Cookout
Cheers to all the battles we've won
And every struggle overcome
Mommy daddy komole
Favor fell down
They knew we would make it some way
Fighting hard to fake it some days
For me my generation
For better days ahead
Now, when we jo we go move good
Blessings they come and we go enjoy joy
Make we lift our hands
Glory to The One who had the plan
For me to be stuck in the middle
Between two worlds
Til I embraced the middle ahh
So why should I choose?
Now every cookout we play our favorite tunes like
Play me that Motown and Mavin
Play me that Marvin Gaye
With some Sunny Ade
Shina, Fela, Sade
Play me that soul music
So I f I'm being honest may be too Naija for Chi city and too Chitown for Las Gidi
But imma still get down, get down,
get down down down
Because I Dey here with my people
Get down Get down Get down down down
Because I Dey here
With my people
With my people yeah
Never easy being all alone
Naija girl it was me against the world
All around me, fighting for my own place to fit in
Till I realized it was me
Who was never meant to fit
I'll be the link my story's meant to bridge
Forever, Young, Black, proud and African
(Young Black, proud and African, And African)
Now, when we chop we go chop good
Cuz the money we hustle we go enjoy joy
Make we lift our hands
Glory to The One who had the plan
For me to be stuck in the middle
Between two worlds
Til I embraced the middle ahh
So why I gotta choose?
Cuz every cookout we eat our favorite foods like
Gimme some candy yams, egusi
Bring me some Jollof rice
With some dodo that's right
Asaro and meat pie
Jor pass me that macaroni and cheese
And if I'm being honest may be too Naija for Chi city and too Chitown for Las Gidi
(Jor jor pass me that macaroni and cheese)
(Play me play me some of that Soul music)
(May be too Naija for Chi city and too Chitown for Las Gidi)
But imma still get down, get down,
Get down down down
Because I Dey here with my people
Get down Get down Get down down down
Because I Dey here
