(« You know how to dance,
You know how to move
with grace and agility. »)
Eh eh
Dignity, can save you or kill you
Dignity, I wanna hold on to you
Dignity, can hurt you or heal you
Dignity, I wanna hold on to you
Were you dey yesterday?
When the gunman shoot men down
No retreat, no surrender
If them push you no fall down
Many come, many go
We no dey sleep we dey for road
We come in peace
Not in pieces
O yeah, yeah Oga
Respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal
Respect is reciprocal
My Oga, oh oh oh
Respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal
Respect is reciprocal

As I dey look your eyes eh

Giant of Africa
When life go betta
You promise me tomorrow
But nobody sees tomorrow
I don tire oh
Tire tire tire for the lamba

Tire tire, why you to dey lie

Tire tire tire for the lamba

Tire tire, why you to dey lie
My Oga
Respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal

My Oga, oh oh oh
Respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal
Respect is reciprocal
Were you dey yesterday?
When the gunman shoot men down
No retreat, no surrender
If dem push you no fall down
Many come, many go
We no dey sleep we dey for road
We come in peace
Not in pieces
O yeah, yeah Oga
A glimpse of hope in humanity
The last frontier of our own sanity
Spread your love to all equally
And plant the seeds of radical beauty
The wind will blow
A light will show
Real Beauty
On a brand new day
The wind will blow
A light will show
Real Beauty
On a brand new day
It will glow
On a brand new day
A clear way
On a brand new day
It will glow
On a brand new day
We’ll get down
On a brand new day
Walk with your head straight!
Respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal
Stand with your head straight!
Respect is reciprocal
Walk with your head straight!
Respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal
Stand with your head straight!
Respect is reciprocal
