Intro
Eku ile, my brothers
E no easy, but music na hope
Verse 1
I start from Bariga corner with my old guitar
String dem don tear, but sound still dey travel far
No chop for morning, just water and determination
My mama done worry, but I see my own station
Walking Lekki road with hole for my sole
But music in my spirit, e done take control
Say I wan make am, everybody laugh at me
But I know say tomorrow go change my story completely
Chorus
From nothing to something, from ground to the top
E dey pain but the vision no go stop
From nothing to something, watch me rise up steady
This poverty no go be my final story
Abo! E dey pain but we still dey push on
Abeg! This music go be our liberation
Verse 2
I play for weddings just to get small change
Thirty naira here, fifty there, small range
But every note I play, I invest am back
Recording, rehearsal, I follow my track
No school fee for younger brother, but I dey find way
Ma generator wahala but I write at night anyway
They say "musician no get future," but I see different
My poverty no define my vision, na my resilience
Chorus
From nothing to something, from ground to the top
E dey pain but the vision no go stop
From nothing to something, watch me rise up steady
This poverty no go be my final story
Chai! E no easy but the music sweet
Omo! One day the whole world go hear my beat
Outro
Eku ile, I don come
From nothing to stage
The struggle continue but we carry on
No cap, on God
