Hello friends
How are y’all doing? I’m a freshman in the house and I’m happy to be dropping my first entry in this beautiful community, a lot of great minds and talents reside here and I’m glad to be here.
This is Afri-tunes week 112 and. Submitting my entry I will be blessing your souls with a piece from my all time Favour Nigeria music artiste, popularly known as “Falz the bad guy”.
I will be doing a cover of “child of the world” by Falz.
This song is special to me because it stood as a caution point during a particular episode of my life.
“Child of the world” paints a vivid picture of what young ladies and even boys go through in the process of building a life for themselves and It is sad that so many have been swallowed by this menace but thank God for the likes of Falz and others who stand as activists through their music and other mediums making sure to salvage the lives of boys and girls.
The making
Making this post was really tasking because I had to score all the lyrics in my head then also had to record vocals first,editing the video was even more tasking and time consuming because I wanted you to enjoy watching it, Im sure you will enjoy watching it.
merging both the video and audio together was abit tasking but it was achieved and Although tasking it came out good.
- BandLab app (vocals recording and editing)
- Inshot (video and graphics editing)
- Video recording was done using (iphone 6s + Tecno tan device)
Lyrics
Yah
Go
Uhn
Ahn
Apple of her mother's eye
She be trophy daughter
Mummy raised her
Daddy never dropped a dollar
Daddy ran away, didn't wanna have a child
Mummy wasn't ready
Still remember how she cried
But time flies, all that one is in the past life
Shola ti mature,
Gbogbo body ti di large size
She just collect Law
Degree for unilag
'First Class' in the bag
Make her mummy to dey brag
She went to be an intern for her uncle
Just a little hustle before she go to Law School
My daughter, the Lord will be your muscle
Omo Jesu, Mummy know she love the Gospel
But uncle Peter, agbaya, alainitiju
One late night, 'became wild in the Sitting Room
Uncle please stop... Shhh, be silent
Uncle didn't stop till he broke the hymen
Am I a fool?
Shey I don go astray?
Am I a victim of my circumstance?
Omoluabi ti bo s'owo aye
And now, I'm feeling like I don lost my way
Am I a fool?
Shey I don go astray?
Am I a victim of my circumstance?
Omoluabi ti bo s'owo aye
And now, I'm feeling like I don lost my way
I be "child of the world"
I don become a child of the world
I be child of the world
I don become a child of the world
I be Child of the World
I don become a child of the world
I be Child of the World
(Uhn) I don become a child of the world
Yeah
She don dey look for that thing
She dey resist before
She never had a Daddy figure
So she need the love
Uncle Peter don create beast
He can't tame the stuff
She like make e rough
She can't have enough
She met some ladies wey go like rub shoulder
On some quick business
With a high turn over
Say if you ride "stick", you go ride 'Range Rover'
Aristo PLC, shey you wan be Stakeholder
Now with Sugar Daddy-loving everyday
She don dey get the pay
If you get the dollar spend the pay, no dey negotiate
She's in deep, her whole life don deteriorate
Many "belle" she don get, she don terminate
Queen "Runs girl", she no get any competition
Gomina, Senator, she's giving every politician
Somebody tell am say the consequences no dey likely
Until she tested positive to HIV
Am I a fool?
Shey I don go astray?
Am I a victim of my circumstance?
Omoluabi ti bo s'owo aye
And now, I'm feeling like I don lost my way
Am I a fool?
Shey I don go astray?
Am I a victim of my circumstance?
Omoluabi ti bo s'owo aye
And now, I'm feeling like I don lost my way
I'm a child of the world
I don become a child of the world
I be child of the world
I don become a child of the world
I be child of the world
I don become a child of the world
I be child of the world
I don become a child of the world
She promised not to disappoint
I guess she broke her vow
She let herself go
She let Mummy down
But she go fight to defeat that depression
As long as she's alive she can still find redemption
She's getting people sensitized about the virus
She's now hoping that her story might inspire us
Don't be like me, help me tell the young ones
Don't come to realize it after you're long gone
Please, don't be a fool now
Don't go astray
Don't be a victim of your circumstance
Omoluabi, ma bo s'owo aye
I didn't know when I lost my way
Please, don't be a fool
Don't go astray
Don't be a victim of your circumstance
Omoluabi ma bo s'owo aye, please
I didn't know when I lost my way
I'm a Child of the World
I just became a child of the world
I be Child of the World
I don become a child of the world
Child of the World
I just became a child of the world
Child of the world
I don become a child of the world ( lyrics copied from https://www.musixmatch.com/ )

STOPBeautiful presentation @iyedrumz007
Your voice sublime so much to the song as though it was Falz presenting the song..
This song is full of message to the younger generation, there is still more to life no matter the condition life throws us into. Most times we just become victims. It's not easy to withhold the pain and some persons give it up. Well, we've never been to hell so we really can't tell actually what the devil looks like so let's not judge those victims.. I hope every soul that has lost it to terrible circumstances regain back hope and strength to push life farther..
Thank you for this wonderful piece Bro...
