I STILL DEY

Bàbá mi!
Mo ṣì wà
(I still dey!)
(Oy-yo-o!)

Na photo I take know your face
O fi mi sílẹ̀, Bàbá mi
You left Naija, Mama stayed
She taught me how to say my name
Ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ wà nínú mi
But this voice, na my own

Bàbá mi, mo ti dàgbà
Mo nífẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ, I no go wait

I still dey, mo ṣì wà
(Mo ṣì wà!)
Bàbá mi, mo ti dàgbà
(Look at me!)
Mo nífẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ, I no go wait
(No go wait!)
My life, my way, mo ṣì wà
(I still dey!)

Oy-da, oy-da, oy-yo-o!
(Mo ṣì wà!)
Oy-da, oy-da, a-a-ah!
(I still dey!)

Mo ti dàgbà, see me in the light
Mama front row with her head held high
Gbọ́ ohùn mi, dem dey shout “Eva!”
See the girl wey you no watch grow

Ọmọ rẹ ni mí, mo nífẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ
But I get my own life to live

I still dey, mo ṣì wà
(Mo ṣì wà!)
Bàbá mi, mo ti dàgbà
(Look at me!)
Mo nífẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ, I no go wait
(No go wait!)
My life, my way, mo ṣì wà
(I still dey!)

Orúkọ mi!
(Eva! Ha!)
Ohùn mi!
(Oy-yo-o! Ha!)

You missed my first words, Bàbá
Now turn the radio up

I still dey, mo ṣì wà
(Mo ṣì wà-a-a!)
Bàbá mi, mo ti dàgbà
(Ọmọ rẹ ni mí!)
Mo nífẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ, I no go wait
(Mo nífẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ!)
My life, my way, mo ṣì wà
(I still dey!)

Ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ, orúkọ mi
(Oy-yo-o! Mo ṣì wà!)
My life, my way
(Eva! I still dey!)

Bàbá, mo ṣì nífẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ
(Oy-yo-o!)
Mo ṣì wà
