HOLES

she wailed profusely because of her mother's demise
No distinct and sweet voice to call her Anike again
Despite all the comfort, the tears keeps rolling
Now there's a hole in the heart no one can fill

Emeka hustled hard in Lagos to become wealthy
Toiled up and down Aspanda and Alaba market
Made money, traveling home december to surprise his family
Lost his life to a fatal accident along Benin Ore
Now there's a hole in the heart no one can fill

He said "i love you"
she said "my heart is fragile, please don't hurt me"
They dated for years and they loved each other
She did series of abortions for him
He woke up one morning and walked away
Now there's a hole in the heart no one can fill

I know a woman with kids around her ankles and a baby on her lap
She said one day her husband went to get a paper and the mother fucker never came back
Mortgage to pay and four kids to raise, keeping the wolf from the door
Now there's a hole in the heart no one can fill

He thought it wise by sending money to his friend from abroad
Let him help in building his dream house for him to relocate in due time
But his friend lavish the money and absconds 
Now there's a hole in the heart no one can fill

They isolated their children from poor kids
Gave them all the best things of life
Their son grew up to become insatiable
Joins cult in his higher institution but was murdered in a cult clash
Now there's a hole in the heart no one can fill

He pleaded with everyone he knew to come to his rescue
His mother has been sick for days now and no fund to commence treatment
Everyone he ran to gave him audio money
Last night, his mother breathe her last
Now there's a hole in the heart no one can fill

He saw the beach washing away the poor girl
She screams in terror but no rescue diver in sight
Sly dived into the water to rescue the girl 
but lost his life in his attempt of humanity
Now there's a hole in the heart no one can fill

We've got holes in our heart
We've got holes in our lives
Yeah we've got holes, we've got holes
But we carry on
