As you dey so
U dey bow ur head
As u dey there so
U dey shed those tears
My broda make u stand up
This life u got nothing to loose
My sister make u wake up
Journey wen u don waka no be in vain
Me I know say
You dey work well well
You don sweat well well; suffer suffer well well
Waka waka well well
Why my people dey suffa for this Naija
Why my people dey suffa for Africa
For the people of the ghettos
Na blood shed and sorrow dey rain
Dem don blind our eyes with dem wordly things
Say the battle never finish oh it just begins
Saro-Wiwa talk am, Azikiwe talk am Awolowo talk am
U na no dey hear u fit kill the messenger
But u no fit kill the message
Kill me messenger, u no fit kill the message
