INTRO (Spoken / Sung)
Yeah…
Omo…
Life no easy, but we still dey push.
VERSE 1
Mama call me for the morning,
Say “my son, how body today?”
I tell am say I dey fine,
Even when e no dey okay.
NEPA off, water no dey,
But my dream still dey alive,
Every night I dey hustle hard,
Make tomorrow go arrive.
Bills dey line like enemies,
Pressure wan burst my brain,
Everybody dey flex online,
But offline na different pain.
I smile make nobody worry,
But my heart dey carry weight,
If you dey my shoe one day,
You go know say e no easy.
PRE-CHORUS
I don waka far, I don fall, I rise,
Still dey pray with my two eyes closed,
If tomorrow better pass today,
Then all this suffering no waste.
CHORUS
No be small thing we dey face for Naija 🇳🇬
But we still dey move, we still dey try.
Even when hope wan fade away,
I still believe say God dey.
No be small thing we dey survive,
Everyday na hustle, everyday na fight,
If I make am one day,
Na for everybody wey stand by me.
VERSE 2
Papa say “be strong, be a man”,
Even when food no reach,
Mama still dey pray for me,
Say my time go soon reach.
Brother dey find connection,
Sister dream put on hold,
System no dey hear our cry,
But our spirit never fold.
I see my guys dey japa,
Some no fit even smile,
Some don lose themselves for street,
Some still dey run this race.
If to be broke na shame,
Then many kings dey poor,
But my soul no dey for sale,
Even when hunger knock door.
PRE-CHORUS
I don cry for place wey nobody know,
I don stand when my body wan fold,
If tomorrow better pass today,
Then my pain get meaning.
CHORUS
No be small thing we dey face for Naija 🇳🇬
But we still dey move, we still dey try.
Even when hope wan fade away,
I still believe say God dey.
No be small thing we dey survive,
Everyday na hustle, everyday na fight,
If I make am one day,
Na for everybody wey stand by me.
BRIDGE (AFROBEAT BREAK – CALL & RESPONSE)
Dem say “how far?” — I say “I dey try”
Dem say “you go make am” — I say “one day”
From grass to grace, from pain to praise,
I no go stop, I no go break.
FINAL CHORUS (MORE ENERGY)
No be small thing we dey face for Naija,
But my spirit no go die,
Through the fire, through the pressure,
I go shine, I swear.
No be small thing we dey survive,
But my heart still dey alive,
If you dey hear this song tonight,
My brother, you no dey alone.
OUTRO (CHANT / FADE)
We go make am…
We go rise…
No be small…
But we dey here.
