I hail from a little town
condition wan knocked me down
Ómó I come dey frown
I try turn my life around
I wan stand out from the crowd
something wan hold me down
I come find a way around
wan make my people proud
Folks no wan believe me
some think I am silly
mates them just dey mock me
but victory is all am dreaming
friends them no gree with) me
some try to confuse me
I say would never give in
Now my victory is the talk of town
I 1st chop some blow (Ésha mó)
Some Bros tell me no (Ésha mó)
but now I get big doo (Ésha mó)
Now am the be biggest show (Ésha mó)
If your time is slow
make you no give up hope
If you won find raw gold

Victory *4
My head is fit for crown
I no wan sit down for ground
I love laughter I no wan frown
no wan let my people down
I know what I'm staking
everyday I'm learning
experience I'm gaining
confidence is building
(One by one am counting)
(bit by bit am climbing)
( some try to disract me
but victory is all am seeing
( step by step I'm moving)
(hard work no fit kill me)
I say would never give in
Now my victory is the talk of town

Some Bros tell me no (Ésha mó)

If your time is slow
make you no give up hope
If you won find raw gold

As I breath I must live on
I've won cuz I'm still strong.

whichever way, make you no give up
As you breath you must to move on
You go win if you're still strong
I 1st chop some blow (Ésha mó)
Some Bros tell me no (Ésha mó)
Now I don get big doo (Ésha mó)
Now am the be biggest show (Ésha mó)
