[Whistling]
Eh!...Chineke me!... Ew!
Ala oyi e! (4x)
Verse 1
See, for instance
Say I be one wey dey give chance
Say I be one wey dey make plans
For all man to benefit abi
To make we disagree
I fit to create chance
But now I am not of importance
Cos now I am looking from a distance
And that's why you give them the chance
To do all that and
To turns to victim of circumstance
Them just dey ignore our existence
Them take excuse dey use excuse to buy chance
Ai, like them no know say we dey
Them dey use us dey play
As we get a sip of singlance ?
When we stand for resistance
All in the act of exploitance
Abi we just be living in a trance, land
Oh my God!
Ala oyi e!
Chorus
If you feel what am feeling
If you feeling my flow
And you know say it is so
Ala oyi e!
In your house o or you in a motor
And you care about it, so
Ala oyi e!
This thing is affecting your being
And is killing your soul
Ala oyi e!
Ala oyi e!
For the thing wey you see
Wey edey make you ala oyi e!
See this type of thing we we dey feel
Wey edey make we dey want to dey
Ala oyi e!
Even if I want to dey cheat
I go still dey want to dey
Ala oyi e!
Stand, look around you
And I bet you go dey want to dey
To dey ala oyi e!.
Ala oyi e!
For the thing wey u see wey edey make you ala oyi e!
Verse 2
For instance
Say na me be Baale of Nigerians
Say I go dey respect your own stance
Say I go create a scenery for better to plenty
So dey make we dey give chance
Instead of to dey pack the money go France
To make suffer to full in abundance
To make me to run run away
To a place where ebi say
I go dey feel like Europeans
Where them go respect my skills for instance
Where them no go just dey dey play pranks
On top of people wey work the way
Wey give them the key
To dey chop to their substance
When them dey just we be freelance
Their looting no dey give us assurance
Repentance no dey their plans eh
Edey create annoyance for my heart
So ala oyi e!
Repeat Chorus
Ala oyi e (4x)
Verse 3
Make we dey give chance
Instead of to gather money
Wey edey go France
Ala oyi e! till fade
Chineke e!
