letra de birds are silent - tonton raymond

[verse 1: tonton raymond]
many times i find myself wishing
that you could smell what i was cooking in my kitchen
cancer was the worst
though i know you were tough
i feel weak to think i didn’t have you long enough
the road has been long
i rarely know where i’m headed
i grew out the crown that you had me inherit
the hair looks nice
people often look twice
all the ladies get so jealous, they want scissors to just slice
i remember that morning as i got ready for school
you spent the previous night praying with your crew
you and mummy woji spent your last moments together
i knew i’d lose you though i hoped you’d get better
you rarely got upset with me but it was different that day
you were in such a hurry to see me go away
then i got back home and didn’t find you in your bed
house full of family like someone was about to wed
daddy wouldn’t talk to me, he spent the whole day busy
my cousins shielded me from the initial calamity
and the next day my aunty would break the news
i was 13, now i’m 30, time still ain’t healed the wounds
you were in so much pain, at least you get to rest
this is for all the memories we won’t make or express
your baby boy is grown but i still feel so alone
i wish we had smartphones before the lord called you home
[chorus: moses obi]
the birds are silent, the walls are screaming out in pain
so much pain
the birds are silent, the walls are screaming out in pain

[post-chorus: tonton raymond]
the birds don’t sing anymore, they’re silent
there’s so much blood on the floor, my body’s full of violence

[verse 2: tonton raymond]
many times i find myself wishing
this bottle of whiskey was between me and my father
he has his neat, i got rocks in my glass
we both drinking, it’s a present that we can reminisce the past
i look more like you with my beard grown
added some weight, no longer skinny like a chicken bone
i didn’t get the master’s degree that we thought i would
phd before 30, didn’t get that too
but i grew up quick
didn’t realise
you’d be gone in 2 years after my mother died
see i was happy… when you found love again
but that’s one extra person to feel your loss again
during ssce was when you’d leave me
too stubborn to fail, so i kept on succeeding
i passed the exam, just like you expected
worked through hurt, you won’t be disappointed
do you know my stepmom has never seen me cry
head high, didn’t shed a tear on the day you died
i had to be a man, because you weren’t there
now i’m all grown up still wishing you were here
life didn’t let you have a proper drink with me
had no father to see me off to university
as i stand here and pour libations in the sand
15 was too soon for you to let go of my hand
[chorus: moses obi]
the birds are silent, the walls are screaming out in pain
so much pain
the birds are silent, the walls are screaming out in pain

[post-chorus: tonton raymond]
the birds don’t sing anymore, they’re silent
there’s so much blood on the floor, my body’s full of violence
