Lyrics
[Intro]
Ọmọ both fear and faith dey ask you to believe in wetin you no dey see
Na you go choose
[Verse 1: Priesst]
I go cut my coat oversize this year
I no waka reach here just to waka reach here
And if the tables no turn me, I go change chair
Wetin they’ll go talk, I don’t care
God dey my side, I no fear
[Chorus: Priesst]
I go waka with akonuche
Pass Ebuka, I stubborn (Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn)
Leave shame put for back like bumbum
From Abuja to London
This year dem go know say I don come
[Verse 2: Victony]
Say, I got my aura back o (Don)

Leave shame put for back like bumbum
From Abuja to London
This year dem go know say I don come
