My father taught me that to be a man

Was to choose between a smile and a smirk

To love with a smack

Have one pose for all pictures

Man must to shark

He said you're the head of the home

Don't let your neck 

Remove you from the throne

I thought a family wasn't a one man show

My son, afó adó owúden

My father taught me that to be a man

You must let her know who's King

Show the world your Queen

But gift her a few shackles at home

You must have her at will

And never stop paying the bills

My son, afó adó owúden

My father taught me that to be a man

Is to save everyone first and later your self

Become one with your struggle

And never ask a woman for help

A man must have rough palms

Walk boldly and have broad chests

Don't you ever cry out, stay silent, 

and be proud of your mask

My son, afó adó owúden

My father taught me that to be a man

You must never run away from a fight

Don't start the fight but end them

He believed in the book and the fist

If you can't beat them all at once

Beat them one by one

Na me born you, I be strong man

He taught me to pick my poison

Because something must kill a man

My son, afó adó owúden

Before you judge us,

Know we are our father's sons

We're nothing more than flowers with thorns

Ndó owúden
