GIVE ME A BOY lyrics

VERSE:
How soon Eliza’s father forgot the time he used to say
Oh lolo please give me a boy
He said all that because he never thought a girl could be a leader
Oh lolo please give me a boy

CHORUS:
Give me a boy that will answer Obi
Give me a boy that will take over my seat
Give me a boy, can’t you see I’m getting old
I don’t care how you’re gonna do that just give me a boy

VERSE 2:
That’s long ago but people still say it these days in many places they say
Oh honey please give me a boy
I wonder how one of two things that one can’t do without the other is better that they say
Oh honey please give me a boy

CHORUS:
Give me a boy that will answer my prince
Give me a boy that will take over my biz
Give me a boy, can’t you see I’m getting old
I don’t care how you’re gonna do that just give me a boy

SPOKEN WORDS:
Now, let's face it:
Isn't a "gender superiority" mentality in this time and age appears ridic?
So, to you, the "give me a son" man of this era:
Whose input do you think determins a gender?
What is even wrong with a female gender, I dare to ask?
Is it that you think a girl-child can't grow to be a leader?
Is there any career path nowadays that you don't see a female professional?
What actually characterize this your fear that is trying hard to give you a heart attack?
When you should rather be greatful to God for making you a father to a daughter or daughters
And pray for and raise them the best way you can, for each of them to stand a chance in life to be a great woman
CHORUS:
Give me a boy that will answer Obi
Give me a boy that will take over my seat
Give me a boy, can’t you see I’m getting old
I don’t care how you’re gonna do that just give me a boy

CHORUS:
Give me a boy that will answer my prince
Give me a boy that will take over my biz
Give me a boy, can’t you see I’m getting old
I don’t care how you’re gonna do that just give me a boy...
