The Pressure Within The Man
Even before conception, God please, I need a boy
Thank God ooo it’s a baby boy
The generosity of the excitation goes undisturbed
In our small local village, he is made to enjoy hard jobs
He can do it, let him start learning now
He is a boy ooo, add more food to his
He is a boy!
Study hard ooo my son; you need it for a good job
You know you are a man now
Work hard ooo, you need to take care of your parents
Boom! When will you marry my son?
Are you considering priesthood?
Aaah! All your mates are now married!
Kpash! Efen a’wo, ochah ko’fen uni’raah (You are given birth to, you don't want to do same?)
You are now a man!
The innocent man is pushed to say: lady, I love you
The Lady: are you working?
The man: I have submitted many applications and they all promised to call me
The woman: you just said you love me.
But… How?
Are you sure you love me?
Biko! I am not ready for any relationship now.
My parents don’t even like people from your tribe.
The man gets back to his drawing board
This time, fully prepared
Congratulations ooo! You are now a man
Wife: Papa Odama! Papa Odama, when are we going to stop this trekking?
Odama: Daddy, the principal encouraged me to stay at home and help you tomorro because you have not paid my school fees
The man: when will I even stop enriching this Landlord? I need my own house
Huuu! He overcame all.
Oh, the pressure within the man!
Now, standing tall above stress, high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack ecetera
Uuhu! The Man and his overcoming innate ability
A gentle well done will always be good for the man
