(Aweh, listen up son)
(Daddy’s talking, you hear me?)
Liam, my boy, look at the world around you
It’s a big, wide circle, and the truth will find you
Don’t be fooled by the lights and the hollow fame
Get your education, son, that’s the name of the game
You see these people, they move like the tide
When the storm comes in, they’ve got nowhere to hide
They leave you standing when the money gets low
But I’m your foundation, watching you grow
(Eish, keep it real)
Oh Liam, life is a mountain you climb
Keep your head focused, one step at a time
Don’t trust the shadows, don’t trust the crowd
Your daddy’s here for you, standing tall and proud
Sharp sharp, keep your eyes on the prize
Life is a test under these southern skies
Your sister’s got that energy, full of the fun
That’s just the way, yeah, that’s life for everyone
But for you, my son, keep your feet on the ground
Listen to the wisdom in the silence, not the sound
Don't let them sweet-talk you into a hole
Protect your spirit, protect your soul
(Yebo, stay focused)
Oh Liam, life is a mountain you climb
Keep your head focused, one step at a time
Don’t trust the shadows, don’t trust the crowd
Your daddy’s here for you, standing tall and proud
Sharp sharp, keep your eyes on the prize
Life is a test under these southern skies
Respect the elder, respect the young
Speak your truth with a honest tongue
Regardless of age, let your manners shine
That’s how you win in this life of mine
(Asambe!)
It’s not easy out here, the road is long
But stay with me and you won't go wrong
Education is the key that opens the door
Don't settle for less, always reach for more
When the world gets heavy and the friends depart
Remember these words I’ve carved in your heart
(Sho, remember this)
Oh Liam, life is a mountain you climb
Keep your head focused, one step at a time
Don’t trust the shadows, don’t trust the crowd
Your daddy’s here for you, standing tall and proud
Sharp sharp, keep your eyes on the prize
Life is a test under these southern skies
Listen to your daddy, Liam
Stay serious, stay real
(Aweh)
Sharp sharp.
(Asambe)
