"Lately" lyrics
(feat. Raybekah)
For the boys them o'
I control my destiny
Ooh wee, aah we, oh
I control my destiny
Lately, I've been in my shift
I've been thinking deep
I've been looking at my walls and wailing (Wailing)
Oh lately, I cannot trust anybody (Body)
But everyone gon' betray me
Now every day and I focus on God o'
Oh lately, I been fighting my demons
I been waiting for King Kong
To come to my rescue but he don't
Know what I been through
Lately, papa, they had me cry
Papa, they see me through
A pool of the thick despair, aweh
Oh, I'm praying, praying
Telling Papa God to save me
'Cause the struggle I dey call it (Call it, call it)
Now I'm connected
Connected to those (Those) people with the dey o doubt (O)
When I know how it goes
Yeah, running from my past 'cause it's ugly
Everyone happy besides me
How can I go big when demons in my dreams?
Prayed for this life, but it's not what it seems
You don't know the half where I came from
Scrapped from the bottom, right out of the slums
You don't even know where my life begun
I'm losing connection
I was getting bills, nobody came for me (Nobody came for me)
Calling on the phone I got their answering machines (I got their answering machines)
Alone in my room, I had to cry (I had to cry)
Eight years old, I had to learn to survive
So many times I wanted to quit, I had to try
The ones I love the most, they all went and died on me
I was puttin' on first when they had time for me (They had time)
Oh, oh (Yeah), lately I been in my feelings (I been in my feelings)
I ain't been focused on me (On me)
Handling my demons with God (Handle them with God)
Oh, lately, I, I been forgiving (I been forgiving)
But that don't mean that I been healing (I haven't)
My choices control where I'm living (Damn)
Oh (Oh), I'm praying (I'm praying), praying (I'm praying)
Telling Papa God to save me (Save me)
'Cause the struggle I dey call it (Call it, call it)
Now I'm connected
Connected to those (Those, yeah) people with the dey o doubt (O)
When I know how it goes
(I know how it goes, I know how it goes)
Daddy, daddy, daddy
Save me
Oh, oh
Save me
Daddy, daddy, daddy
Save me
Oh, oh
Save me
Save me
Save me
I control my destiny
I control my destiny
I control my destiny
Ooh wee, aah we, oh
I control my destiny
Lately, I've been in my shift
I've been thinking deep
I've been looking at my walls and wailing (Wailing)
Oh lately, I cannot trust anybody (Body)
But everyone gon' betray me
Now every day and I focus on God o'
Oh lately, I been fighting my demons
I been waiting for King Kong
To come to my rescue but he don't
Know what I been through
Lately, papa, they had me cry
Papa, they see me through
A pool of the thick despair, aweh
Oh, I'm praying, praying
Telling Papa God to save me
'Cause the struggle I dey call it (Call it, call it)
Now I'm connected
Connected to those (Those) people with the dey o doubt (O)
When I know how it goes
Yeah, running from my past 'cause it's ugly
Everyone happy besides me
How can I go big when demons in my dreams?
Prayed for this life, but it's not what it seems

Daddy, daddy, daddy
Save me
Oh, oh
Save me
Save me
Save me
I control my destiny
I control my destiny
