Lyrics
Some days when I wake up
Expressing difficulty in facing the day
It be like say I no go make am
Feeling uncertain about achieving success
Some days it just feels like
Some days feeling like life is passing by
This life passes me by
Expressing a sense of being left behind in life
Somedays I can hear it
Hearing discouraging thoughts
Telling me boy you can't do it
Inner voice saying "you can't do it"
But I've got to keep on pushing
Determined to persist and overcome challenges
Just rise and fight right through it
Commitment to continue fighting through difficulties
So
Transition to gratitude and reflection
Ese baba
Expressing gratitude, seeking forgiveness, acknowledging mistakes, and affirming a relationship with a higher power
Ese baba
-For all of that you have done
-Please forgive me
-I've made mistakes but
-I'm always still your son
-Everybody can't be great
Acknowledging individual uniqueness and potential
But I know that's not my fate
-But just in case
Expressing uncertainty and invoking a divine presence
All I've got to say is
-Olorun maje
Repetition of the plea "Olorun maje" (God, don't let it happen)
Olorun maje
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje oh
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje oh
-Everybody's got their vision
Encouraging perseverance, spreading positivity, and embracing one's purpose
Hopes and their dreams
-They believe in
-But it's so hard
-To see the end of the road
-We must keep the fight
-Try and do what right
-We must spread our light
-So
Emphasizing the importance of gratitude and doing things right in life
Get only one life
-So best do it right
-Be thankful tonight
-Oh
Repetition of the plea "Olorun maje" with acknowledgment of mistakes
So
-Ese baba
-Ese baba
-For all of that you have done
-Please forgive me
-I've made mistakes but
-I'm always still your son
-Everybody can't be great
-But I know that's not my fate
-But just in case
-All I've got to say is
-Olorun maje
Continuation of the plea with an expression of vulnerability
Olorun maje
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje oh
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje oh
-Life gives and takes
Highlighting the unpredictable nature of life and the need to be aware
It doesn't wait
-Open your eyes
-And see what waits
-Everybody can be great
Emphasizing that greatness is not determined by others' opinions
It's not about what they say
-But just incase
Repetition of the plea "Olorun maje" with a reminder of individual sayings
All I've got to say is
-Olorun maje
Continuation of the plea with a sense of urgency and humility
Olorun maje
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje oh
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje
-Olorun maje oh
-Re be re be re be
Repetition of rhythmic phrases, expressing resilience and defiance against negative influences
Ro bo ro bo re be re be
-Re be re be re be
-Ro bo ro bo re be re be
-Oh they cannot steal your fate
-No matter what they say
-All I've got to say is
Final affirmation of resilience and a statement against external influences
