Paapa - Now That I'm Here lyrics

[Paapa] Do my words make you bitter? do they make you cry? do they make you better? do they make you try? just a little harder to learn a little more than what you learned before [Hook] I want you to hear the truth crystal clear now that I'm here give me your ear now that I'm here [Verse : Paapa] took trips to my home in a textbook saw pictures someone from the west took I hate to break it you but you haven't had the best look I know what you know I've seen what you've seen but now that I'm here be hungry for truth and thirsty for understanding confusion is like falling, conviction is landing [Hook] I want you to hear the truth crystal clear now that I'm here give me your ear [Bridge] my story is my own my story is my own my story is my own my story is my own to tell [Verse 2 : Jayso] This is my home, yes, I'm in my zone, let's break and talk about perception and what is known facts they got it wrong, they got it wrong Make I tell you the truth cause the story they telling you is wrong all they showing is slums, but they have slums too poverty and crime don't they have some too? I mean e dey bore the way dem dey see we for there as if we be animals for here, yea I know say some people dey struggle, truth be told but look below the surface and you will know that everything ain't everything they telling you on screens the beauty of our continent, hospitable human beings these Africans are black and proud with dreams like you come see it for yourself you will see, like you we have our good and bad, so don't just show the bad and make it look like that's we have cause e dey bore, e dey bore waah Make I tell my own story Chale Paapa take em to church Fa ɔmo kɔ asɔre [Paapa] I want you to hear the truth crystal clear now that I'm here give me your ear
