[Intro]

Hey, people be acting like they know it all

Hey, ooh, people be acting like they know it all

Hey, oh, ah eh, ay, people be acting like they know it all

Oh oh ooh

See

[Verse 1]

See this type of thing wey we dey feel

Before you know you don the world dey start to kolo small

I no go lie we feel these things for real

Some people no believe am man even about them go down fall

It’s reality and you will see

That it pays nobody

To be feeling that they all and all

Try to visualize what I feel

And then I bet you what you see

Would be a picture of a garden wall

If you try to push am down

Try to enter the town

Try to see wetin dey happen around

Na so them go dey bring you down

Before you go know you go dey for six feet under the ground

Eh

[Chorus]

Some be acting that they know it all

But everybody knows that people rise and fall

Some rise up again just to stand up tall

And wiser and stronger

No matter how long you live

You can not learn it all

You go only do your best because you no go fit do all

If you want to criticize me, talk small small

You no holy pass

Eh, yarn small small

Make you dey yarn small small

Make you talk small small

Talk small small

Yarn small small

Yarn small small

Yarn small small

Eh, eh

[Verse 2]

Some people when them see a wrong thing

They will start complaining

Until the complaining will turn into shouting

Anytime they see a wrong thing

They continue shouting

Until the shouting turn into traditional shouting

When them try to correct a thing

They will start to thinking

Until the thinking make the pressure start to set in

Make them feel like outcasting

The society them live in

Because they lose them sense of belonging

And they would try to push am more

Try to open every door

When negativity doesn’t make it certain

So when them try to stop the complaining

And the shouting

Them no go fit because e don be spiritual something

People take advantage of the dream

Because them realizing

Say this people lost them spirit of fighting

They will start to use them head

Use am like dustbin

All the problem of the nation

Them be dumping, in them head

Slavery will start to set in like Amistad

Oya, I know say you seen the making

And them try to do almost anything

For almost nothing

'Cause them same people they need some fighting

But the scavengers would bring them all

And push them to the floor

Start to collect all the people them belonging

But like a goat that has been pushed to the wall

We already ready start to do the bad thing

So we a go run them down

Run them all around, we a go chase them outta we town

Over sabi, we go gun them down

Before them go know

Them go dey for six feet under the ground

[Chorus]

Some people be acting that they know it all

But everybody knows that people rise and fall

Some rise up again just to stand up tall

And wiser and stronger

No matter how long you live you can not learn it all

You go only do your best because you no go fit do all

So if you want to criticize me, talk small small

You no holy pass

Yarn small small

Yarn small small

Talk small small

[Bridge]

Chai, eh eh

Eh eh eh eh

Oh oh oh

[Chorus]

Some people be acting that they know it all

But everybody knows that people rise and fall

Some rise up again just to stand up tall

And wiser and stronger

No matter how long you live you cannot learn it all

You go only do your best because you no go fit do all

If you want to criticize me, talk small small

You no holy pass
