[Vocal: English]
Dear Broda
I hear your soul whisper in the dark oo,
Carrying heavy burdens, still playing all your part.
Smiling like you’re not tired, but I see the lies,
Prayers hit the ceiling its been silence, no replies.
Feel the same way sometimes, like I'm sinking but I can't scream oo,
And I call for help many times but a savior I can't see.
[Vocal: Yoruba]
Ojú ti rí but kò kàn ayé,
Enu wón ti sọ but kò ràye.
Ìrora pò but kò le sọ fún ẹni kankan
But tí owó bá dé, kò sé dàna f’oun nikan.
[Vocal: English]
So roll, roll, roll, roll oo,
It could be your boat, it could be your dice,
It could be grace, it could be your time.
You can't be unlucky every day.
[Vocal: English]
Go, go, go, keep going oo,
It could be your fight, it could be your rise,
It could be your chance, it could be your light.
You can't be unlucky every day.

Every sunrise feels like the last,
Hope so slow, but the pain comes so fast
Embrace yourself till it gets so better
Though the pain on chest is getting heavier
[Vocal: Yoruba]
