Ah-ah! E don do oh!
Make I yarn you something
You think say I be mumu wey go dey quiet?
Na lie oh, this time I go speak am loud
Wetin you do me, e no sweet me at all
I get mouth oh, I fit talk my own
Self respect na im be the code
No dulling, I go stand my ground
You go hear am today, no be small thing
Omo, person pikin get pride!
Speak up! Make them hear your voice oh
No let dem treat you anyhow
Speak up! Show them say you sabi yourself
Respect na two-way street, abi?
Speak up! No be by force to suffer
Your worth no be for play
Speak up! Tell them wetin dey pain you
So them go know their boundary, ehen!
See, silence no mean say I weak
But when you cross the line, I go speak
You go learn today, no be joke
I know my value, I no dey cheap
Self respect na the first respect
If you no rate yourself, who go rate you?
So I dey talk am clear clear
Do me well, I go do you well
Do me bad, wahala go dey oh!
Speak up! Make them hear your voice oh
No let dem treat you anyhow
Speak up! Show them say you sabi yourself
Respect na two-way street, abi?
Speak up! No be by force to suffer
Your worth no be for play
Speak up! Tell them wetin dey pain you
So them go know their boundary, ehen!
I don talk my own oh
Make e enter your ear!
Self respect, respect respect!
