I have seen frowns
I have seen many men wearing kings crowns
As we dey street, Baba some dey estate
Some dey big office, we dey watch gate
Some dey chop food, we dey wash plates
But without you, baba, it's a lost case
As you don show father, make I prostrate
You don bless this your boy with enough grace
You dey control things since my Jos days
Now, you got this son seeking out the first place
Baba dey my front cause i know say i go reach
Trouble dey everywhere like Lebanese
As I climb up higher, more enemies
But like Kennis in 1999, you get remedy

Ah! Father, this town
I've been around
I have seen ups
I have seen downs
I have seen smiles
I have seen frowns
I have seen many men wearing kings' crowns
While we're on the street, Father, some are in estates
Some are in big offices, we're watching gates
Some are eating food, we're washing plates
But without you, Father, it's a lost case
As you've shown me favor, let me prostrate
You've blessed this boy of yours with enough grace
You've been controlling things since my Jos days
Now, you've got this son seeking out the first place
Father be in front of me because I know I'll reach
Trouble is everywhere like Lebanese
As I climb up higher, more enemies
But like Kennis in 1999, you have the remedy

Some praise man to get a share
They won't use me for a holocaust
If they want to ride someone, they should join a polo club
I won't kneel for any man
One good man to save us, we can't find
We have Patience for Goodluck to make sense
But still our parents struggle to pay rent
Father be behind me, so I have no fear
You show me the road, let's go there
Because you made me, because you saved me
It's like HD, your blessing is so clear
Ah! and it's not what I deserve
I'm in the deep end because my grace is reserved
I have plenty when everything is scarce
You put me first, so I would never be last
You are the chairman

My Oritse, yeah
Father, they're searching for us
They're chasing us for what they haven't seen
For the money we're hustling
On the street, getting money now
And they're the ones who chased us when we were looking for an entry
Eh yeah oh oh, my beloved, yeah
Ah yeah yeah yeah
Father, take them home
Take them away
I will lift up my eyes to the hills
From where cometh my help
My help cometh from the Lord
The Lord made heaven and earth
He would not let my foot slip
He who watches over me does not slumber
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You bless me, you're the chairman
My Father, I'm grateful
