🎶 Intro – Spoken (Vibes)
Yeah yeah yeah...
This one be my story, Don Colonel
From Metar village to the towers of Dubai
I no go ever forget where I come from
Bamenda boy still dey stand strong
Let’s go!

🎶 Chorus
From Mile 90 to Azire road, I dey waka with my load
Nsongwa breeze blow cold, still I carry all my hopes
Old Church Junction be my corner, CCC be my school
Corona try break me down, but God no make me fool
From mechanic yard to Dubai skies, I rise
Inna bedspace life I cry, still I dey thank the Most High
From partition dreams to full flight, I rise
Failure meet me many times, but I never say goodbye
---
🎶 Verse 1
Bamenda na my heartbeat, Metar be my root
Mankind CCC teach me hustle, I wear the work boot
An T junction I dey learn spanner, grease dey my hand
LCC Mankon to GBHS Mbatu, na there I stand
No light, no peace, still we dey push
Hunger for belly, but spirit no shush
Dream big for Dubai, chase am like flash
Visa land 2020, then corona crash
Homeless, bedspace, partition dey tight
Still I no give up, I dey pray every night
No mattress, just floor and a towel
But I still dey smile, ‘cause I know say I’ll travel

🎶 Chorus
From Mile 90 to Azire road, I dey waka with my load
Nsongwa breeze blow cold, still I carry all my hopes
Old Church Junction be my corner, CCC be my school
Corona try break me down, but God no make me fool
From mechanic yard to Dubai skies, I rise
Inna bedspace life I cry, still I dey thank the Most High
From partition dreams to full flight, I rise
Failure meet me many times, but I never say goodbye

🎶 Verse 2
2020 bring wahala, streets cold like freezer
But I still dey grind for Dubai, no teaser
Phone dey silent, no mama call
But I dey press on — I refuse to fall
Mechanic engineer, Big Don with the gear
Fix Benz, Lambo, G-Wagon — no fear
But I start from Garage spanner and sweat
No A/C room, na heat and regret
Still I dey praise God say I still dey breathe
Pain teach me strength, now my blessing sweet
From Bamenda mud to Dubai gold
My life na testimony wey need to be told
---
🎶 Bridge (Spoken/Sung Mix)
I be that boy wey suffer
But I still dey rise like butter
From Mile 90 dust to Dubai lights
I dey glow even for darkest nights
If you dey hustle, no lose hope
Even when your life dey hang like rope
---
🎶 Final Chorus
From Mile 90 to Azire road, I dey waka with my load
Nsongwa breeze blow cold, still I carry all my hopes
Old Church Junction be my corner, CCC be my school
Corona try break me down, but God no make me fool
From mechanic yard to Dubai skies, I rise
Inna bedspace life I cry, still I dey thank the Most High
From partition dreams to full flight, I rise
Failure meet me many times, but I never say goodbye

🎶 Outro – Spoken
Don Colonel for life
This one for all the boys wey dey suffer
From Bamenda to Dubai, make una hold tight
No
