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 reflective lyrics further describe her hard work and staying true to her passion despite facing challenges.

Can you see me now
[Verse 1]
Born in Ojuelegba oh
Just like Wiz but on another street
Ajebo in the Ghetto
Yeah
I only learn 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
I shaa hear am
I go to bed at 4 wake up at 6
I'm begging my producer friends for beats
Yeah I pay my dues
Yeah I pay my dues
Me no accept defeat
[Chorus]
This is my Sto ooo ry oh
And I'm give God the Glo oo ry oh
Nothing fit to quеnch my fire
Till I retire
Oh what a Bеautiful Journey
I got my God and Simi Army
So I go dey oh okay
[Verse 2]
Back in the days when I sang dem Gospel Songs
Oh boy it was tough oh
10k on a radio, 10
Some say me no sing style wey go fit blow
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 me dey feel alright
Anytime you hear me sing song wey you like
You no say me don write am 5 or 6 times
Done so many, so many shows for free
Dem pay with exposure, I still stay loving
Yeah I pay my dues
Yeah I pay my dues
No disrespect me
[Chorus]
This is my Sto ooo ry oh
And I'm give God the Glo oo ry oh
Nothing fit to quench my fire
Till I retire
Oh what a Beautiful Journey
I got my God and Simi Army
So I go dey okay
[Outro]
I go dey okay
Go dey okay
I go dey okay oh
Nothing fit to quench my fire (fire, fire, fire)
Till I retire
Oh what a Beautiful Journey
I got my God and Simi Army
So I go dey oh okay
