Na grace dey hold us every time 🎶

[Verse 1 – Senior Emperor – Key C, Deep Voice, Bass]
🎤 "Senior Emperor!"
I be the fire for the frontline,
I dey move like lion wey no get time.
From roadside we dey plan empire,
No food, no hope, but we still inspire.
Back then, dem mock, dem no send,
Now dem dey call, dem wan blend.
“Ey bro, how far?” – Too late bro,
We dey cash out now, e shock dem oh!
🎤 (UK Accent)
“You see, fam, I told you. We ain't playing out here, it's real hustle ting. From gutter to glory, believe that!”

[Verse 2 – VDB – Key F]
🎤 "V-D-B!"
I dey write code for midnight,
Street light na my only guide.
We dey suffer but we still dey learn,
Now client dey knock like rain.
Na small phone I take dey design,
Now na MacBook dey shine.
Invest for the grind, no dey whine,
E shock dem how I redefine!

[Verse 3 – Watermelon – Key C Sharp (slightly high)
🎤 "Watermelon!"
For this life, na plan e dey work,
I dey carry hustle like na church.
Dem dey chill, we dey push,
Small by small we dey form bush.
Street no dey smile, na facts,
But we no dey depend on luck.
Facebook ads we dey boost,
Now we dey pop champagne for toast!

[Verse 4 – Emperor’l Hyacino – Key F Normal]
🎤 "Hyacino!"
I start from ground zero,
Now na me dey advise hero.
For this street, you need ego,
but still dey humble for your people.
I dey draw blueprint for dream,
From small post, we build team.
Na consistency kill the doubt,
Now na our name dey shout!

[Chorus – Metro-C – Key G, Anthemic vibe]
🎶 "Metro-C pon the chorus!"
Street no be for lazy man ohhh
We dey bleed, we dey sweat, we dey stand tall
From no shoes to designer plans
See the boys now, we dey raise standard
No be magic, na grace and plan
No be jazz, na vision and hand
We dey grind, no dey wait for luck
This hustle dey pay, e don shock!

[Verse 5 – Metro-C – Key G continues]
🎤 "Metro-C!"
I dey wake up early like soldier,
Life no sweet but I be the loader.
Back then, man dey chop garri,
Now na steak with sweet palm wine.
I dey drop hook, dey catch client,
Strategy clean, no be defiant.
We dey run ad like campaign,
From douala to Buea, dem sabi name.

We be proof say the streets fit birth kings.
