[Intro – Spoken/Chanted softly over percussion]
Yeah, yeah…
Life no easy oh…
But we dey move… we dey rise…
One step, one prayer, one vibe…
[Verse 1]
Waka for this life, e no dey smooth
Sometimes na rain, sometimes na soot
People go talk, people go change
But I go hold my lane, I no go bend
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh mama say, “My pikin shine your eye”
No let the world make you forget your why
Even when yawa gas, I go dey try
Na so we rise, we no dey shy
[Chorus]
The journey may be rough (eh eh)
But I go dey go, I no go stop (no no)
Even if I fall down small (eh eh)
I go rise again like say na law
The journey may be tough (eh eh)
But I get my dream, and I get my God (yes oh)
Every sweat, every scar, every cough
Na sign say I dey live, I dey tough
[Verse 2]
Dem fit laugh when I dey broke
Dem no know say blessing dey cook
Today na struggle, tomorrow na groove
Na patient man dey chop the soup
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh papa talk say “No lose your soul”
Gold dey inside even dirty bowl
I go press on, make I reach my goal
This journey long, but I carry hope
[Chorus]
The journey may be rough (eh eh)
But I go dey go, I no go stop (no no)
Even if I fall down small (eh eh)
I go rise again like say na law
The journey may be tough (eh eh)
But I get my dream, and I get my God (yes oh)
Every sweat, every scar, every cough
Na sign say I dey live, I dey tough
[Bridge – Call & Response]
(Call:) No retreat oh
(Resp:) No surrender!
(Call:) If I fall down
(Resp:) I go remember!
(Call:) My mama prayers
(Resp:) Dey for my center
Together: I be warrior, I no dey quench oh!
[Outro – Fade with groove and adlibs]
Life na journey, no be race
I go dey move, I go dey chase
With my rhythm, with my grace
The journey rough, but I dey face…
