Time No Dey Wait
A song made by Udehani Chinedu
(Oya, ehen! Shey you dey hear?)
Listen close, omo, make you hear word.
Frobits on the beat, but this one na deep truth.
Time no dey wait oh! Oya, let's go!
If you play at age five, we say e acceptable,
If you strong head at ten, we say e understandable.
At age twenty, you fine, you dey try, e commendable,
At age thirty, you focus, my broda, recommendable.
But look at forty, if you no wise, e go bad oh,
Untenable, unacceptable, the matter go sad oh.
Forty-five, no career, omo, dat one is questionable,
Fifty, sixty, no pikin, they say e uncommendable.
But no be parameter to measure your life,
Just do your best, make you survive the strife!
So live all you can, enjoy all you can,
Spend all you can, no look Uche face!
Make friends, make foes, celebrate the plan,
Achieve all you can, just run your own race!
Time is no enemy, age is no friend,
Calendar is no foe, from start to the end.
Time no dey wait, omo, time no dey wait! (Wahala!)
Run your own race, make you no dey late!
Prayers no fit plunge time, fasting no fit faint age,
Alms no fit harm time, you can't lock it in a cage.
Mountains no fit surmount age, hills no fit hurt time,
Streams no fit scare age, rivers no fit vex time.
Omo, time dey move, tick-tock, e dey go,
No matter your fasting, the age e go show!
So work on your season, make you live nice,
No waste your youth on top empty vice!
So live all you can, enjoy all you can,
Spend all you can, no look Uche face!
Make friends, make foes, celebrate the plan,
Achieve all you can, just run your own race!
Time is no enemy, age is no friend,
Calendar is no foe, from start to the end.
Time no dey wait, omo, time no dey wait! (See gobe!)
Run your own race, make you no dey late!
Look at the sun, the moon and the stars,
They dey shine their shine, they don't count their scars.
They don't waste their season, they don't waste their day,
The cock go crow when the time dey display.
So why you dey delay? Why you dey look back?
Pack your load, make you put your life on track!
Fool can play foolery, coward can cower,
But the wise man go stand, he go build up his power.
Fulfill your dreams, make you light up your light,
Today is in your hand, make your future dey bright.
No waste your life on top waist, make you haste,
Run with a purpose, make your time no go waste.
Before age walk in a haste and you dey cry,
Omo, spread your wings, make you fly, make you try!
So live all you can, enjoy all you can,
Spend all you can, no look Uche face!
Make friends, make foes, celebrate the plan,
Achieve all you can, just run your own race!
Time is no enemy, age is no friend,
Calendar is no foe, from start to the end.
Time no dey wait, omo, time no dey wait! (No dulling!)
Run your own race, make you no dey late!
They are here to stay, the earth go dey spin,
Sun no fit burn them, the stars always win.
So expect your age, live nicely, no fear,
Make you shine your light throughout the whole year.
No dulling at all, no dulling.
Time no dey wait.
Oya, wake up! (Ehen!)
We out!
