Rise up

Through the darkest times (Omo I rise) Man go fall ten times (But me I rise) Through the coldest nights I dey talk to self Doubt for my chest like bullet for vest Man dey drown no light no rest But Baba God still dey put me to test No food for plate no bed just ground No hope just pain just stress no sound But inside the dark I dey find my way Every scar wey I get omo now e dey pay Dem say "Boy you no go make am" (Lie!) Dem say "Music no go take am" (Try!) Now my voice dey shake foundation From Lagos streets to world rotation Watch me rise up! (Stand up!) Through the fire through the fight! (No retreat!) Watch me rise up! (Stand tall!) Till my voice reach Heaven's height! (No defeat!) Say I rise up! (Higher!) From the bottom to the throne! (See me shine!) Watch me rise up! (Fire!) Breaking chains and standing strong! (This my time!) Man dey talk say I no fit climb Now my name dey spread like crime Man dey fight but me I dey time Omo no rush me I dey prime Started from nothing omo I grind Pain be my teacher omo I sign Every loss omo be like line Me I connect me I define No fit break omo I dey hold Dem try test omo dem be cold Every day be like war zone But me I dey move like I be stone Dem dey cap but omo I no hear Me I dey fly omo no fear See my past omo be nightmare But now I dey stand omo I swear! Now I stand before you testimony clear Every fall every scar every drop of tear Dem try bury me but I root too deep Now I grow tall omo I no fit sleep See my fire e dey burn too strong Even system no fit hold me long Dem go watch dem go see dem go fear Cuz I rise till my name reach air! Watch me rise up! (Stand up!) Through the fire through the fight! (No retreat!) Watch me rise up! (Stand tall!) Till my voice reach Heaven's height! (No defeat!) Say I rise up! (Higher!) From the bottom to the throne! (See me shine!) Watch me rise up! (Fire!) Breaking chains and standing strong! (This my time!) Through the darkest valleys (Keep the faith) To the highest mountains (Reach the stars) Omo I never surrender
