(Yeah, yeah)
Listen to the sound of the victory, ayy
We worked for it, we got it
It’s a celebration, yoh
Early mornings in the library, coffee in my cup
Burning all the midnight oil, never giving up
The journey was a marathon, the road was kind of steep
But I held onto the promise, promises I gotta keep
Now the result is out and the feeling is so sweet
I’m walking on the clouds, yeah, I’m dancing on the street
It’s a merit, merit, see me shine
Everything is falling, yeah, everything is fine
It’s a merit, merit, I’m the best
Put the doubt aside, I’m passing every test
Yeah, celebrate the day, let the music play
It’s a merit, merit, in a major way
Call my mama, tell her that the boy done good
Representing for the fam, representing for the hood
My friends are popping bottles, yeah, the energy is high
Looking at the stars, I’m aiming for the sky
It wasn't easy, no, I faced a lot of wahala
But today we eating chicken, today we eating nshima
It’s a merit, merit, see me shine
Everything is falling, yeah, everything is fine
It’s a merit, merit, I’m the best
Put the doubt aside, I’m passing every test
Yeah, celebrate the day, let the music play
It’s a merit, merit, in a major way
Step by step, one day at a time
Climbing up the ladder, yeah, the view is so sublime
No stopping now, we’re moving to the next phase
Leaving all the shadows, stepping into golden rays
It’s a merit, merit, see me shine
Everything is falling, yeah, everything is fine
It’s a merit, merit, I’m the best
Put the doubt aside, I’m passing every test
Yeah, celebrate the day, let the music play
It’s a merit, merit, in a major way
Natotela to the ones who held me down
It’s a merit vibe, best in the town
Yeah, we moving, we grooving
Celebrate, celebrate, ayy, yoh
(It’s a merit!)
(Yeah, we good!)
