Palm Trees (Interlude) Lyrics by LADIPOE
My life changed when the midwife called
I got a baby on the way barely made it cos I’m still on tour
She said fuck a c-section. I go push by force
So I ran up the Cheque
Got her the Cartier
That’s a push present
Cos it carry weight
The day he came
Looking perfect in every way
Is when I understood the sacrifice only a mum could make
Some things are hard to say
I have questions in these moments that I don’t ask
Did you hate me cos I had to leave to make cash
I push limits and I know you have to push back
These tales by moonlight
The stories we’ll be telling our kids as they arrive
It’s all a question of time I just hate that it flies
Through season and climate change love must survive
Mumsi still harbours thoughts of me going to Harvard
Carving a space between entertainer and father
Speaking of father my dad can testify
God has a way of closing doors just to open eyes
Yeah
I’m so grateful you survived
Talk about living proof that there’s more to life
Words can’t immortalise
But I stubborn so I try with the songs I write
I used to step into your shoes and they were oversized
Now we reminisce on whiskey when it’s over ice
Yeah, a father taught his son that a man is much more than what he provides
Remember that
In the back of the suburban
Who dey blow the herb and
Money over everything but family and purpose
I don’t even know why I just know it’s worth it
I just know it’s worth it
