Baba God Borrow Me 5 Billion – (Hold Satan Responsible)
Lyrics
Intro
I wake up this morning, I check the pot
Yesterday food finish, today pot dey hot with nothing
Water dey boil inside empty pot, steam dey come out
I close the lid, pretend say something dey cook
Verse 1
I count my coins since morning, e no reach transport
I trek miles to work under sun, no escort
My shoe dey open mouth, the sole don separate
I use rubber band hold am so e no go vibrate
I reach work, my body dey sweat
No be exercise, na hunger make me forget
Lunch time everybody chop, I drink water fill my chest
I tell them I don already eat—God forgive me for that jest
Chorus
Papa God borrow me 5 billion, hunger go kill me
Papa God borrow me 10 billion, hunger go kill me
If I no pay back, God, Satan responsible
If I no pay back, God, the devil responsible
Verse 2
My pikin for school send letter, fees don overdue
Teacher send am out of class, wetin I go do?
I beg the teacher give me one more week
She don hear that one before, she no even speak
Night time come, whole family dey sleep
I cry to God, quiet tears wey deep
My wife ask wetin we go cook
I say God go provide, but nothing dey the pot
Chorus
Papa God borrow me 5 billion, hunger go kill me
Papa God borrow me 10 billion, hunger go kill me
If I no pay back, God, Satan responsible
If I no pay back, God, the devil responsible
Verse 3
I work from morning, I work till night
Still nothing to show, something no dey right
My neighbor dey cook, the smell enter my room
I swallow saliva, pretend say I full
I no dey give up but sometimes I wan cry
Because hunger no suppose be reason I die
Just borrow me small, I go work hard to pay
And if I fail, na death go lead me astray
Chorus
Papa God borrow me 5 billion, hunger go kill me
Papa God borrow me 10 billion, hunger go kill me
If I no pay back, God, Satan responsible
If I no pay back, God, the devil responsible
Outro
Every person wey dey struggle, this song about you
Every mama wey dey hustle, this song about you
Every pikin wey dey school, this song about you
If we no pay back, devil go answer
Papa God borrow me 5 billion, hunger go kill me
