Nna, listen to my story
God is faithful, oh
Back in Aguluzigbo, the streets were cold
Many people looked at me and said I wouldn't grow
They called me names, they labeled me the worst of all
They waited for the day that Niceboy would finally fall
But the dream inside my heart was burning like a flame
I kept on pushing through the hunger and the shame
Oh, Niceboy, see how the story has changed
From the hood to the glory, my life is rearranged
God has remembered me, He wiped away my tears
Niceboy is standing tall after all these lonely years
Chai, the blessing is overflowing now
Thirteenth of September, two-thousand and eighteen
I left for Senegal, chasing a different scene
I worked so hard, my hands were rough and dry
There were nights I laid awake, just wanted to cry
Wanted to give up, thought the road was far too long
But the spirit in my soul kept me moving along
Oh, Niceboy, see how the story has changed
From the hood to the glory, my life is rearranged
God has remembered me, He wiped away my tears
Niceboy is standing tall after all these lonely years
Oya, join me in the celebration now
Fast forward to the year twenty-twenty
God turned the table, gave me favor in plenty
I returned to Nigeria, my head held high
Look at the evidence, reach for the sky
Omo, no condition is permanent, they know
Watch how the Niceboy legacy will grow
Don't let them tell you that your time will never come
When God says it's time, He'll be beating on the drum
I was the one they doubted in the neighborhood
Now I'm the one they praise for standing where I should
It's a testament of grace, it's a testament of fire
Niceboy is climbing higher, and I never will tire
Oh, Niceboy, see how the story has changed
From the hood to the glory, my life is rearranged
God has remembered me, He wiped away my tears
Niceboy is standing tall after all these lonely years
Chop life, for the struggle is over now
Niceboy, the story is written in gold
God is the author, truth be told
Yeah, the struggle is over
Niceboy, carry go!
