[Intro]
se I no go pick up your call if billing dey involve
if billing is too much you no go see me anymore
(soft calypso guitar skank, light hi-hat — let the beat breathe)
[Verse 1]
Phone dey ring, palm dey hot but ledger tight
Mama dey call, cousin dey shout, but balance no feel right
If I smile, no mean say I get, I dey guard what I keep
Pombo dey fly for skyline, but I no wake for empty sleep
if am stinging no be my fault na wetting tinubu cause
oya am stingy I no dey give shishi.
no like stress no stress aunty Veronica.
(steady bassline, syncopated rim clicks)
[Pre-Chorus] (sparse — one or two instruments)
Four lines small, make body prepare
We no gas, we conserve, we dey breathe air
Bill heavy? we sidestep — keep the vibe intact
Then we lift up, then we snap — crowd react
[Chorus] (call-and-response, chantable)
Life no hard — oya flex (life no hard)
Life no hard — oya flex (life no hard)
Hands up, chest high, feel the bass tick (no stress!)
se. life no hard adebisi omooba on the mix
(Horn stab on every "life no hard", backing chant: "No stress! No wahala!")
[Verse 2]
Money dey come, money dey go — like rain on zinc roof
I count small, I spend small, I hustle with proof
Market run, motor chop, I deliver with two hands
I dey sell akara for lane, I dey dreams of foreign plans
Phone light show, caller ID say unknown
If billing heavy, my tempo slow — I protect my throne
I dey hustle, I dey grind
But I hold my peace, no mind
(percussive breakdown with shakers, muted guitar skank)
[Pre-Chorus] (build)
Stack small wins, celebrate the small spark
Keep your circle tight, keep your light in the dark
No yawa, no gbege — take the lane slow
Then lift the chorus, let the people know
[Chorus] (bigger, layered)
Life no hard — oya flex (life no hard)
Life no hard — oya flex (life no hard)
Hands up, chest high, feel the bass tick (no stress!)
se. life no hard adebisi omooba on the mix
(Backing chants: "No stress!" layered under the hook; horn stabs on the two pushes)
[Bridge] (emotional pivot — half-spoken, half-sung)
Oya aunty Veronica, calm your mind, make we laugh small
Sometimes I dey stingy because past bills dey call
I no swear I too hard — I just learn how to shield
Vulnerability for corner, but still I yield the field
(soft synth pad, single guitar lick, then swell)
[Breakdown] (percussive — crowd chant)
No stress! No wahala!
No stress! No wahala!
(2-bar percussive drop — congas & handclaps, then horn lifts back in)
[Final Chorus] (full production, gang vocals)
Life no hard — oya flex (life no hard)
Life no hard — oya flex (life no hard)
Hands up, chest high, feel the bass tick (No stress! No wahala!)
se. life no hard adebisi omooba on the mix
(Horns, layered ad-libs, chant: "No stress!" echoes)
[Outro]
se I no go pick up your call if billing dey involve
if billing is too much you no go see me anymore
oya am stingy I no dey give shishi.
no like stress no stress aunty Veronica.
(Fade with repeated chant: "Life no hard" — percussion trickles out, horn last stab)
