A lot of people I suppose can identify with this music. This song is about someone who comes from an underprivileged background, but hopes to be somebody some day. Hence the name Bobo pain (tough old cookie)
Basiclly his saying that he was born poor and his kinda use to being poor,but his trying to succeed and one day he will and the whole world we know that he was born poor and he didnt give up until he makes it.Hope that hepls
@africanchild001 Am a Nigerian guy in uk i had a sierra leone girl friend who i loved so much but she left me because i was still searching for job...great song
Man, You are one of the most talent Sierra Leone Artist. Keep up the great job. Anytime i listern to Emmerson, I get motivated! I live in Los Angeles California and me nah bobo pain. Hey guys add me on Facebook, Daramy84@gmail.com
He's singing about the struggle of being born into poverty and striving to get out of it - "Bobo Pain" = Someone who's accustomed to pain and suffering!!

@sexyhazel35 Borbor pain is a someone who grew up with sufferings most or all of his life time. Especially having come from a very poor background or being raised by extended family members and lacked or refused the basic things children should get in their up-bringing. (The pain in up-bringing ) Borbor means = Child
@nainbo1 You need make some person slap you hard. From Cameroon and you like this stupid music with all the wonderful variety from Cameroon? This song, like ALL other Sierra Leonean music is pure rubbish. No creativity. Lacking originality or even sense. Idiot songs from Sierra Leone.
@grazzellian agree with you 1000 percent. Sierra leone artists are shitttt. the people accepts what comes as long as its their own blackie boy on the mike. they copy cat a lot too from the west. ass holes they are ruining their own country with their rotten vibes.
lol you are SL?? what is that supposed to mean? you mean you are in SL I was there too lived there for 3 years, I;m back in America now. Still love this song though

Emmerson sings in KRIO,lingo in Sierra Leone, a form of broken English.
Emmerson relates trials, travails of suffering folks in that African nation. You overseas, to appreciate the lyrics.
Eg. :" We who are not rich-born have a raw deal but we still hope for the best... "
That is opening.... Emmerson at the end stresses hard work, as he dercries the short-change from 'the powers-that-be.'
bi-Lingual. cheers!
