Oya! See gobe!
Dem say I no go make am, but look me now, ehn!
Dem try to put me down, dem talk all di talk
Say my dreams too big, say I no fit walk di walk
But I get my ginger, steady on my grind,
Every step I dey take, leaving dem behind.
From di bottom I rise, through di struggle I fight,
Now di whole world dey see, I dey shine so bright.
(Ah-ah!) You can't stop my shine, no, you cannot!
My light too strong, e don pass their plot.
I dey move steady, nobody fit halt,
My destiny's written, it's not by default.
See me dey ball, omo, no wahala,
My glory don come, dem go hear my gbedu!
Plenty obstacles, plenty wahala,
But my spirit strong, I no dey hala.
I learn from my falls, I stand up again,
Turning all di pain into pure gain.
Every hater dey watch, dem dey vex for their mind,
As I dey achieve wetin dem left behind.
(Ehen!) You can't stop my shine, no, you cannot!
My light too strong, e don pass their plot.
I dey move steady, nobody fit halt,
My destiny's written, it's not by default.
See me dey ball, omo, no wahala,
My glory don come, dem go hear my gbedu!
No dulling for here, no dulling for here.
My shine too bright, oya, clear di way!
(Who send you?!)
