[Intro — field sounds: keke bell, market chatter, talking drum fade in]
Keke bell — ting ting — (ah!)
Market call: "Suya! Ewa! Garri!" (ha!)
Oluwa gba wa — omo mi, come sing
[Talking-drum fill]
[Verse 1]
Sunrise on Surulere, brake lights blink
Bukola Akintayo wipes sweat, counts the naira, thinks
Fifty, hundred — pocket small but hope runs long
Keke bell sings her morning money song
Passengers: vendor with yam, student with a dream
Driver with a secret laugh, Lagos steam at the seam
AduolaOluwa tying hair, MoromolaOluwa humming low
Mama says: "Ise n' gba, omo mi — we steady go"
(Who is she?) — "Bukola!" (What she do?) — "She hustles true!")
[Pre-Chorus — call and response]
She rides — (We ride!)
She fights — (We fight!)
Traffic light red, then green — life gives and takes
[Percussion hit, short talking-drum cadence]
[Chorus — punchy refrain, chant/call-back]
Lady Gogo
Hustle on
Omo mi, rise
Ise n' gba
(Backing: Oluwa gba wa!)
[Verse 2]
From Ojuelegba to Marina, horns like drums
Okada shout, keke bell, market women hum
Balogun cries the prices loud — naira jingles, small change
Lekki Toll Gate sunset, glow on iron and range
She hears kids laugh, she remembers school fees due
MoromolaOluwa holds hope, AduolaOluwa keeps the view
Every passenger a story, every fare a faith-sown seed
Bukola steers through puddles — city grit, city speed
(Ad-libs: "Eyin omo!" — "E go shine!")
[Chorus — variation for lift]
Lady Gogo (ah!)
Hustle on (aye!)
Omo mi, rise (omo mi)
Ise n' gba — we strong
(Backing shout: "Oluwa gba wa!" / call-and-response: "Bukola! Bukola!")
[Bridge — turning point; small victory then a hard truth]
[Talking-drum solo, percussion pulls back]
One Friday, bell rings full, pockets feel the sun
She pays the school fees — AduolaOluwa’s face done
Tears mix with oil on her hands — the hard truth speaks
There are days with empty fares, nights that taste weak
But this morning a neighbor came with a little loan
A prayer from street to mosque, the city answers, "You not alone"
(Soft vocal: "Oluwa, we thank you")
[Drop — instruments fall out to a single rim click]
[Breakdown — intimate, daughters sing]
AduolaOluwa: "Mama, we go higher"
MoromolaOluwa: "We go sing by fire"
Bukola hums: "Ise n' gba — I carry you two"
[Soft keke bell — a single ping]
[Final Chorus — full band, big call-and-response, layered harmonies]
Lady Gogo! (Lady Gogo!)
Hustle on! (Hustle on!)
Omo mi, rise! (Omo mi!)
Ise n' gba — we strong! (We strong!)
(Backing: "Oluwa gba wa! Oluwa gba wa!" — talking-drum fills, shouts)
[Outro — affirmation, production cues]
Bukola Akintayo — name on the street
Two daughters, two lights — AduolaOluwa, MoromolaOluwa keep the beat
Surulere to Marina, Ojuelegba to Lekki Toll in sight
Lagos state heart — keke bell, drum, and neon night
[Percussion hits, short talking-drum outro, keke bell fades]
Oluwa gba wa — ahh
Lady Gogo, Lagos queen, keep riding on
[End with a soft keke bell echo and crowd call: "Bukola! Bukola!"]
