See gobe! Lagos landlord na wa, but we still dey stand!
DJ Harbours for the speakers, shepherd for the street!
January come, rent don double up
From one-point-something, e jump to two-point-nothing
Wahala dey everywhere, body dey scratch me
No light, no water, but light bill dey rise like bread
Agent dey shout, 'Pay now or you pack your load'
I look am for eye, I say 'Oga, take heart'
My brother, Lagos life no be for lazy man at all
We dey hustle, we dey pray, make pocket no run empty
Landlord wahala, e no dey finish, omo!
We dey hustle hard, we dey find our daily bread
Bless the good landlord, wetin be the problem?
Make we celebrate life, even with this kind wahala!
Generator fuel price, e don hit the ceiling
Water for borehole, e dry like Harmattan season
Tenant and landlord, na two different world
But today, I no wan hear story of eviction
'Eku ile', I greet you with respect, Baba
But abeg, look my face, I be person pikin too
Make we live like brothers, no be fight we come for
Lagos na jungle, but na we get the key to success
(Talking drum solo) Hah! E choke!
Some landlord dey show love, some dey show pepper
But God pass them, e pass the rent, e pass the wahala
We rise, we grind, we go buy our own house one day!
Amen!
Landlord wahala, e no dey finish, omo!
But we still dey dance, we no go gree for anybody
Shepherd for the street, we dey pray for better days
Even if rent go up, our spirit no go go down
Landlord wahala, e no dey finish, omo!
We dey hustle hard, we dey find our daily bread
Bless the good landlord, wetin be the problem?
Make we celebrate life, even with this kind wahala!
See gobe! No dulling!
Lagos na for us, we no go gree!
Bless all the tenants, bless all the good landlords too
