Verse 1
*******
Growing up in the 'burbs of Ibadan, if you wanna know that's a city in Nigeria
Used to hang out with my boys from da 'hood, used to talk about dem "honeys"
How to pari ise lori won (sleep with them)
And with the tact and the skills of a leader
Used to share the "loot", just so ko ma ba di ija (so things won’t turn into a fight)
And just in case there was ever an ija (a fight)
Always made sure there was someone to laja (resolve the fight)

Was a true chamelion, one in a million
But ah, but ah, but ah, let me tell you what God can do

Bridge:
*******
Although na woman wey I go find eh (I went to look for women)
But na Holyghost come blow mah mind oh (but itwas the Holyghost that “found” me)
If it wasn't for the mercy of the Lord
Where would I be - man for don pai (I would have died)
But the moral of my story is this
Inspite of what I really went to find
I'm here to say, I'm here to say that
Holyghost love made a way for me
And I'm here to say that Holyghost loving
Will do the same for you
I'm here to say the mercy of God did it through and through

Verse 2
*******
So now that I'm saved, but temptation still comes way
A part of me is struggling, but I know that I've been set free
I wanna have my cake and it too, but that was when I heard Him say

Kilowade t'o nfi se bayi simi (why are you treating Me this way)
Kilowade t'o nfi koro simi lenu (why reject my instructions)
Kilowade (what’s the reason) you keep wanting to do your own thing
Kilowade (what’s the reason) you keep wanting to go your own way

If you love me so
You for realize that I've been right here before
So when temptation come up against you
You will overcome

If U love me so
You for realize that I've been right here before
So when temptation come up against you
You will overcome if you do it like I did
