Ah! Baba this town, I've been round
I have seen ups, I have seen downs
I have seen smiles, I have seen frowns
I have seen many men wearing king's crowns
As we dey street, Baba some dey estate
Some dey big office, we dey watch gate
Some dey chop food, we dey wash plates
But without you, baba, it's a lost case
As you don show father, make I prostrate
You don bless this your boy with enough grace
You dey control things since my Jos days
Now, you got this son seeking out the first place
Baba dey my front 'cause I know say I go reach
Trouble dey everywhere like Lebanese
As I climb up higher, more enemies
But like Kennis in 1999, you get remedy

Baba, surely goodness and mercy shall follow us
Some dey praise man, make dem follow chop
No be me dem go carry do holocaust
If dem wan ride person, make dem join Polo Club
I no fit kneel down for any mankind
One good man to save us, we can't find
We get Patience for Goodluck to make sense
But still our parents' dey struggle to pay rent
Baba dey my back, make I no fear
Show me road, make we show there
Because you made me, because you saved me
E be like HD, your blessing is so clear
Ah! And no be wetin I deserve
I be in deep end 'cause my grace is reserved
Me, I have plenty when everything is scarce
You put me first, so I never would be last
You be chairman

On the street, getting money now
And na dem dey pursue us that time we dey look for entry, e-ye-oh-oh
Olomi, yea
Ah, ya-ya-ya
Baba, bere wo'le
Sare wo'le won
I will lift up my eyes to the hills
From where cometh my help
My help cometh from the Lord
The Lord which made heaven and earth
He would not let my foot slip
He who watches over me does not slumber
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The sun will not harm you by day nor the moon by night
The Lord will keep you from all harm
He will watch over your life
The Lord will protect your coming and your going, both now and forevermore
