So different, she grows into this weird world
having it's norms, norms that she always faults
she's judged cos she doesn't abide by the rules
"too churchy" that's a title attached to her name
she struggles to stay pure, that's just one part of her fate
she could get anything she wants in the blink of an eye
but she doesn't know how to let go her pride
she's different, and no matter how hard the times are
she decides to stand

Yes I did

While I struggled in bed
with pillows above my head
trying so hard to stop my ears
from hearing their yells
but no, I still heard it all

"Nwa mo, ke kwanu?
the Lord is your strength, take heart"
I really didn't want to cry
but every time their words moved through my ears, I cried

I didn't cry because of the death
I cried because of the fear I felt
I cried because if they had to find out the truth, I'ld be dead
"cos I killed Mama"
