Lyrics[]
[Verse 1 ]
She used to hang around the corner
she always looking at me
everybody wondered
why her clothes were always dirty
I approached her
I came a little closer
she said that her life is bad and bitter
don't bother
she's coming from a broken home
she ain't gat no money
Lord save her soul
then she said to me
(Chorus)
I don't care bout your money
I don't care where you come from
Whether Naija, United States or na London
What I really really want is a home
Cuz I ain't gat no mother
I ain't gat no father
I'm an orphan, ye
she said she's an orphan, ye
she said she's an orphan, yeah
uh, cos everyday she's struggling
she be hustling
day and night
I don't think you know how it feels
when you're an orphan yeah
[Verse 2]
Yo! she needs more than miracles to stop the pain
but she's scared it might come again
she gat no place to go
Uncles took her home
so she had to run away
so so beautiful
it's a story I gat to listen to
additional, her parents she be missing too
her parents were killed, shot
before she finished school
see, me I dey vex every time wey
when you wan rise
dem go wan stop your shine eh
wanted to be a doctor
to be the finest
have a family and a good life, Kanye
West, yes she went
she ain't looking back
no, she ain't minding her steps
then she said to me
"Slim, this my year
I'mma come again like an idea"
(Chorus)
I don't care about your money
I don't care where you come from
whether Naija, United States or na London
what I really really want is a home
cuz I ain't gat no mother
I ain't gat no father
I'm an orphan, ye
she said she's an orphan, ye
she said she's an orphan, yeah
uh, cos everyday she's struggling
she be hustling
day and night
I don't think you know how it feels
when you're an orphan yeah
