(Producer tag: "Focuswise on the beat!")
Yeah! Eh eh!

Umu obodo, we go rise! (Hustle nor be crime!)

Umu obodo, we go rise! (Hustle nor be crime!)
[Verse 1 – Chidibest Focuswise]
From Ogume roundabout to Lagos junction light,
I dey waka early, market stall till night (eh)
Mama talk say, "Nwanne, no lose your lane,"
I nod, I hustle, hot akara, warm bread in my hand (ooh)
Sell recharge, sell hope, small small we build dreams,
See okada pass, see keke, see the steam,
Boys for junction dey toast their luck, push cart and truck,
Some ride okada, some push truck — we no back out (no way)
[Pre-Chorus – Chidibest / Ad-libs]
E be like say street hard, but we no dey tire (no tire)
Faith and sweat dey set our fire — Chukwu go bless (Chukwu!)
Anyi ga-ebili, nwanne m, time dey near
No dey fear, no dey fear — we dey climb, we dey clear
[Chorus – Mechanic Boy & BM / Response]
Umu obodo, we go rise! (Hustle nor be crime!)
Umu obodo, we go rise! (Hustle nor be crime!)
Umu obodo! Ugwa Ogume! — yaah!
Umu obodo, we go rise! (Hustle nor be crime!)
[Verse 2 – Mechanic Boy]
Oil for my hand, grease on my shirt, I fix the line,
Mechanic Boy steady, I tighten bolt, I shine (shine)
No degree on my wall, but my hustle strong,
Motor park to motor park, nwanne, hear my song (eh eh)
Dem go look me small today, tomorrow I flex clean,
From broken starter to new ride, them go know my name,
Small small steps, sure pass big success — na plan,
Focuswise tell me, "Bro, hold ground, no scatter man." (no scatter)
[Bridge – BM (Bread Seller Bite) — ascending chant]
I sell warm bread for junction, no be shame oh — ah!
Every morning I pray, "Chukwu go bless my road" — eh!
Anyi ga-ebili, nwanne m, anyi ga-ebili — ooo!
Onye ga-enyere? Chukwu go answer — yaah!
[Chorus – All (Short & Memorable)]
Umu obodo, we go rise! (Hustle nor be crime!)
Umu obodo, we go rise! (Hustle nor be crime!)
Umu obodo! Ugwa Ogume! — eh eh
Umu obodo, we go rise! (Hustle nor be crime!)
[Breakdown – Callouts & Street Ad-libs]
"Hot akara! Warm bread!" — market vibes
"Okada! Roundabout! Junction strong!" — crowd reply
"Chukwu! Chukwu!" — hands up
"Focuswise! BM bite! Mechanic Boy!" — eh!
[Final Verse – Chidibest Focuswise]
From Ogume to the world, na story we dey write,
No shame to grind, no shame to fight the night (no shame)
When the rain fall, we cover bread with plastic wrap,
When the sun set, we still dey plan the next map (next map)
Mama dey pray, bros dey hustle, mammy dey smile,
We collect small wins, stack small change, run the mile,
This for every trader, every rider, every hand that tries,
Umu obodo — your hustle shine, believe the skies.
