Chai! E don tey oh, I go back small
When belle dey run, pocket dey crawl
Orlando, no time wasted!
I remember when money no dey for hand at all
Garri and groundnut na im be my ball
No light for house, na candle we dey use oh
But the hustle wey dey inside, e no fit lose
Mama dey fry akara for roadside for us
Papa dey do okada, rain or sunshine, no pause
We no get car, na leg we dey take waka
But the love wey full house, e scatter! (Omo!)
When money no dey, wahala plenty
But we survive am, we no gree fall
When money no dey, we still dey happy
Na those times teach us say we go ball
Eh-eh, no forget where we from, sha
Eh-eh, the struggle make us strong, ya
Eh-eh, now things don change, ehen
But we no go forget where we from, on God!
See me now, I don blow small small, ah-ah
But I no forget the struggle at all at all
Those times wey we share one Fanta for like six bros
Now I fit buy crate, but the memory e dey stick
My guys wey stand with me when I no get nothing
Na dem I dey remember when blessing dey rushing
Poverty test us, but e no break us, abeg
Now we dey chop life, nobody fit shake us! (No dulling!)
When money no dey, wahala plenty
But we survive am, we no gree fall
When money no dey, we still dey happy
Na those times teach us say we go ball
Eh-eh, no forget where we from, sha
Eh-eh, the struggle make us strong, ya
Eh-eh, now things don change, ehen
But we no go forget where we from, on God!
When money no dey... (Chai!)
But now e dey oh, e dey! (Ehen!)
We no go forget, omo!
Never, never, never!
Keep grinding hard, no time wasted!
