SITUATION Ajuju-SQ Every morning I dey wake, I dey thank God say I see light, But before I leave my room, I don pray make I survive. Na another day for hustle, another battle for the street, Everybody get a burden, everybody dey chase something. Food don cost, rent don high, everything dey increase, You fit work from morning till night, still you no get peace. One money enter your hand, three problems dey wait outside, You dey smile in front of people, but inside you dey fight. Mama dey call her son, “My pikin, where you dey?” Because the things wey dey happen make a mother lose her sleep. People dey move with caution, everybody watch their back, We just want to reach our destination and return back intact. Young boys get big dreams but the road no get direction, Graduate carry certificate, still dey search for connection. Some dey learn a skill, some dey hustle for survival, Some dey wake up every morning just to fight another battle. I know say life no balance, but I still dey hold my faith, Because giving up today fit destroy tomorrow's better days. I don see enough hardship to understand the street, When poverty knock your door, even sleep no be complete. Sometimes I ask myself, “How we go take survive?” But I look into the eyes of my people and I see the will to fight. No be everybody want luxury, no be everybody want fame, Some just want steady work and food inside their plate. Somebody dey cry for help, somebody dey hide the pain, Somebody dey laugh outside but inside heavy rain. Father dey struggle for his children, mother dey sacrifice, Everybody dey carry something wey you no see with your eyes. I pray for the land, I pray for every family, Make peace return to places where fear don become reality. Make farmer walk his farm without looking over his shoulder, Make every young person get a chance to build something proper. Because this situation don teach me how to stand, Even when the road rough, I still dey move with my plan. I no know what tomorrow carry, but I know I must believe, If God give me another morning, then another chance I receive. Ajuju-SQ, I dey speak from the things I see, Not pretending everything perfect, not hiding reality. The struggle dey real, but my spirit still alive, I go keep pushing forward—one day, we go survive.
