Tell Your Papa by Eedris Abdulkareem
[Verse 1] Tell your papa say we dey suffer No light, no fuel, everything dey cost Tell your papa say we need better Not palliatives wey no dey last
[Chorus] Tell your papa, tell your papa Make e hear the voice of the people Tell your papa, tell your papa Say we no fit dey live like this
[Verse 2] Tell your papa say we need jobs Young people dey hustle, no support Tell your papa say make e act We no want promises, we want facts
[Chorus] Tell your papa, tell your papa Make e hear the voice of the people Tell your papa, tell your papa Say we no fit dey live like this
[Bridge] We dey pray for change, we dey hope But everyday na the same old story Tell your papa say we dey tire We need action, not just talk
[Chorus] Tell your papa, tell your papa Make e hear the voice of the people Tell your papa, tell your papa Say we no fit dey live like this
[Outro] Tell your papa, tell your papa Make e hear the voice of the people
