(Talking drum rhythm fades in)
Yeah, yeah
Omo, the memories just dey rush back
Kaduna days, we been living good
This one for the gang, you feel me?
I dey sit down today, dey look at the sky
Barnawa-Shagari, those days never die
We dey young, we dey wild, we dey full of the grace
Just simple living in that low-cost space
Abdulaziz Sarkin Samari, you still dey stand tall?
Alhaji Kashi Ubandawaki, we recall it all
Josiah Bako, Ibrahim Magayaki, my brothers in crime
Philemon, the memories, they freeze in time
Oh, the streets of Kaduna, the bond that we share
From Malawi Crescent, yeah, we know that we were there
Uganda, Zambia, Angola, the football was gold
Stories of brothers and sisters, never grow old
We chasing the dreams, wishing blessings on all
To those who have gone, may the Lord heed your call
Binta Aruwa, Dan Danjuma, Muhammad Alfa too
Abdulrazaq Tijjani, Binta Aliyu, we miss you
Jehu da QS, you were part of the crew
If your name no appear, abeg, I dey apologize to you
We watching Indian films until the morning light
Inter-street football, we dey play with our might
Communal living, sharing food, sharing joy
Every girl was a queen, every boy was a boy
So many faces, so many years gone by
Life took us places, beneath a different sky
But the root stays deep, where the foundation lay
May success find you all in your own special way
Rest in peace to the ones that we lost along the road
May your souls find the comfort, in the Father’s abode
It’s a long journey, but we keep the fire bright
Even when the road dark, we go find the light
Barnawa spirit, it dey live inside my chest
Sending love to the ones who put us to the test
We move forward now, with the lessons we learned
For the love and the life that we honestly earned
Special dedication from your pal, Abdulfatai Bada
Stay blessed always, brothers and sisters
No dulling, we keep moving
Cheers to the old days
(Fading out with talking drum and guitar)
Barnawa-Shagari, forever in the heart
Omo, we rise.
