[Intro]
Yea
Of Lagos
Ahn
Yea
Yea yea

[Verse 1]
Been through many many
Don show for tele tele
I’m making plenty money
First son of my brother’s mummy
O’ngbona feli feli
My eyes are teary teary
I’m getting weary weary
This shit is
This shit is smelly smelly
Been through the devil’s belly
I had to grow up early
I no shakur like makavelli
It’s quite unnecessary
Very unnecessary
Plenty dead guys wey no dey even go
Yaba cementry for nothing

[Chorus]
Heads up lil soldier boy (Get your head up)
Toughen up lil soldier boy
You gon be okay
You gon be okay yeah
Heads up lil soldier boy (Get your head up)
It’s tough lil soldier boy
You gon be okay
You gon be okay yeah

[Verse 2]
Plenty things wey I no go talk
Till I go die
Plenty truth you go hear
You go say I dey lie
Plenty toss, plenty gist
Plenty girls, greedy ones
Pretty ones, the ones I’ve lost
I still try to find
Plenty times I dey sleep
But I dey trend for some app
Plenty people dey act
Make e no be like say I cast director
Wey dey toss
Omo boy wey dey work
Abi all of us
Wey dey issue behind the scene
Wey no dey talk
A’imoye toma sore fun
Tan ma gbeyin bebo je
Won moyon to poison ounje e
Wa tun ni pe kolo je
Toba domi drum s’iwaju
Si be ko tele jeje
Tori wo gan oni fete ah
Why I dey do this I no know
Shey na jazz i no know
Shey na kpa I no know
Abil don dey proud?
Cos I no understand
Who dey front? I no know
Who dey back? I no know
Honestly I dont know mehnnn

[Chorus]
Heads up lil soldier boy (Get your head up)
Toughen up lil soldier boy
You gon be okay
You gon be okay yea
Heads up lil soldier boy (Get your head up)
It’s tough lil soldier boy
You gon be okay
You gon be okay yeah

[Outro]
You gon be okay yes and I know
You gon be okay yes and I know
You gon be okay yes and I know
You gon be okay yes and I know
