I made mistakes I couldn't change

Brought in God's way

But I know I switch my lane

I did listen to all they said but deep down that I disobeyed

My mama said

Omo dakun

When you grow

Please don't go astray

My mama yelled

Omo mi wambi

I no wan Dey see that boy again for our street na bad example

No one want to associate with him for our street na bad example

No one wants to see their son with him

Oh ah

Don't be a bad example

Ah

Don't be a bad example

Eh eh

Don't be a bad example

Don't be a bad example

Like music festival I be rolling loud now

Take a drag pass it zoning out now

Looking at me I be going out now

At midnights time that you don't want I be balling out now

Now I'm the pressure on my peers

I've been drinking moti pierce

Looking at your eyes I can see your fears now

Oh why

Turned to the boy you don't want

Why

Oh why ah

Don't be a bad example

Ah

Don't be a bad example

Eh eh

Don't be a bad example

Don't be a bad example

I'm now a bad example

I'm a bad example

I've been doing the things I shouldn't do

All the things you told me

My mama said

Omo dakun

When you grow

Please don't go astray

My mama yelled

Omo mi wambi

I no wan Dey see that boy again for our street na bad example

No one want to associate with him for our street na bad example

No one wants to see their son with him

Oh ah
