Life no de easy
Ben struggled to stay in school and his poor parents had little but nothing to make sure that he stayed in school; education they say is the key to success and every parent desires sound education for their kids. However, not every parent has what it takes to keep a child in school, to get a child basic education in a country such as ours requires a lot of effort and sacrifice from both parents and their wards.
While so many families eventually make it, some don’t and this trend is simply one of such cases because despite the fact that Ben fell short of his desire to gain education, he gained something else with the talent bestowed on him by God our supreme master.
So many of us will identify with the above in one way or the other so if you are one of those then sit tight and enjoy yourself because this is dedicate to you

Verse 1:
Life no dey easy
But you need to keep moving
Going to school no dey easy
No money to make it up for me
I no born with a golden spoon
Mother hits the corner to sustain
Father gives his all so i learned to support
Because education is the key to success
But no money to keep me on with school
Chorus:
Never give up you can be what you want to be
All you need to do is to be focused
There will be days you will face challenges
And people you hoped on disappoint you
But do not give up, believe in your dream
Never give up, yea yea, never give up
Hook-
The hard times are meant to strengthen you

And give your education everything because the end justifies the means
Verse 2:
Life no dey easy
But when there is life there is hope
As you make your own bed

And life pours it’s dirt at you
Do not settle for the least, be positive because
Mother hits the corner to sustain
Father gives his all so learn to support
Chorus:
Never give up you can be what you want to be
All you need to do is to be focused
There will be days you will face challenges
And people you hoped on disappoint you
But do not give up, believe in your dream
Never give up, yea yea, never give up
Hook-
There are so many challenges and so many changes to make
But no matter how hard it seems, believe in yourself
Keep your head headed in the right direction

And in all you do, remember that education is the key
So whatever you do to scale through school is for your benefit
Verse 3:
Mother hits the corner to sustain
Father gives his all so i learned to support
People laughed at me when i dey hustle to get my school fees
But them no no say kaki no be leather

And now dem dey see me as i dey shine
Those way think say i no go grow dey watch me now as i don blow
Never give up on yourself, keep headed on the right direction

Author’ remark
For everything you loose, you gained something else and for everything you gained, you lost something else, it all depends on your outlook to life because as of Ben, he lost his education but gained success with his talent and is today, one of most talked about and successful musician in the country.
