Acrobat (Balance the Struggle)

Intro

E choke! Naija no balance, omo!

We dey spin am, we dey spin am!

Verse 1

I be acrobat for this country sha

Balance economy on my head like calabash

One foot up, one foot down

Dey dodge the potholes in this Lagos town

Geneva light don enter my pocket

But NEPA never return the light

Wetin we go do? We just dey manage

Take am to God, no complaint stage

Father say make we hold on

Mother say pray and believe

But acrobat tire, abi my broda?

Spinning plates while the ground shake

Chorus

We acrobats, balancing the struggle (balancing!)

We acrobats, can't fall down (no fall!)

Naija dey test am, e no dey gentle

But we acrobats, we no go crumble (eish!)

We acrobats, naija strong strong (strong!)

We acrobats, we holding on (holding on!)

Verse 2

Face palm-oil prices like acrobat face

Fuel go up, come down, up again no be small thing

Schools dey close, hospitals dey shake

But acrobat children still smile for mama

Roads dey twist like our spin move

Politicians promise like they no know physics

But we balance am with prayers and pepper

Jara! We still dey dance on this rope

Money dey fly like confetti, no settle

But acrobat hands catch the vision

Naija no finish, we dey continue

Walahi, we go make am work

Chorus

We acrobats, balancing the struggle (balancing!)

We acrobats, can't fall down (no fall!)

Naija dey test am, e no dey gentle

But we acrobats, we no go crumble (chai!)

We acrobats, naija strong strong (strong!)

We acrobats, we holding on (on and on!)

Outro

Acrobat! (We dey balance!)

Acrobat! (We dey spin!)

Naija acrobat, we no fit fall!

Hallelujah! E choke!
