Verse 1
Baby, maybe there's a different kind of spirit about you
Or maybe, baby, it's the way you smile every time I make you to
I can't understand wetin you do
Wey edey make me feel iray
But if I ever tell a tie, make I buy
I dey trip for you mailay
After all it is said and done
You don't even show me you carry di don
You don't even make me feel like your number one
You don't even try to show me my position
It is only fair that you should let me know
You should let me know how you feel about me so
I have had enough of your coming
I am dying for your loving
Chorus
I am calling you ole รข€˜cuz you stole my heart away
Cuz I gave all my life to you
Girl, I pump your gbagbo on tu
If you really want me so
Then, baby you should le me know
If that was only me, I will let you know I love so
That is not the way the story should go
Cuz it feels good, loving somebody
And somebody loves you back
Cuz it feels good, needing somebody
And somebody needs you back, needs you back
Verse 2
Maybe, baby, you are scared of letting go of your emotions
Maybe, baby, you just trying to give I and I some attention
I've been waiting as you sleep patiently
To tell me your decision, my position
But I got this funny feeling, I'll say that my heart is in redemption
Claim what you get before I gets too late
But the way way you dey do, ebe like you get plenty faith
Carry me along, you know I got your back
Helping, if you are wrong, baby, have no fear
It is only fair that you should let me know
You should let me know how you feel about me so
I have had enough of your coming
I am dying for your loving
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
Mami, you might as well, take my body and soul
Cuz you got everything else under control
I am trapped behind bars, mami, won't let me out of her control
So crazy like that, Kelly Rowland

Fire On The Mountain - by Asa
There is fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run Oh
there is fire on the mountain top
And no one is running
I wake up in the morning
Tell you what I see on my TV screen
I see the blood of an innocent child
And everybody’s watching
Now am looking out my window
And what do I see
I see an army of a soldier man Matching across the street
Hey Mr soldier man
Tomorrow is the day you go to war
But you are fighting for another man’s cause
And you don’t even know him
What did he say to make you so blind
To you conscience and reason
Could it be love for your country
Or for the gun you use in killing
There is fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run Oh
there is fire on the mountain
And no one is arunning
He Mr Lover man
Can I get a chance to talk to you
Cause you are fooling with a dead man’s corpse
And you don’t know what you do
So you say you have a lover
And you love her like know other
So you buy her a diamond That someone has died on
Don’t you think there something wrong/with this
Tell me who’s responsible For what we teach our children
Is it the internet
Or the stars on television
Why o why o Why o why o
So little Lucy turns sixteen
And like the movie she’s been seeing
She has a lover in her daddy
She can’t tell nobody
Till she makes the evening news
On day the river will over flow
And there’ll be no where for us to go
And we will run, run
Wishing we had put out the fire

Nigerian Girls by Mode Nine
It's Mode 9 in the building
That's how it is
Jah mix
Nice beat Sam
VERSE 1
Let's talk about Nigerian girls
Put your L's up
If you are fresh and single
My Lagos chick said
You are dry, you don't mingle
You don't go clubbing
And you don't buy me pringles
I was trying to watch a match
Trying my best not to jump her
She made me miss the goal
So I sprang up and thumped her
My Nupe chic was cute
But I dumped her
Because she kept on feeding me
Kulikuli and donkua
My Jos chick
Had a temper
Causing havoc
Jealousy blowing off in a state of amok
Black tag mafia
Cursing me and Tyra
My ex-chick was Igbo
Why you let her go
She was fine but like big and
Jay-Z, she loved the dough
Biko nyem ego
Now my bank account is red
Had a Gwari chick once
She never used her head
No pun intended
She used her shoulders instead
CHORUS
No matter where you from
No matter who you be
You gotta love
Nigerian Girls
No matter where you from
No matter who you be
You gotta love
Nigerian Girls
No matter where you from
No matter who you be
You gotta love
Nigerian Girls
You gotta love em (x3)
I say you gotta love them
VERSE 2
Had a PH chick by the name of Joan
Long throat
Ask her for HD-phone
Bought her 33-10
Ninety grand no be yam
My Ondo chick had a PhD so I run
The reason
I wasn't qualified to be her man
My Kogi runs had no rival
She wasn't feeling Jesus
She worshipped idols
We split
But not before I go order Bible
Beware, Edo girls are hard like gravel
Told one
I was born abroad and I will soon travel
You must marry me she said
With a gun to my navel
Engaged to a Calabar chick
Hoping on me
Trying to jazz me
Cookie fury, coping on me
Gave me to the gate man
Now am single and free
No cash, no Abuja chicks
Plenty cash
And they'll be on your ha
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 3
My Kwara babe
was like I love musicians and actors
Talking with a nasty H-factor
The ikebe be so fat
I bet she moves it with a tractor
Had to gag her
So she won't speak in public
Atopa Fresh
Yeah, she's freaky and she loves it
Bisi from Ibadan
I toasted in the dark
The next morning I was like ah, Tiger Shark
She never forgave her dad for giving her tribal marks
My Ijebu chick
Used to tax me, steadily
Stingy girl
She wouldn't even share her bed with me
My Tiv girl
Drinker, a lie that she with it
Downing more than sixteen bottles in one sitting
The brother of my Uyo babe
Gave me the info
He said my sister girl could not even do something simple
And I think you should know
She's also a nympho
Big brother, I nodded but didn't think so
REPEAT CHORUS (till fade)
KD, Jos, Abuja, Lagos, Osun, Kwara
Maidugiri, Katsina, etc, etc
I love y'all
Thank you for coming out
Goodnight, muah!
That's how it is

Bibanke - by Asa
I wake up
I see you
As you leave.
I feel it,
I see it
As you leave
When we kiss
I want deep
but you’re far away.
Bim ba n ke bo ban shun Fi mi si le
Bim ba n ke bo jo ba n ro Fi mi si le.
He use to be my every thing
Treated me like I was a queen
What spell did u cast on me ?
Or is it the make believe
You say girl never be afraid
of ever ever loving me
Those words I hung on too
Oh God I was a fool
You became my bad habit
Keeping up appearances
so you could notice
Even when you suddenly
picked your things
And left the keys
now its crazy
Bim ba n ke bo mi ban shun Fi mi si le
Bim ba n ke bo jo ba n ro Fi mi si le.
Bim ba n ke o o o o
Ko Kun ba si a
Mo ti foro mi fo lu wa

Nfana Ibaga by 2Face Idibia
Verse 1
Yeah, I'm coming out straight this time
I'm coming out with a little piece of my own kind of piece of mind
I'm doing it my way this time
Like I'm not gonna bore you with some flimsy kind of piece of rhyme
So pull a cushion, sit back relax and listen
To this introduction of me, myself and my mission
My vision is to let you all see
That there's more to this life than just faking up reality (Yeah, reality)
I wake up in the morning and I stretch out my feet
Say a thank you prayer then I brush up my teeth
A little exercise then I grab something to eat
Put on a piece of clothing and then step out into the street
Then into the studio just to hook up some beat
Later to the club to make the people feel the heat
Make an honest living and I'm proud about it
Making sure that all my mistakes I don't repeat
Like I mind my own business and I don't give a shit
I say whats on my mind I don't have time to edit
Got to thank the Lord that He's helped me find my feet
Oh praise the Lord, He give me power to defeat
If you give me stoneness they got to give me meat
I try to find it and I try to forget it
Everybody know that me too lazy to quit
Everybody know that me physically fit
Everybody know that me humble and cool
But some poeple them take me for a fool
Chorus
Nfana Ibaga
Never give another one yawa o
So the reason why I say nfana ibaga
Is that I got my conscience by my side
Got piece of mind inside
Nfana Ibaga
No matter what I do
I'm going to make my dough
So the reason why I say nfana ibaga
Is who God has blessed, no man can curse
No man can curse
No man can curse
Verse 2
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
I got to be strong, got to be ready for the strife
I know some people will say some things that will cut like a knife
I know some people will say that I might never find a wife
But I'll do my thing my way, oh my brother, no be fight
Sometimes I might be wrong, sometimes I might be right
But I'll keep my head straight
And I'll keep my game tight
'Cause wetin I dey see, na the future edey bright o
Got to have it all, not just a bite
Got to have it all, not by power, not by might
But cuz Kennis Music got my back day and night
And the Almighty Lord He never let me leave His sight
But upon on top of that I still will do my people right
So I promise I go dey use my music to dey shine the light
I no go comform I say I know the sight
I go bear my mind
I go bear am black and white
Just because I say I no finish school
Some people them they take me for a fool
Chorus
Nfana Ibaga
Never give another one yawa o
So the reason why I say nfana ibaga
Is that I got my conscience by my side
Got piece of mind inside
Nfana Ibaga
No matter what I do
I'm going to make my dough
So the reason why I say nfana ibaga
Is who God has blessed, no man can curse

Yeah, I'm coming out straight this time
I'm coming out with a little piece of my own kind of piece of mind
I'm doing it my way this time
Like I'm not gonna bore you with some flimsy kind of piece of rhyme
So pull a cushion, sit back relax and listen
To this introduction of me, myself and my mission
My vision is to let you all see
That there's more to this life than just faking up reality (Yeah, reality)
I wake up in the morning and I stretch out my feet
Say a thank you prayer then I brush up my teeth
A little exercise then I grab something to eat
Put on a piece of clothing and then step out into the street
Then into the studio just to hook up some beat
Later to the club to make the people feel the heat
Make an honest living and I'm proud about it
Making sure that all my mistakes I don't repeat
Like I mind my own business and I don't give a shit

Just like the sun lights up the earth, you light up my life
The only one, I've ever seen with a smile so bright
And just yesterday, you came around my way
And changed my whole scenery with your astonishing beauty
Oh, you coulda make a brother sing
No ordinary thing, a supernatural being
I know you are just brighter than the moon
Brighter than the star, I love you just the way you are.
Chorus
And you are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams
You take me where I've never been
You make my heart go ting-a-ling-a-ling, oh ahh
