Lyrics
Description
[Intro – soft flute, Tiv log drums, distant trumpet harmonies; like a lullaby from ancestors]
Spoken, breathy:
"Dem no go believe say na same boy wey trek Apo to Utako for just 2k, now dey enter jet for Berlin..."
"I be dust wey turn star, no be by luck—na scars."
---
[Verse 1 – Soft, haunting melodies with storytelling rhythm]
I remember Garki sun burn my face,
Carry sack from Lugbe to Maitama place,
Mabushi know me, I beg for grace,
For Dakwo corner, life dey chase.
Eight months, one meal – that hard rice,
Blood on shirt, tears blend with sacrifice,
My eye no see Amaka since she japa,
But I still dey push, no pause, no wahala.
They laugh when I dey mix garri with zobo,
Now dem post me for caption with “go bro!”
My story no fit fake,
I dey write am for heart, line by ache.
---
[Chorus – Prayerful, viral hook; soul chant Afro-pop switch]
Oh Lord, bless me and THE ASHIRUS,
Dem wipe my tears, even when I dey curious.
I’m sorry, I was a kid, too lost to see,
Now I dey pray for long life, on bended knee.
We go jaiye for Lisbon breeze,
To every hustler—hold your keys.
Dust to crown, we dey rise so free,
And when I sing, na the streets dey speak.
---
[Verse 2 – Beat switches to palmwine highlife with Afro-trap bounce]
From Zone 6 to Freedom Park,
I carry dreams wey dey spark in dark,
Apo to Utako—just for 2k,
Sweat like river, body dey bake.
Dem know my slippers for Banex gate,
Now I dey wear sneakers fly like fate,
From Abuja bus down to Accra street,
I sell wristbands just to get receipt.
---
[Bridge – slow down, ambient synth with soft Tiv chorus humming]
To the ones wey dey cry for mama hut,
To the boys wey dey grind with zero cut,
Dem go laugh first before them clap,
But hold your head—joy dey trap.
---
[Chorus – Repeat with more harmonies, female backing vocals drifting in]
Oh Lord, bless me and THE ASHIRUS,
They gave me hope when I lost my compass.
I’m sorry, I was just a kid in fight,
Now I dey pray with voice and light.
We go jaiye for Lisbon shore,
No more running from backdoor.
every pain turn lyric for life,and this song go echo beyond mic
---
[Outro – melting trumpet solo, children in background softly echoing lines:]
"No light, but we shine..."
"No silver spoon, still dine..."
"Trenches gave us spine..."
fade out with Tiv log drum rhythm melting into soft flute reprises.
