Greetings everyone, I am coderaikiri welcome to the 300th edition of Hive Open Mic. To mark the 300th anniversary of this awesome community, the stipulation for this week is to present an original song that represents your inner self and in response to this rule I'll be performing an original song of mine titled Doing well so stay tuned and enjoy.
Doing Well is a motivation to do better, it's a song to pull through obstacles, terrible times and persevere into greatness. It starts off with the morning routine of waking up super early to help mom with her business after praying for greener pastures. Becoming someone great is a necessity even when the odds is stacked against us because there's excuse for failure. Nobody cares how hard the journey is, they only want to see results and that is why I intend to make it out of this phase so my parents(who are my biggest inspiration) will reap the benefits of my efforts. The song is not just that of hustling, it is the very sound of victory, one I intend to attain in the not so distant future..... So enjoy thank you.
LYRICS
Every morning I wake
I give thanks to Jah
Then I pray for mercies and alubarika
Run go junction
Help malee sell akara
nA daily routine
I gats wake up 4am
So I go help her wash beans
And then go ground am
Say all of us dey travel
This life na journey
But poverty no be the destination
Me I wan reach
Cus right now
I wan dey dress on top big things
So any where the money see me
Make e fit rape me
I have a dream ×2
Martin Luther King
Best student way no dey ever attend classes
They used to send me out
Cus I dey owe school fees.
Chorus
Oluwa run am for the boy ooh
Cus if man run am r go cast
Abegi run am for the boy oooh
Cus if man run am e go cast
No be untill I get money pass Adeleke
No be untill I get money pass Otedola
No be until I get money pass Dangote
No be untill I get money pass Adenuga
I just want to be doing well doing well ×3
Poverty na only cloth
You no fit wear snap picture
I don roast corn
I dey hustle
I don do concrete work
And I follow popsy
Learn how to repair watch
Aswear making it is a must
Any time I look back to wear I come from
I go motivate myself making it is a must
Na which excuse I wan give myself for failure
Especially parents I owe them a lot
Chorus continues
