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)

My head is fit for crown

but victory is all am seeing
