Wish me a happy birthday 🎂
It’s been God 🙌

“1997 I was born with pain
My moms and my pops pass it down to me
I’m talkin’ about permanent, physical suffering

“And through the years that pain became my friend; sedated
With strong pain reliefs as little kid
I built a tolerance for drugs, addicted to the medicine

“It made me cold-hearted, I won’t play sports
I barely joke or play games, take it how you want
“My handicapped took its toll on my sanity, A nigga is depressed

“Happy birthday oghenevwegba Dafe may God bless you!! WARRIOR 👊
