[Verse 1]
Why do people keep saying
What they don't really mean?
Like when they tell you say "I'm sorry"
They only really want you to forget (forget, forget)
Making empty promises
That they can not fulfill
Like when it comes to really watching your back
They just can't go for life
What is it I'm saying
That you do not understand? (eh)
Are you part of the game
Or is it that you are just part of the plan?
Who should I believe in
Or should I just blank?
Like when they talk about a perfect world
I say it's not going to be in my generation
So right now how I feel inside
I'ma told you 'bout exactly how I am feeling, within
Right now I put the whole of my trust on only one being
And that is the Almighty
Holy Father, lay your hand upon me
And guide me, and protect me from all me enemies
[Chorus]
That's why I say, oh Papa, ooh
You are the one that I cannot mess with
I say, oh Papa, ooh
You are the one that give me what to eat
I say, oh Papa
Make me the man I be, and you stand me on me feet
And that is the reason
Why I am crying unto you right now
Oh papa eh, Eledumare
[Verse 2]
Why do people keep having
Evil intention?
Like when they tell you say I want to help you
They only really want you to owe them
Making lie-lie sacrifices
That don't mean a thing
'Cause when it comes to really saving your soul, they just can't go for that
What is it I'm saying
That you cannot comprehend?
Did you do it for the good of it
Or did you do it 'cause you wan go heaven?
Who should I believe in
Or should I just blank?
Like when they say a good turn deserves another
I said, it is always good to be good
Good to be good
Right now what I'm feeling inside
I'ma told you 'bout exactly how I am feeling, within
If I do for you, I don't really give a-
If you do back for me ye
'Cause my father, the Almighty
Him provide me with everything I need
And Him guide me, and protect me from all me enemies
[Chorus]
That's why I say, oh Papa, ooh
You are the one that I cannot mess with
I said, oh Papa, ooh
You are the one that give me what to eat
I said, oh Papa, eh eh
Make me the man I be and you stand me on me feet
And that is the reason
Why I am crying unto you right now
Oh Papa eh, Eledumare
[Bridge]
Eh-eh, oh Papa, eh-eh
You are the one that I cannot mess with
I said, oh Papa
You are the one that gives me what to eat
I said, oh Papa
You make me the man I be and you stand me on me feet
That is the reason
Why I am crying unto you right now
Oh Papa eh, Eledumare
Papa eh, Eledumare
Papa eh, Eledumare
Owachada eh eh
Owachada eh eh
Eh eh
[Outro]
Thank you God
Thank you Father
Thank you the Almighty one

Thank you
