
I was lost for long, but I know myself somehow
If my heart still beat, I fit begin again
No more running from the boy inside the pain
[Verse 2]
Street taught silence, fear taught me defense
I called it strength, but e cost me sense
One night I spoke, my brother held my hand
Said, "Omo, your scars no make you less of man"
[Bridge]
Ko si ohun ti mo fe hide again
I forgive the past, but I remember when
Jesu mi, give me courage for the day
What broke my mind no go take my name away
[Outro]
Twenty shades... but I still get one soul
Step by step, I dey come back whole
