Nna, listen to the rhythm of the soul
Experience is the teacher, wisdom is the goal
I look in the mirror and I see the road I traveled
Every knot of struggle that my own hands unraveled
They tried to block the sun, they tried to shade my light
But a man born of fire is built to win the fight
I don't need permission to stand upon this ground
When the grace of the Almighty is echoing all around
Chai, the path was rocky but I kept my head held high
With the spirit of a lion, I prepare to touch the sky
I am a man, with the fire burning deep inside
With the strength of a father, and nowhere left to hide
If you try to stop the tide, you cannot withstand the power
I am blooming in the sun, I am reaching for my flower
Oh, I deserve the right to live, just like any other man
Walking with my head held high across this golden land
Experience is the crown that sits upon my head
I learned to make a feast even when there was no bread
Some men have their pride, and some men have their gold
But the story of my life is the greatest ever told
Oya, step aside if you cannot see the truth
I invested all my wisdom in the hunger of my youth
No wahala in my spirit, no shadow in my heart
I was born to finish strong, I was born to play my part
I am a man, with the fire burning deep inside
With the strength of a father, and nowhere left to hide
If you try to stop the tide, you cannot withstand the power
I am blooming in the sun, I am reaching for my flower
Oh, I deserve the right to live, just like any other man
Walking with my head held high across this golden land
Chop life, but keep your feet upon the earth
Remember where you came from, remember your own worth
Omo, the struggle made me, the wisdom saved my soul
Now I’m standing like a giant, I am finally made whole
So let the horns blow loud, let the guitar start to sing
I am royalty in motion, I am built for everything
No man can block the blessing that is written in my name
I am rising through the fire, I am thriving in the flame
Omalicha life, I embrace it with a grin
With the spirit of a father, let the victory begin
I am a man, with the fire burning deep inside
With the strength of a father, and nowhere left to hide
If you try to stop the tide, you cannot withstand the power
I am blooming in the sun, I am reaching for my flower
Oh, I deserve the right to live, just like any other man
Walking with my head held high across this golden land
I am a man, yeah, I’m standing tall
Stronger than the mountain, I will never fall
Nna, it’s my time to shine, it’s my time to be
Everything the Lord intended for a man like me
Chop life, keep moving, yeah.
