[Intro]
Kabiyesi ti de o
Kabiyesi ti de o
BahdGuys
Okay, ewi lo de e
[Bridge: Oyinkansola:]
Kabiyesi o, e l'agogo, kabiyesi mi I bo o
Bi Oba mi ba w'ole, jini-jini ni mu Oba gbogbo
Kabiyesi o, omo Afolagbade, Oba mi, Afinju
Oba ti n f'ola re'ra
K'ara o le, baba; k'ade pe l'ori, ki bata pe l'ese
Irukere a tun pe l'owo o, Kabiyesi o
[Verse 1: Falz:]
Uhnn, Kabiyesi t'o wo snap-back
E wa wo Kabiyesi t'o wo canvas
Yeh; don't bring your girl to the palace
But, if she meets Kabiyesi, she will climax
Ahnn; Kabiyesi on the online
Orisa t'o n browse, s'o ti gbo n pa e?
Yeh; Kabiyesi on stage o
Somebody say there's no lens in his frame oh
Ahh; Kabiyesi really changing the game
You will never find another ruler wey be the same
Town-crier go an tell them he'll be making it rain
Just say 'Kabiyesi', don't be saying the name
He was spraying the change, when he came in the range
It's a grand-entry, he's been making the waves
Awon girls ti n shake, won ti lo k'atike
Yeh, clear the road, alagbara ti de, ahh
[Pre-chorus]
For the Kabiyesi, for the Kabiyesi
Kabiyesi ti de o
Blow horn, blow drum o
Tell everybody Kabiyesi have come o, ahnn
Clear the road, alagbara ti de
Kabiyesi ti de o
Tell everybody Kabiyesi have come o
Blow horn, blow drum o
Tell everybody Kabiyesi have come o, ahnn
[Chorus]
Kabiyesi, you're the one o
Oba oni ko l'oba ana o, ahnn
Blow horn, blow drum o
Tell everybody Kabiyesi have come o, ahnn
Kabiyesi, you're the one o
Oba oni ko l'oba ana o, ahnn
Blow horn, blow drum o
Tell everybody Kabiyesi have come o, come o
[Verse 2: Falz]
Kabiyesi wa ti de'bi jhor
On white garment, looking like a baby boy
If I lie, k'omi gbe mi lo o
Fresher than all the guys wey been dey before
Mo f'oju ri I, mo ti f'eti gbo o
Dobale, boy, what' you waiting for?
Oba n s'oro, gb'enu so ohun
Mo ni 'Oba n s'oro, gb'enu so ohun'
Steady keelin shows, lai si ibon
They say 'every superhero must have a ding song'
Well, this' it, if I really need one
Let the siren blow, like 'win won'
Let them know there's a new king
Gonna sing, got nobody sick like me
Won' ni symptom, mo ti break rules won
Mo ti curve niche kan
And because say I come, won ti find freedom
[Pre-chorus]
For the Kabiyesi, for the Kabiyesi
Kabiyesi ti de o
Blow horn, blow drum o
Tell everybody Kabiyesi have come o, ahnn
Clear the road, alagbara ti de
Kabiyesi ti de o
Tell everybody Kabiyesi have come o
Blow horn, blow drum o
Tell everybody Kabiyesi have come o, ahnn
[Chorus]
Kabiyesi, you're the one o
Oba oni ko l'oba ana o, ahnn
Blow horn, blow drum o
Tell everybody Kabiyesi have come o, ahnn
Kabiyesi, you're the one o
Oba oni ko l'oba ana o, ahnn
Blow horn, blow drum o
Tell everybody Kabiyesi have come o, come o
[Verse 3: Oyinkansola:]
Kabiyesi o, a yika otun, a yika osi
Ase oto l'owo, Oba mi, a f'ade re'ra
Oba mi, a yo kele, kele, ta ni yo re?
Kere o, so n'ile, k'alejo
K'eku'le k'o gbo, k'o so fun t'oko
Atoto, arere, Oba yin ti de
Kabiyesi o
Omo arugbo ode, ti n f'ayo fa a
Sebi, ogboju ode ni baba re n se?
Baba re, ogboju ode, otopin, to pinpin
Atu won ka ni bi won ti n da'na 'ro
Bi o ba dun, bi o dun kukute
Ti o ba ti y'ibon, paa-ile wo
Kabiyesi o, e o ri awon abanise, ma banise mo
Won a ni 'ahh, Oba wa go o'
Oba mi; abanija, ma jebi
O jaju m'oni, k'o to m'oni je e
E yago l'ona, eyin afojurini
Kabiyesi o, o kare, o kare
Ise awon baba re, ko ni ye mo o n di I
