Owo dey waka, waka, no time to stay (Version 2) lyrics
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
