MY DADDY Daddy, I dey miss you every day, Since you left, life never be the same, Sometimes I look up to the sky at night, Wonder if you dey somewhere watching my life. Daddy, I get plenty things to tell you, Things I wish say I fit sit down and tell you, Your boy don grow, but the road no easy, I dey fight my battles, Daddy, believe me. I wish you were here to see me now, To see the man your little boy don become now, To hear me call you, “Daddy, how you dey?” Then you smile and tell me everything go dey okay. Who go give me that fatherly advice? Who go tell me how to make things right? Sometimes I need you, I no go lie, I hide my tears, but I still ask why. Daddy, I miss your voice, I miss your presence, I miss the feeling of knowing you were there, If I could get one more moment with you, I would hold you close and never let you go. Now I be father too, Daddy, And I understand the love more than before, When I look into my daughter’s eyes, I think about the father I never got to grow old with. Life took you away too soon, But your memory still dey inside my heart, Every step I take, I carry your name, Even though you're gone, your blood remains. Daddy, your boy still dey hustle, Still dey pray for a better tomorrow, Sometimes the pressure nearly break me down, But I remember you and I stand my ground. One day, when we meet again, I go tell you everything about the pain, Everything I achieved, everything I survived, And I'll say, “Daddy, your boy is still alive.” Sleep well, my Daddy, Your son never forget you, Distance no fit erase your memory, And death no fit take your love from me. Daddy, I miss you... More than words can say. Your boy still dey here, Still calling your name today.
