Because e be like say e don dey happen

No shaking, nothing dey happen

Nobody wan kpai, but dem wan go heaven

So now, all you gat to do is rise up, and get up

For what you believe in, stand up

If it seems like you're sleeping, rise up

You gat to fight for yourself

Before you find yourself by yourself with your hands up

You gotta be strong, you gotta hold on

You gotta keep keeping on

You got to realise say, it is all man for himself

There is no time to waste, there's a lot of things that needs to be done

And pray to God to give you the wisdom

To understand where you come from

And pray to God to give you the strength that you need to proceed, eh

And to teach you to believe in yourself

Teach you to depend on nobody else

Teach you to dey soji yourself

Teach you to know that your health is your wealth and

Teach you to understand that your destiny is in your hands

Teach you to dey shine your eyes and realise say (eh)

It is all man for himself
