I don tire oh, ea non blo sékpé

Ovi agnon wé fo dé (I don tire oh)

Medaho, ovi ayon wé fodé

Yokpo tché, ovi ayon wé fodé

Dekpé non, ovi ayon wé fodé

Dekpé non, ovi ayon wé fodé, 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

Respеct is reciprocal, is reciprocal

Respеct is reciprocal

Soro soke

Werey dey disguise

I don tire, tire oh

As I dey look your eyes, eh (I dey look your eyes)

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)

I don tire oh (tire, tire, why you too dey lie?)

I don tire oh (tire, tire, tire for the lamba)

I don tire oh, tire, tire (tire, tire, why you too dey lie? My Oga)

Respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal

Respect 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 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

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)
