Lyrics
Kene nu onye kelu igwe na uwa
Kene nu onye kelu igwe na uwa
Kene nu onye kelu igwe na uwa
Kporo ya isi na ala

Olisa bi na igwe .. papa anam ekene o
Mgbe uche na echegbum
Okwa isilim jebe o
Nyem nku sim febe o
Ife osofa mebe o
As long as na ndi ndu gi ka ezi na unom ga na efe kwa o
So gi kam na ekpelu ..
Nekwa obim we’re o
Maka emefe gom o
Papa echefunam o
Okwa imecha chetam
Welu ngozi netam
Efulum ichota m
Mpa ikechi wrapper m

Ofia ana agbalu oso
Bu Ofia nje bute agu
Fa asi nam melu alu
Ife m na ekwu na onu
Kama nga fe chi ozo
Ka mai kwa mbulu onu
Site Nike ebube chuwku emego boys na ewuzi oku…
Anozim na uso
Nnem si na ofuya na nlo
Ezege eze ebu na afo
Edelu Afam a na onwa
Nwa omelora na awka
Anom na iru oche kuo pa
Make everything Dey proper
Ekwensu ekpom na okpa

Gba ndilo nkiti fa na eme na nkiti
Watch my cup over flow oga wa ka mgbidi
udu akona milli
Egbe ebuna nrim o
Akwa abiana bem
Uwa eruna isim
it’s my season
I try to show you reason
Fa fu fa ne kilizim
And dem been no believe in
Ima ha ma ebuwudim
Everyday I be wining
Ina afukwa oku isim
The realest ever seen
Nekwa obim o
So chi makwa obim o
Nna Riwe otito
Okwa Ndaba ijimo
Na u Dey Run the show
Make I no go below
Maka Ogbajuo dolom o
Ibu Obata obiye o
Adim active
Sam ka jhon the baptist
E breaki gom the captive
E change gom the tactics
Ekwensu gam na azu
Cassette m afia na azu
We buyie onye ajulu aju
Kuba ka nwa akwo na azu

Esim kam Kele gi
Nam ama yo gi ihe tata
Mana oga Ebum aka
Okem ga elum aka
Gozie family mo
Gozie lum fans mo
Bulie salary ha o
Mpa Gozielum men mo

Anyi sili onwu
Nye fa ezigbo ndumodu
Si fa jisike na olu
Anyi ama li aku na onwu

Melu na mputa iru ogu
Ifuna aputam olu
Ifuna Amutam olu
Ifu na aka kwum na oku
Asi na abum afifia ndi imi aka efo gom
Obuna egwu di ha na aka egwu aka ekpo gom
Uwa aka eko gom

Ona abanye gbojom
Umu uwa na ama aka

Chim melum Ada ada
Kita abum nna nwa
Nwa amuta na nma
Obi na igwe de me
Ife Nile imelu’m
I want to say I’m grateful

Kene nu onye kelu igwe na uwa
Kene nu onye kelu igwe na uwa
Kene nu onye kelu igwe na uwa
Kporo ya isi na ala
Emma bu agu na echemba
Ogodo buscheda
Ino makwa obi di ude
Kporo ya isi na ala

Ezege you've just saved me from Depression... This song made me realise how selfish I've been, God have been Good to me but I've been blinded by the suffering around to actually count my blessings and it lead to several levels of depression but this Song resonates with me and have Given me back the Hope I lost.... Thank you Phyno

God bless you for me

*Please note some translations done here are interpreted in context because there's hardly a way to literally translate the words to English without losing it's lyrical potency in the song because Phyno's rap language is filled with so many metaphors and idioms. My translation didn't do justice to what he's actually saying but it atleast gives you a window into the Igbo language apartment he's rapping from and don't forget to say a big Amen to the prayers he sent out to his fans. May you reap the fruits of your labour. 😊
