Lyrics
See as mama dey work
Observing the mother's effort in working hard
To send you go obodoyibo
Working hard to send someone abroad
Papa don sell him land
Father has sold his land to ensure no suffering
Make you no suffer at all
To prevent any form of hardship
Den don tire for Naija
Others are exhausted in Nigeria
Den wan make your life better
Others desire an improved life
See as we dey run comot from our own home
Portraying the act of leaving one's homeland
Life life life life
Repetition emphasizing the essence of life
Life life life life
-London calling America calling oh
Reiterating calls from London and America
London calling America calling oh
-London calling America calling oh
-Life life overseas
Life abroad depicted in repetition
Life life overseas
-Life life overseas
-See as we dey run comot
Continuation of leaving the homeland
Halele to the abroad
Celebrating departure to a foreign land
People dey give testimony
People sharing success stories about the visa lottery
Visa lottery e don enter oh
Excitement about entering the visa lottery
Den don tire for Naija
Others also fatigued with Nigeria
Den wan make their life better
Desire for an improved life for themselves
See as we dey run comot
Reiteration of leaving home
From our own home
-Life life life life
Repetition stressing the significance of life
Life life life life
-London calling America calling oh
Repeating the calls from London and America
London calling America calling oh
-London calling America calling oh
-London calling America calling oh
-Life life overseas
Repeated depiction of life overseas
Life life overseas
-Life life overseas
