Street No Dey Lie

Intro:

Yeah yeah

Omo…

Na street raise me

Listen up

Chorus:

Street no dey lie, e go show you sign

From dust to shine, omo na God design

We dey hustle day, we dey pray at night

If you fall today, you go stand tomorrow, alright

Street no dey lie, e no send anybody

If you no sharp, dem go chop your destiny

But my heart strong, my eye dey the money

Na steady grind till my mama proud of me

Verse 1:

I remember days when garri be dinner

No data for phone, just hope for tomorrow

Rain for face, sun burn my skin

But my dream big pass the pain wey I see

Area boys dey shout for junction

Police siren, everybody scatter

Mama say “pray”, papa say “focus”

If you lazy for street, hunger go flog you

Pre-Chorus:

Dem say make I give up, I say never

Life hard but my mind harder

From gutter to mansion later

Na my time, I no fit fear

Chorus:

Street no dey lie, e go show you sign

From dust to shine, omo na God design

We dey hustle day, we dey pray at night

If you fall today, you go stand tomorrow, alright

Verse 2:

Omo see as life dey test patience

Fake friends everywhere, no allegiance

Smile for face, envy for mind

That’s why my circle small, my spirit fine

I no get godfather, na God be my plug

Every tear wey I cry turn to fuel for the grind

If you see me shining, know say I suffer

Success sweet pass all the tears and hunger

Bridge:

If money no come today, e go come tomorrow

I no go borrow my destiny for sorrow

Street teach me code, street teach me sense

Loyalty, respect, and confidence

Chorus (Repeat):

Street no dey lie, e go show you sign

From dust to shine, omo na God design

We dey hustle day, we dey pray at night

If you fall today, you go stand tomorrow, alright

Outro:

Na street raise me

Na street shape me

But e no break me

Omo… we move
