Give Me Back My Girl

This is  a song written in 1997. Unfortunately, I don't have the full lyrics yet but I reconstructed it after listening to this beat from Lee Rapmans, the Thousand-Word-Per-Minute-Rapper. In the meantime, here is the lyrics as delivered:
There must have been a mummy and a daddy somewhere
And though I am an orphan I heard one did care

I give my first thanks to society
Who brought me up like their own property
For a thug like me was a liability
It took their willpower to give me bread and tea
Then thanks to my mother--Oh, the maternity!
I didn't know you but felt your hospitality
For nine whole months you kept my pregnancy
God bless you soul whereever you be

There must have been a mummy and a daddy somewhere
And though I am an orphan I head one did care

I appreciate you dad wey no one else had
If you ran away from mum, that was bad

Orphan song

Recently, influencers are feeling free to talk spirituality/religion. There might be something happening and they should not be judged.
