Simi debuts her new album, TBH (To Be Honest) with the song “Story Story”. It is an intimate opener where she looks back on her early days; growing up in Ojuelegba, finding her voice in the music industry, recording demos, being underpaid and chasing dreams.
The soft Afro-soul production allows her storytelling to shine, while her vocals feel intimate and sincere.
The track is reflective, setting up the journey she’s about to share. The lyrics further describes her hard work and staying true to her passion despite facing challenges.

Born in Ojuelegba o
Just like Wiz
But on another street
Ajebo in the ghetto
I only learnt how to hustle
Right after university
Up all night making demos
I say mama I don't wanna do no 9 to 5
When I sing song
Me dey feel alright
And everyday I be recording covers
Make Drake hear am
Asa hear am
I go to bed at 4
Wake up at 6
I'm begging my producer friends for beat
Yeah I paid my dues
Yeah I paid my dues
Me no accept defeat
This is my story oh
And I'm giving God the glory oh
Nothing fit to quench my fire
Till I retire
What a beautiful journey
I got my God and SimiArmy
So I go dey okay
Back in the days when I sang them gospel songs
Oh boy, it was tough oh
10k honorarium
(Damn)
Some say me no sing style

Thank God for God oh
Now I'm singing to millions
I say, Daddy I don't wanna do no 9 to 5
When I hold mic

Anytime you hear me sing song wey you like
You know say me don write am
Five or six times

Dem pay with exposure

No disrespecting me
This is my story oh
And I'm giving God the glory oh
Nothing fit to quench my fire
Till I retire
What a beautiful journey

Nothing fit to quench my fire
Fire fire
