NAIJA Lyrics


Verse 1
I was born and bred inside Nigeria
The land of the people with naira power
The land of the people with bukuru power
The land of the people with gidigidi power
This is the land of the crude oil powers
This is the land of the business powers
This is the land of the Nollywood powers
This is the land of the African powers
Na we be the people with Christian power
Na we be the people with Islamic power
So don’t go and talk shit about Nigeria
We are Nigeria we love Nigeria


Verse 2
Inside Nigeria – na here e dey shelle
Inside Nigeria – onweghi ihe ga eme
Inside Nigeria – na baa wahala
Inside Nigeria – na bete beta beta
Our women and the girls – dem full with swagger
Our men and the boys – dey play with Hummers
Our business and commerce – dey move walla walla
Our cities and streets – dey shine vavavava
So don’t go and talk shit about Nigeria
So don’t go about and dey spoil Nigeria
We are Nigeria we love Nigeria
Its Nigeria for life we no go retire
Good or bad we no go retire
Heaven or hell we no go retire

Verse 3
Nigeria na your fatherland and you dey for America
Naija na your fatherland and you dey for another land
If you love Naija let me see your hands up...  Put your hands up
Green white green na the color
Green stand for agriculture
Black and dark na we color
Na our nature
The labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain

Hook
I believe I go make am here – NAIJA
Nigeria is the place to be – NAIJA
I no go ever turn my back – NAIJA
It’s me and Nigeria for life – NAIJA


Chorus
Oh yeah – Shout am make dem hear
Oh yeah – I say shout am make dem hear
