YAM PORRIDGE (feat. Tiwa Savage)

[Intro]

Food don ready o

You wan chop? Oya, come

Come, you hear?

How studies today?

[Verse 1: Knucks]

She spent ample of time with a lad in her side

Tryna get a recipe, maybe add little spice

Mama said, "It's nice," and her eyes welled up

As her late pops ended up crossin' her mind

It's nuts, she was nine, the last at the time

And she had to leave school, the fees stopped when he died

The last mеmory that really come to her mind

Was thе way that he always praised her for her rice

Sixteen, now she cookin' up to provide

She was in the streets sellin' puff-puff on the side

Hustle and grind, she could cook any dish

Nna, look, see, bushmeat, shebi fish?

But nothin' on the list hit like the yam porridge

Bitin' their lip when they try that yam porridge

She think her pops made the better pot, if she's honest

He taught her, "Never make it too hot," and she promised

[Chorus: Tiwa Savage]

Anything you want, I'm here

Full confidence, no fear

Enemies scatter (Scatter o)

Enemies scatter (Scatter o)

No other love compare

Break bread, and we go share

While the enemies scatter (Scatter)

Enemies scatter (Scatter o)

[Verse 2: Knucks]

She had a very young portion of Hell

And now her mom's gone, she an orphan as well

Been twenty years, she got a daughter herself

Everyday, prayin' that the Lord would prevail

Husband was in demand doin' carpentry

They make it farther, we crafted so masterfully

Felt like just to get him by, they had to part the sea

But he never had to starve for the part between

She was doin' part-time at a school in the week

Done a couple meals that she used on the street

She gave extra food to the yutes that were meek

And her friend's yute, too, who she knew overseas

But even staff wanna taste the yam porridge

Love in her heart when she made the yam porridge

Said, "I'm grateful for what I got, to be honest"

The bangin' of the spoon and the pot give her solace

[Chorus: Tiwa Savage]

Anything you want, I'm here

Full confidence, no fear

Enemies scatter (Scatter o)

Enemies scatter (Scatter o)

No other love compare

Break bread, and we go share

While the enemies scatter (Scatter)

Enemies scatter (Scatter o)

[Verse 3: Knucks]

Yet another couple decades gone

She in a black garb with her husband's marge there sayin', "Stay strong"

Feels like her hardship's an everyday song

Just a daughter to sharpen that agape bond

Six months and the only girl's on whirl

Then another few and she caught somethin', too

Seen worse but was nothin' more than a flu

But without her work money, they were mortally doomed

She thought if it truly would end this way

Just then, an old friend came with a message

The student that was her friend's yute at her school had just sent money through for the way the she blessed him

How on Earth could he remember? (Yam porridge)

The little boy, I used to send her (Yam porridge)

And if she still wonders, I'll answer her now

Was the love that she showed little Knucks as a child

[Chorus: Tiwa Savage]

I'm here, no fear

(Scatter o, scatter o)

Compare, we go share

(Scatter, scatter o)

[Outro]

Afam, did you know that Isiagu is a leopard and not the lion?

It's true, that's what Mommy told me

When you go back to London, don't forget me o

Send me one of your beats, me, too, I want to become a rapper

Afam, I'm thirsty

Let's go home, Mommy will be waiting for us
