Voice Note To My Daughter

Lyrics

Verse 1
Nicole, my baby, you dey?
Na your papa, I dey talk from far away
Traffic, hustle, Lagos no dey rest
But na your picture dey my wallet, close to my chest

Every small girl wey I see, I dey reason you
How you go laugh, how you go run come hug me too
Your mama say you dey ask, "Where my daddy be?"
I dey grind for your future, make you no vex for me (abeg)

Chorus
This is my voice note to my daughter
Can you feel my heart across the water?
Nicole Elohor, I am on my way
Every single prayer keeps me sane each day

This is my voice note to my angel
Promise I will turn this distant pain to gentle
When I hold you close, I will never let go
Nicole Elohor, I just need you to know

Verse 2
Five years small, but your name big for my mouth
I dey tell anybody wey gree sit down hear me out
I fit miss flight, miss show, miss pay
But I no fit miss your birthday day

I dey save small-small, stack am like block
So you go fit go school, you no go dey stuck
If I quiet sometimes, no mean say I don run
Na so man dey fight battles wey you never see, my son… my girl (chai)

Chorus
This is my voice note to my daughter
Can you feel my heart across the water?
Nicole Elohor, I am on my way
Every single prayer keeps me sane each day

This is my voice note to my angel
Promise I will turn this distant pain to gentle
When I hold you close, I will never let go
Nicole Elohor, I just need you to know

Bridge
When you dance, just know I’m dancing too (oh yeah)
Every little spin, I’m right there with you
If you ever wonder where your daddy’s gone
I’m in every story that your name falls on

Chorus
This is my voice note to my daughter
Can you feel my heart across the water?
Nicole Elohor, I am on my way
Every single prayer keeps me sane each day

This is my voice note to my angel
Promise I will turn this distant pain to gentle
When I hold you close, I will never let go
Nicole Elohor, I just need you to know (yeah)
