Easy, Easy (Make I Find My Way) (Afrobeat)

Mama say, ọmọ mi, take your time Road no dey run from anybody Papa tap him cup for table slow Say “small tree no dey teach old forest” Sunday dust on the balcony rail Radio dey play old Rex Lawson low Uncle for parlour dey sip him tea Talking story from before I know He say “Person wey no hear word go jam wall” Everybody laugh like e be song But my body wan waka different road Still I smile and nod along Because love fit carry heavy hand Even when the heart mean well Family na shelter from hot sun Family fit be cage as well Easy, easy, make I find my way No be fight, no be run away I still hear the elders when dem call my name But river no fit flow the same Easy, easy, no vex for me I dey carry home inside my feet If I bend small, make I stand small too Abeg, make I live my truth Sunday dust on the balcony rail Radio dey play old Rex Lawson low Uncle for parlour dey sip him tea Talking story from before I know Aunty say “When you go marry now?” Everybody laugh around the rice One girl from church dey smile too hard Like them don arrange my life Mama whisper “Good wife bring peace to house” And I know she mean am true But moon no ask permission shine Why my own road need committee too? Because home fit hold your weary head When the whole world turn cold Still a bird wey never test him wing No go know where breeze dey go Easy, easy, make I find my way No be fight, no be run away I still hear the elders when dem call my name But river no fit flow the same Easy, easy, no vex for me I dey carry home inside my feet If I bend small, make I stand small too Abeg, make I live my truth I no dey throw away the stories Or the prayer Mama know I just dey ask if love still fit grow When choice fit also grow Ẹ jọ̀ọ́, hear me small I still be your child Even stubborn river Still remember where rain fall Easy, easy Make I find my way No be fight, no be run away I still hear the elders when dem call my name But river no fit flow the same Easy, easy No vex for me I dey carry home inside my feet Old drum still dey beat for chest But this heart wan choose the next Ọmọ mi… take your time…
