8 O'clock

While the palm wine tapper brings fresh wine
While he brings fresh wine, oh yayy
While he brings fresh wine
Son of Mother Aje (deity of wealth)
Yay, pepper water, ah
The white men call it "Pepper water"
Ahn-ahn, yayy

8 O'clock shouldn't strike (it shouldn't strike)
It shouldn't strike (it shouldn't strike)
8 O'clock shouldn't strike
Don't let it meet us here, it shouldn't strike (e re te te - an exclamation)
8 O'clock shouldn't strike (it shouldn't strike)
It shouldn't strike (it shouldn't strike)
8 O'clock shouldn't strike
May Corona not meet us here, it shouldn't strike (e re te te)

Son of Mother Aje
Ah, they said lockdown will ease on the 4th of May
Congratulations, we're finally free
You've become tired of staying at home
Take your child to the bar, let him enjoy as he pleases
My guys are calling me to come out
Tell Ayoka to give me my Agbada (traditional attire)
When I arrive, I will party hard
God, please provide more money for enjoyment
Ah, before I could call my friends, they had already called
Before I could order drinks, they had already brought cups
The boys are already hyped
The boss has become a child
Even the bricklayer is now a labourer
Call Rasheed to the corner let's connect
Where we are, seven people are at the gate
Everything we need is here for two hours
Let's hurry before it's eight o'clock

Yayy, 8 O'clock shouldn't strike (it shouldn't strike)
It shouldn't strike (it shouldn't strike)
8 O'clock shouldn't strike
Don't let it meet us here, it shouldn't strike (e re te te)
8 O'clock shouldn't strike (it shouldn't strike)
It shouldn't strike (it shouldn't strike)
8 O'clock shouldn't strike
May Corona not meet us here, it shouldn't strike (e re te te)

Ah, Buhari and corona, they have come to a conclusion
No reason for any confusion
You people can go out during the day
But when it's night, stay indoors
Ah, I heard the news myself
Brother corona, we won't die prematurely (we won't oh)
You came to Nigeria, you shut down everywhere
You also came and stole our money
I'm tired oh, God, I'm very tired
You said if we go out, we will be beaten
You could at least let us eat
It's not like the police will feed us
My child came home, I thought she would sleep over
She said if she stayed, it would be game over
She said "Ola, please call an Uber, it's late, I want to leave before it's eight"

Yayy, 8 O'clock shouldn't strike (it shouldn't strike)
It shouldn't strike (it shouldn't strike)
8 O'clock shouldn't strike
Don't let it meet us here, it shouldn't strike (e re te te)
8 O'clock shouldn't strike (it shouldn't strike)
It shouldn't strike (it shouldn't strike)
8 O'clock shouldn't strike
May Corona not meet us here, it shouldn't strike (e re te te)
