Naija Pidgin Rap: "Street Light"
(Verse 1)
Yo, check the mic, one two, e steady for my hand
Another story from the trenches, for all my people for land.
The sun don set, darkness dey spread, but my spirit still dey glow
Like the street light wey dey shine, even when the current low.
See the hustlers for junction, dem still dey find their way
Selling pure water, gala, trying to make ends meet today.
No be easy journey, my brother, to survive for this place
But we still dey smile and laugh, with a hopeful face.
(Chorus)
Street Light! E dey shine for the night, no dulling
E dey show us the road, when the bad vibes dey calling.
Street Light! E be symbol of hope, e no dey die
Even when the storm rage, e go still dey high.
(Verse 2)
Some dey vex say government no care, say life no dey fair
But we no fit just siddon, dey complain for the air.
We get dreams for our future, for our pickin dem to grow
So we go push and we go fight, until success go show.
From early morning prayer, to late night work and grind
We dey build our own empire, leave the struggles behind.
So if you see me for the corner, dey drop my heavy bars
Just know say na motivation, for my people, no frontiers.
(Chorus)
Street Light! E dey shine for the night, no dulling
E dey show us the road, when the bad vibes dey calling.
Street Light! E be symbol of hope, e no dey die
Even when the storm rage, e go still dey high.
(Outro)
Yeah! Keep your head up, my people!
The street light dey shine for us all. Believe!
