Lyrics: You Dey Kampe By Jazzsari
Na life tori You dey halla say you no get-e work You go school must you dey feel useless What about the person wey no go school Yet him dey make him business Instead of complaining Make you siddon well, do some arranging So that life no go show you pepper That’s why I’m saying Nothing do you You dey kampe Nothing do you-uh You dey kampe For as long as you dey waka And you still dey chop As long as you dey think well Papa dey for your side You dey kampe-eh Uh uh uh uh uh Fa la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la
Na life tori Na because of hardship dem think say you don kolo Because you trek town without moto People no dey even give you face You sef you wan think say you be mistake But one day story go change Everybody go dey send your message But for now make you cool down Make you dey laugh Make you no frown Because Everything you see for life Somebody don see am before Whether na dry pocket Or no open door Make you no scatter your head Na god dey give us daily bread Understand say you get your own face Nobody fit drag your space Nothing do you You dey kampe Nothing do do do do you You dey kampe For as long as you dey waka And you still dey chop As long as you dey think well Papa dey for your side You dey kampe I say you strong pass dem You strong pass dem o You strong pass dem You strong pass dem o
