Lyrics
Description
Shey you know say one day you go cry?
Na joy go burst ya eye — e go land like surprise.
Dem laugh you when you trek, call you guy wey no wise,
Now dem dey beg ride, you dey cruise for disguise.
Hustle no sweet, but e dey pay for night,
Na why I dey grind even when dem say make I rest small — I dey fight.
Dem no dey believe till your chain don dey shine,
Dem go form love when e late — na fake sign.
Water wey dem reject, don turn wine today,
That borehole suffer don build estate for Lekki way.
E get the time I dey beg, dem dey bone face,
Now dem dey find me for show, dem wan dey my space.
See, nobody dey clap when carpenter dey measure,
Na when chair done set finish, everybody go treasure.
So I dey cut my wood with tears, I dey nail with pain,
But tomorrow dey near — I go dance for rain.
E shock you say I smile inside pain like say e sweet?
E no easy, I dey learn my lesson from street.
Dem say money no dey, but me I dey plan,
I dey hustle for my future, I dey sow my own land.
E get one girl wey bounce me like rubber,
Now she dey cry say she miss wetin I offer.
But time no dey reverse — na forward we dey go,
If you no get light, you go dey fear shadow.
I don chop insult like gala,
Dem call me failure, say my dream na drama.
But I dey work, I dey pray, I no dey slack,
Today na pepper soup, but tomorrow — jollof pack!
Shey you sabi say success dey disguise as wahala?
E go first beat you like mama wey vex, before e hug you like father.
So no fear, if e hard today, just know say,
You go cry one day — but e go be tears of joy!
