(Oya, ehen!)
See, when the whole world run comot, you stand by me
No cap, on God!
My real paddy, my brother, my odogwu
Listen!
When things get red, when pocket dry
When tears dey roll down from my eye
Many people run, they japa go far
They leave me for cold, inside the dark
But you block my back, you say "no wahala"
You carry my burden, you share my palava
You no look my face say I get or I no get
Na that kind love I fit never forget
My paddy for life, you be real odogwu
When I dey down, you raise me high, oh-o
If the world dey against me, you stand by me
Omo, your love na genuine key!
True friend, on God, you dey ginger my soul
We go chop this life together, that na the goal
My paddy for life, you be real odogwu
True love, no cap, e choke!
Omo, life no easy when money no dey
Suffer dey hammer you every single day
People go look you like say you be plague
Even your shadows dey play you hide-and-seek
But you bring the light when NEPA off light
You stand by my side, you join me for fight
You give me your last, you say make I hold on
Say after the rain, the sun must to shine on
My paddy for life, you be real odogwu
When I dey down, you raise me high, oh-o
If the world dey against me, you stand by me
Omo, your love na genuine key!
True friend, on God, you dey ginger my soul
We go chop this life together, that na the goal
My paddy for life, you be real odogwu
True love, no cap, e choke!
(Chai! Listen to the guitar!)
Nwannem, you be gold, you be precious thing
No be mouth, na the song wey I wan sing
People dey search for gold, they dey search for diamond
But na true friend like you dey make person strong
You be my armor when war dey for street
Because of you, I dey stand on my feet
(Abeg, give them!)
Now that the table dey turn for our side
Now wey we dey enjoy the sweet soft life
No be only me go dey chop the suya
Anywhere I dey, you must dey there, brother
We start from the bottom, now we dey the top
This our friendship, e no go ever stop
My paddy for life, you be real odogwu
When I dey down, you raise me high, oh-o
If the world dey against me, you stand by me
Omo, your love na genuine key!
True friend, on God, you dey ginger my soul
We go chop this life together, that na the goal
My paddy for life, you be real odogwu
True love, no cap, e choke!
My real paddy, my brother
We stand together forever, no wahala
Thank you for standing by me, on God
Chai, e choke!
Oya, no dulling...
