(Oya, listen now)
Mokoshe on this one.
Sometimes the road dey tough, I know
But you no fit give up, no dulling
Ehen, see gobe but we go overcome
I sit down dey look at the ceiling today
Thinking 'bout the bills and the debts I for pay
I said to myself, 'Why I dey struggle so much?'
Feeling like my dreams dem no fit ever touch
Every morning wake up, I just wan sleep back
Feeling like the world dey throw me off track
But then I hear a sound, a beat from the street
Giving me the rhythm to stand on my feet
Rise up, rise up, no look back again
You are a star, shine through the rain
No mind the struggle, no mind the pain
Your time is coming, break every chain
(E choke!)
Rise up, rise up, you go make it through
The light inside you is waiting for you
I remember the days when I feel so low
Thinking that the wind of grace no fit blow
But omo, life is a mountain, you climb till you reach
Forget the bad vibes and what the haters go preach
Take one step, then another one, yeah
Push till you see that the sky is so clear
Rise up, rise up, no look back again
You are a star, shine through the rain
No mind the struggle, no mind the pain
Your time is coming, break every chain
(See this one oh!)
Rise up, rise up, you go make it through
The light inside you is waiting for you
No retreat, no surrender, we move today
Whatever the trouble, we cast it away
Greater is He that is living in me
I know that my future is meant to be free
Rise up, rise up, no look back again
You are a star, shine through the rain
No mind the struggle, no mind the pain
Your time is coming, break every chain
(No dulling!)
Rise up, rise up, you go make it through
The light inside you is waiting for you
Yeah, you winning
No wahala, keep the ginger
Everything go soft, just wait and see
(Oya, rise!)
We moving higher, no looking back
(On God!) That's the voice
