[Intro - Davido style soft vocal run] Ohhh... Ehhh.. I never mean am like this... [Verse 1] I remember that night e dey rain outside Me and papa dey fight, mama dey cry inside Bills everywhere, nothing wey we fit do I said papa trust me, I go see us through I take everything wey we save for years Put am for something wey I think go clear All our pain, all our struggle, all our fight I thought by morning everything go be alright [Pre Hook - building, emotional] But nobody tell me Nobody warn me I was just a child Trying to save my family Ohhhh... [Hook - big Davido chorus, background vocals echoing] These are my tears I cry am for you mama These are my tears I tried to make you proud These are my tears Falling like the rain now I just wanted us to make am But I let you down Ohhh let you down Ehhh let you down I just wanted us to make am But I let you down [Verse 2] Two fifty per coin I press confirm that night Hands dey shake but I say everything go be alright I take papa retirement, mama blessing too Told myself say God go see me through I screenshot the chart, I smile small small Never think say this investment go fall I kneel down for my room, I pray give God Never know say this road go be so hard [Pre Hook] Nobody tell me Nobody warn me I was just a pikin Trying to save my family Ohhhh... [Hook] These are my tears I tried to make you proud These are my tears Falling like the rain now I just wanted us to make am But I let you down Ohhh let you down Ehhh let you down I just wanted us to make am But I let you down [Bridge - Davido style breakdown, ad libs heavy] Solana... why you do me like this eh Everything wey I had... gone like this eh Mama face when she find out... kill me softly Papa eyes when he knew... God forgive me Ehhhhh... Ohhhh... I never mean am... I swear I never mean am... [Verse 3 - quiet before final chorus] Now I sit alone, phone dey face down Can't look at the chart, can't look at the town How I go face them when I wasted their dreams Nothing in this life is ever what it seems I started with tears, I go end with tears The kind of pain wey go follow me for years But somewhere inside me I still hear them pray Mama voice dey tell me son it go be okay [Final Hook - massive, stadium feeling, full background vocals] These are my tears I cry am for you mama These are my tears I tried to make you proud These are my tears Falling like the rain now I just wanted us to make am But I let you down Ohhh let you down Ehhh let you down [Outro - fading, just Promise and a guitar] Mama I'm sorry eh... Papa forgive me oh... Ijust wanted better for us... I just wanted better.. Ehhh... Ohhhh... These are my tears...
