Owo dey waka, waka, no time to stay

Verse

Four a.m. and the market dey wake

Generator humming, low buzz for the gate

Naira notes counting under phone light

You dey smile like say money never tight

Okada engine warm for my palm

Your gele tied loose, your voice dey calm

Fish smoke rising past the stall

We dey move before the sun rise at all

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why we never rest, oh

Pocket full but heart still restless, oh

Counting cash but counting you too

Owo dey waka, so we do

Chorus

Owo dey waka, waka, no time to stay

Money dey move, we dey move the same way

Owo dey waka, waka, dawn to dawn

Hold my hand, make the hustle carry us on

Verse

Bridge lamp orange on your gold ring

Danfo horn sound like a wedding thing

Change dey pass from your hand to mine

Your perfume mixing with kerosene shine

Agbero shout for the roadside lane

You dey laugh, say na so we gain

Six locations before the heat

Still your kiss taste sweeter than the street

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why we never rest, oh

Pocket full but heart still restless, oh

Counting cash but counting you too

Owo dey waka, so we do

Chorus

Owo dey waka, waka, no time to stay

Money dey move, we dey move the same way

Owo dey waka, waka, dawn to dawn

Hold my hand, make the hustle carry us on

Bridge

No be the cash wey I dey chase

Na the way you steady my pace

Money go come, money go go

But this one thing, I no go let it go

Chorus

Owo dey waka, waka, no time to stay

Money dey move, we dey move the same way

Owo dey waka, waka, dawn to dawn

Hold my hand, make the hustle carry us on
