Soka Lam (Feat. Kailey Botman)

It couldn't have been easy to move here from Ghana, I know
You came with a man who would give you lots of drama, I know
One year later, you gave birth to me
My existence made you quit your dreams
It saddens me, your sacrifice, just so you could hold me tight
But I will hide my tears so you don't know

If you hear this, I'm so sorry
I'm aware you're sad 'cause I am not around
I'm a man now but inside of me
There's still the child you raised that wants to make you proud

Two more children later and Dad would still bring sorrow, I know
One day he would walk out and our step-sister followed, oh no
A single mother left to raise the rest
And I know you really tried your best
To give us hope when all was bleak whilst you would get back on your feet
I should really thank you, you know

If you hear this, I'm so sorry
I'm aware you're sad 'cause I am not around
I'm a man now but inside of me
There's still the child you raised that wants to make you proud

I know we have some horrid memories
But i never lacked 'cause you were everything
To me

If you hear this, I'm so sorry
I'm aware you're sad 'cause I am not around
I'm a man now but inside of me
There's still the child you raised that wants to make you proud

If you hear this, I'm so sorry
I'm aware you're sad 'cause I am not around
I'm a man now but inside of me
There's still the child you raised that wants to make you proud

How I love you so
I'm a man now but inside of me
There's still the child you raised that wants to make you proud
Mum, I never meant to go and let you down
There's still the child you raised that wants to make you proud
