This my hands oh!

This my hands!

I no wan use am do bad thing oh, Aaaaah God

As I dey hustle, dey pray

Na you know oh God, wetin I face daily

[Warri tone – Sung with passion / Afrobeats Swell]

This my hands, e don touch many tins

From pure water to pepper soup, waka full sun for greens

Still dey clean, I no dey thief, Mama say “Pikin hold your lane”

Make your hand nor stain, nor bring shame

So I dey pray every night, this hand go bless, e no go chain

[Gritty Flow – Beat enters subtle Trap element]

Started this game, rubber shoe for Okumagba street

Real life hustle, no cartoon, some boys dey beg for street

Dem go para if I talk say e no dey, think say I dey form boss

But I still dey manage, still dey patch, still dey kneel down beg God

Make this my hustle no go vanish, my destiny no be lost

[All – Anthem street chorus, call & response / Groove Lift]

See, everybody don turn off for me for the street oh

(Just because I no get the money)

Dem no send me again, dem dey look me funny

Many eyes dey on me for the street

(Some dey think say I don blow oh)

But na packaging dey disguise, I still dey pray for the dough oh

Ahhh ahhh, Life hard but I still dey go

[Deep Warri Advice – Spoken Word / Beat subsides]

One baba tell me: “Life na opportunity, if you jam am

Hold am like tomorrow no dey!"

Your followers dey hail you, dem go mute if dem hear say you kpai

So I dey hold my head, move with sense, life na seriouslity

No be play for fence!

[Vocal Harmonies – Melodic Shift]

Every sweat, every grind, na for a brighter sun

This hands go build something, when the day is done

Dem talk say I no fit, but my spirit strong like iron

Na the struggle go make my story shine, for everyone

[Repeat Softly with backup singers – Soulful / Fade-Out]

This my hands

This my hands

I no wan use am do bad thing oh, my God

Cover me, guide me, bless me
