If they don't wanna call my name If they don't think I'm beautiful If they don't wanna see my face Oh I'm the little boy, the one who's been told to shut up Many voices in my head telling me I can't look ahead And it's making me sick And I'm tired of being weak But I'll believe in myself, nobody's cares about that I'll speak well of myself, nobody's gonna do that And all I ever want is to be me If they don't wanna call my name If they don't think that I'm beautiful If they don't wanna see my face Oh I'll buy me some Àkàrà I'll save the òróró I'll use it to pa'ra mi I'll call myself adúmáradán All my life, I've been told that Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder But so far, all that I've noticed Is that beauty lies, beauty lies As Northerners getting crucified As Easterners getting pushed aside Cos someone somewhere thinks they're not good in life Told their offspring these folks will never be nothing but a stupid tribe I could decide to believe these lies But I've looked inside, And I've seen the lines of my deepest scars I've realized these are similar to other folks getting victimized The only difference is they're spilling blood In my case I'm spilling tears, sweat, shame, and pain Born out of depression Always under the pressure Of making a good impression To appeal to senses, or else the weather is going to be full of terror They're going to tell me I don't look the part I'm not smooth and smart, I'm not good enough, I'm not beautiful That hurts me a lot But I keep it up With my different part And that's only because Ama look in the glass and tell me stand Ama look in the glass and tell me win Ama look in the glass and call me Grand If they don't wanna call my name If they don't think that I'm beautiful If they don't wanna see my face Oh They keep telling me I'll never be anything Only few believed I can ever be heard with this I can tell by the energy and manner they address me with Evidence is hell, yet it's never stressing me Many better days ahead of me I swear I'm prepared to be the best you'll ever seen I'm spreading the message so cleverly My steps will never cease From here to the Beverly hills And then till heaven bids me welcome dearest being Here's my vow, to the man in the mirror And to the one whose image I reflect like the mirror Hope it's same with you Hope you're getting bigger And even when you get taken down, hope you never give up, with love Cos I cease to be an underdog The day I came under God If they don't wanna call my name If they don't think that I'm beautiful If they don't wanna see my face Oh I'll buy me some Àkàrà I'll save the òróró I'll use it to pa'ra mi I'll call myself adúmáradán Ọmọ eléyìnkùlé àdéwúre Ọmọ ọ̀bọ ṣòkòtò bí ẹni ìlú ń sìn Ọmọ Ọwá, ọmọ ọwà, ọmọ wàoro nílé ọlá Afínjú ọmọ tí ń gbà'dọ̀bálẹ̀ àwọn tó bi l'ọ́mọ
