(Verse 1 – Pidgin)
You dey run for everybody hand
You turn your heart to public land
If person call, you answer "yes"
Even when your chest dey cry for rest
(Pre-chorus)
But as you dey share your small light
You no fit see road for night
(Chorus)
Because wetin be for everybody na for nobody o
You pour yourself away, still your body dey empty o
You no be road for every lorry wey dey come
Keep your own piece before your life go numb
(Verse 2 – Pidgin)
Dem go collect your time, collect your name
Finish dem go leave you for shame
You cook big pot for whole community
But your own stomach dey face calamity
(Pre-chorus)
The more you try to be for all
Your own voice go dey crawl
(Chorus)
Wetin be for everybody na for nobody o
You give everybody key, but your own door dey lock o
You no be beach for every wave wey blow
Find your one person — abeg, let that one do
(Bridge – Broken English street style)
Not every wahala need your head
Not every fire need your mattress
One bell wey clear pass hundred noise
Learn to talk "No" — na there man dey find voice
(Outro)
So make dem find their own ground
You no be father to whole town
Wetin be for everybody go spoil fast
But wetin be for you — na that one go last.
"My friend, guard your own. If you lose yourself, nobody go find you."
