[Intro]
Yes oh
Yes oh, yes oh, eh
Yes oh
Yes oh, yes oh, oh
My guy, na your eye go sharpen
Because e be like say e don dey happen
No shaking, nothing dey happen
Nobody wan kpai, but they wan go heaven
[Verse 1]
I work hard for the money, it is not funny
'Cause I got to say it's not easy, at all, at all
If I was you, I'd get busy
'Cause I no go fit afford to get lazy, at all
No let opportunity pass you by
You get to dey always continue to dey try
You get to try to dey always have mind
Because you no wan kpai before you die, lai lai
I know say you dey like to dey jolly
'Cause I see you for my body, you dey shake your body
I know say you go like to make money
To impress your baby, plus all of your family
There is no film trick involved inside
Reality, my brother, is the way that we ride
If I tell you say easy, oh, na setup
So now all you got to do is rise up and get up
For what you believe in, stand up
If it seems like you sleeping, rise up
You got to fight for yourself
Before you find yourself by yourself with your hands up
You got to be strong, you got to hold on
You got to keep keeping on
You got to realize say
It is all man for himself, that's why I say
[Chorus]
My guy, na your eye go sharpen
Because e be like say e don dey happen (Eh)
No shaking, nothing dey happen
Nobody wan kpai, but they wan go heaven (Oh)
My guy, na your eye go sharpen
Because e be like say e don dey happen (Ooh)
No shaking, nothing dey happen
Nobody wan kpai, but they wan go heaven (Eh)
[Verse 2]
I wake up in the morning
I look up at the rising sun
There is no time to waste
There's a lot of things that need to be done
And pray to God to give you the wisdom
To understand where you come from
And pray to God to give you
The strength that you need to proceed, ay
And to teach you to believe in yourself
Teach you to depend on nobody else
Teach you to dey soji yourself
Teach you to know that your health is your wealth and
Teach you to understand that
Your destiny is in your hands
Teach you to dey shine your eyes and
Realize say, it is all man for himself, say
[Chorus]
My guy, na your eye go sharpen
Because e be like say e don dey happen
No shaking, nothing dey happen
Nobody wan kpai, but they wan go heaven (Ah)
My guy, na your eye go sharpen
Because e be like say e don dey happen (E don dey happen)
No shaking, nothing dey happen
Nobody wan kpai, but they wan go heaven (Eh)
My guy, na your eye go sharpen
Because e be like say e don dey happen (You got to work hard for the money)
No shaking, nothing dey happen
Nobody wan kpai, but they wan go heaven (You got to work hard for the money)
My guy, na your eye go sharpen
Because e be like say e don dey happen
No shaking, nothing dey happen
Nobody wan kpai, but they wan go heaven (Eh)
[Bridge/Reprise]
No slacking, no gawking
Keep working, no stopping
No playing, keep moving
No shady dealing, eh
For what you believe in, stand up
If you think that you're sleeping, rise up
You got to fight for yourself
Before you find yourself by yourself with your hands up
You got to be strong, got to hold on
And keep keeping on
Got to realize say
It is all man for himself, that's why I say
[Chorus]
My guy, na your eye go sharpen
