[Intro]
Yeah, go, ah
[Verse 1]
Apple of her mothers eye, she be trophy daughter
Mommy 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
[Verse 2]
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 too dey brag
[Verse 3]
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
Ọmọ Jesu mummy know she love the gospel
[Verse 4]
But uncle peter agbaya alainitiju
One late night became wild in the sitting room
Uncle please stop, shh be silent
Uncle didn't stop till he broke the hymen
[PreChorus]
Am I a fool? Ṣe I don go astray?
Am I a victim of my circumstance?
Ọmọluabi ti bọ sọwọ aye
And now I'm feeling like I don lost my way
Am I a fool? Ṣe I don go astray?
Am I a victim of my circumstance?
Ọmọluabi ti bọ sọwọ aye
And now I'm feeling like I don lost my way

[Verse 5]
Yeah, she don dey look for the thing she dey resist before
She never had a daddy figure so she need the love
Uncle Peter don create a beast he can't tame the stuff
She like make e rough, she can't have enough
[Verse 6]
She met some ladies wey go like rub shoulder
On some quick business with a high turnover
Say if you ride the stick, you go ride Range Rover
Aristo PLC ṣe you wan be stakeholder
[Verse 7]
Now the sugar daddy loving everyday she don dey get the pay
If you get the dollar spend the cake no dey negotiate
She's in deep her whole life don deteriorate
Many belle she don get she don terminate
[Verse 8]
Queen runs girl, she no get any competition
Gomina, senator, she giving every politician
Somebody tell her say the consequences no dey likely
Until she tested positive to HIV
[PreChorus]
Am I a fool? Ṣe I don go astray?
Am I a victim of my circumstance?
Ọmọluabi ti bọ sọwọ aye
And now I'm feeling like I don lost my way
Am I a fool? Ṣe I don go astray?
Am I a victim of my circumstance?
Ọmọluabi ti bọ sọwọ aye
And now I'm feeling like I don lost my way
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
She's getting people sensitized about the virus
She 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
[PreChorus]
Please, don't be a fool now, don't go astray
Don't be a victim of your circumstance
Ọmọluabi ma bọ sọwọ 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
Ọmọluabi ma bọ sọwọ aye
Please, I didn't know when I lost my way
[Chorus]
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
