(Oya, nau Ilesanmi Dada)
See, life no be play play, you sabi?
Sometimes you wonder what is real
(Ehen, tell me the truth)
I look into your eyes, asking for the light
If the money disappear, will you still be by my side?
If the bank account hit zero and the pressure starts to rise
Tell me, darling, would you keep the love alive?
I’m just asking for the truth, no need for the disguise
'Cause I know the game we playing, and I know how the story flies
Tell me the truth, if I lost it all today
Would you pack your bags and find another way?
Some women test the love, but poverty test the soul
They want the heavy rhythm, they want to take control
But tell me, tell me, would you stay with me?
When the golden crown is gone, would you still be free?
He said, 'I'm scared of the shadows that the silence brings'
'I’m scared of the winter when the summer stops to sing'
She looked at him and said, 'You’re judging me too fast'
'You’re thinking that my heart is something built to never last'
'You think I'm like the others, running from the rain'
'But I'm not like a lot of people, I’m the one who heals the pain'
Tell me the truth, if I lost it all today
Would you pack your bags and find another way?
Some women test the love, but poverty test the soul
They want the heavy rhythm, they want to take control
But tell me, tell me, would you stay with me?
When the golden crown is gone, would you still be free?

'You love the confidence, you love the shining light'
'But you don't know the woman who is walking in the night'
I’m not a lot of people, I’m the one who holds your hand
Even when the sand is shifting, I’m the one who helps you stand
See gobe, but I still here
No dulling, love is clear
Yeah, I’m not a lot of people, no cap
(Ilesanmi Dada)
My love is deep, for real
We rise, we go again
