This record feels like a proud nod to roots and everyday hustle. Dr. SID uses the idea of Surulere not just as a place, but as a symbol of beginnings, grind, and community. The lyrics speak to coming from a familiar environment where dreams are shaped by struggle, patience, and belief in something bigger.
Don Jazzy’s presence adds weight to that message. His verse comes across as reflective and confident, reinforcing the idea of rising from familiar streets into success. The production stays upbeat and warm, making the record feel celebratory without losing its sincerity.

[Verse 1: Dr SID]
Say at the end of the day dem go pass out
No go tire na them go tap out
When they see me, dem dey shout out
'Cause I dey give them the money like e be handout, eh
Na our destiny to stand out
Omo Ọlọ́run lo ṣe, una go find out, eh
Dem think say I go die out
Whether you like it or not, I go dey cash out
Ni si, t'aba n ṣere
Wọ́n bere ta lon ṣere
Ma ma fi wa ṣere, o ṣa mo Dr SID ti gbe túntún de
Oya je ka ṣere

E dìde oya make we dey let them know say

[Verse 2: Dr SID]
I don make mistakes, I don grow
I don learn some things, I no know
So I thank God I still dey here
Una dey look but you no know say
E don tey the days wey I dey cry out, eh
My fire no go die out
Enemies dem want me to bow out
But my rivers of blessing will never dry out
Ni si, t'aba n ṣere
