Somе dey big office we dеy watch gate
Some dey chop food we dey wash plates
But without you baba it's a lost case
As you don show father make I prostrate
You don bless this your boy with enough grace
You dey control things since my Jos days
Now you got this son seeking out the first place
Baba dey my front cause l know say l go reach

One good man to save us we can't find
We get Patience for Goodluck to make sense
But still our parents dey struggle to pay rent

You show me road make we show there
Because you made me because you saved me

The Lord will protect your coming and your going
Both now and forever
