(Ad-lib: Oya, listen up now)
(Ad-lib: No dulling, let’s go)
Yeah, Yaya, you know how it goes
Listen to the words, my brother
Yaya, you be wayoo man, you like to play
Always stubborn, you no dey hear word, no matter what I say
Sometimes you dey hide, but the truth it come to light
Man, you need to change your ways and do what’s right
You be my brother, so I have to tell you straight
Before you find yourself outside of the golden gate
Yaya, oh Yaya, stop the wayoo business now
Monafiki, no be the way to take a bow
Be a good boy, let the positive energy flow
'Cause wayoo no dey pay, everybody come to know
Yaya, keep it real, let the blessing start to show
Yeah, be a good boy, let the negative go
Jomo told me, say Yaya, stop the double play
Don't be monafiki, walk a better path each day
People dey watch you, they see all the things you do
Your reputation is the only thing that belongs to you
See, the street is cold, you no need the extra stress
Choose the path of honor, and you surely find success
Yaya, oh Yaya, stop the wayoo business now
Monafiki, no be the way to take a bow
Be a good boy, let the positive energy flow
'Cause wayoo no dey pay, everybody come to know
Yaya, keep it real, let the blessing start to show
Yeah, be a good boy, let the negative go
Baraka, dehaiki, Jomo, we wish you well
Break the chains of the story you trying to tell
Omo, wake up, the world is waiting for your shine
Just step up, Yaya, and cross the finish line
No wahala if you choose to turn around today
Focus on the hustle and keep the bad vibes away
See this one, he trying to change his life for good
Stand up tall, Yaya, just like a brother should
(Ad-lib: That's right!)
(Ad-lib: No competition!)
Yaya, oh Yaya, stop the wayoo business now
Monafiki, no be the way to take a bow
Be a good boy, let the positive energy flow
'Cause wayoo no dey pay, everybody come to know
Yaya, keep it real, let the blessing start to show
Yeah, be a good boy, let the negative go
Yaya, just be a good man, yeah
Stop the wayoo, focus on the blessing
Baraka for you, my brother
