Nfana Ibaga lyrics - 2face Idibia

Echo Yeah
I'm coming out straight this time
I'm coming out with the little of my own kind of peace of mind
I'm doing it my way this time
Like I'm not gonna bore you with some flimsy kind of piece of rhymes
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, 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 and then I grab something to eat
Put on a piece of clothe and I step out into the street
Then into the studio just to cook 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 what's 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 stone instead of to give me meat
I try to find it and I try to forget it
Everybody know that me too legit to quit
Everybody know that me physically fit
Everybody know that me humble and cool
But some people them take me for a fool

Nfana Ibaga
Never give another one yawawo
So the reason why I say nfana ibaga
Is that I got my conscience by my side
Got peace of mind inside
Nfana Ibaga
No matter what them 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

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 somethings 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 what I can't see is the future where the pride
Got to have it all not just a bite
Got to have it all not by power not by might
But 'cause Kennis Music got my back day and night
And the Almighty Lord Him never let me leave Him sight
But upon on top of that I still will feel my people pride
So I promise I go use my music to they shine the light
I no go come they form like 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

Nfana Ibaga
Never give another one yawawo
So the reason why I say nfana ibaga
Is that I got my conscience by my side
Got peace of mind inside
Nfana Ibaga
No matter what them 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

So I say welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
Me I get plenty things to talk about yeah
I say me I get plenty things to yarn about yeah
No man can curse

Nfana Ibaga
Never give another one yawawo
So the reason why I say nfana ibaga
Is that I got my conscience by my side
Got peace of mind inside
Nfana Ibaga
No matter what them 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

Who God has blessed, no man can curse

Ole lyrics - 2face Idibia (feat. Freestyle)

Maybe baby there's a different kind of spirit about you
Or maybe, baby, it's the way you smile every time that I make you
I cannot understand wetin you do me
Wey dey make me feeling irie, oh I
But if I ever tell a lie, make I pai
I dey trip for you my lady
After all that's been said and done
You don't even show me you care every time
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 that should let me know
You should let me know how you feel about me so
I have had enough of your forming
I am dying for your loving

I am calling you ole
Cos you stole my heart away
Cos I gave all my life to you
Girl, I pump your gbagbo on too
If you really really want me so
Then, baby you should let me know
But now is only me that let you know I love so
That is not the way that the story should go
Cos it feels good, loving somebody
And somebody loves you back eh ai…eh ai
It feels good, needing somebody
And somebody needs you back, needs you back

Maybe, baby, you are scared of letting go of your emotions
Or maybe baby, you just trying to give I an hypertension
I've been waiting as you sleep patiently
For you to tell me your decision, my position
But I got this funny feeling like say that my heart is in the danger
Claim what you get before it gets too late
But the way way you dey do
E be like you get plenty faith
Carry me along, you know I got your back
Help me in your world baby have no fear

Cos 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 forming
I am dying for your loving

I am calling you ole
Cos you stole my heart away
Cos I gave all my life to you
Girl, I pump your gbagbo on too
If you really really want me so
Then, baby you should let me know
But now is only me that let you know I love so
That is not the way that the story should go
Cos it feels good, loving somebody
And somebody loves you back eh ai…eh ai
It feels good, needing somebody
And somebody needs you back, needs you back

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 lady
My heart was stolen, emotions getting messed up
See, you let me get stuck
Putting me on cruise, like you feeling my sleeve
But would you believe
All my yarn just follow the breeze
Glow like say, I no fit find woman replace you
I no go send you forever
You no be one and phase two
But, I will feel as lost when you gone
Depending where you from, so I will carry on
With what I do best, to make shoddies spot in the cute dress
Word to my honeys and all newest
Soldier go, soldier come
No dey scope, me dey run
I am a not small boy, don't take me to cut fun
I know you feeling this thing really
So stop acting silly and cut the crap
You got my heart, girl I want it back

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 forming
I am dying for your loving

I am calling you ole
Cos you stole my heart away
Cos I gave all my life to you
Girl, I pump your gbagbo on too
If you really really want me so
Then, baby you should let me know
But now is only me that let you know I love so
That is not the way that the story should go
Cos it feels good, loving somebody
And somebody loves you back eh ai…eh ai
It feels good, needing somebody
And somebody needs you back, needs you back

Holy (Skit) lyrics - 2face Idibia

Yeah
Me I get better things to talk about
Than to come here start to make mouth
No doubt, when I finish you go look me like tout
Nowadays sef, small things some people go start to dey shout
Like when dem hear a story
Wey dey bin clap my glory
Dem go dey worry like say I promise dem says I too holy
Infact okoli, pass me the gboly

U No Holy Pass lyrics - 2face Idibia

Hey, uuh
Some people be acting like they know it all
Hey, ooh
Some people be acting like they know it all
Hey, ooh, ai
Some people be acting like they know it all
Ooh

See, see
See this type of thing wey we dey feel
Before you know, you don dey start to dey kolo small
I no go lie
We feel these things for real
Some people no believe that money brings upon a man's downfall
Face reality and you will see
That it pays nobody
To be feeling that they know it all
Try to visualize what I feel
And I bet what you will see would be a picture of a garden wall
If you try to push am down
Try to enter the town
Try to see wetin dey happen around
Na so them go dey bring you down
Before you know, you go dey for six feet under the ground
Ooh ah

Some be acting that they know it all
But everybody knows that people rise and fall
Some rise up again just to stand up tall
And wiser and stronger
No matter how long you live
You can not learn it all
You go only do your best because you no go fit do all
So if you want to criticize me, talk small small
Cos you no holy pass, my brother

U no holy pass, my sister

Hmm, some people when they see a wrong thing
They will start complaining
Until the complaining turn into shouting
Anytime they see a wrong thing
They continue shouting
Until the shouting turn into traditional shouting
Make them try to correct a thing
They will start to thinking
Until the thinking make the pressure to start to set in
Make them feel like outcast in the society them live in
Because they lose them sense of belonging
But they would try to push am more
Try to open every door
When negativity doesn’t make it certain
So when them try to stop the complaining and the shouting
Them no go fit because e don be spiritual something
People take advantage of the dream
Because them realizing
Say this people lost them spirit of fighting
So them start to use them head
Use am like dustbin
All the problem of the nation
Them be dumping, in them head
Slavery will start to set in like Amistad
Oya, I know say you seen the making
And them start to do almost anything for almost nothing
Cos them same people they need some fighting
But the scavengers would bring them all
They will push them to the floor
And to collect all the people them belonging
But like a goat that has pushed to the wall
We already ready to start to do the fighting
So me a go run them down
Me a go chase them outta wey town
I sabi, we go gun down them
Before them go know, them go dey for six feet under the ground

Some be acting that they know it all
But everybody knows that people rise and fall
Some rise up again just to stand up tall
And wiser and stronger
No matter how long you live
You can not learn it all
You go only do your best because you no go fit do all
So if you want to criticize me, talk small small
Cos you no holy pass, my brother

U no holy pass, my sister

Some be acting that they know it all
But everybody knows that people rise and fall
Some rise up again just to stand up tall
And wiser and stronger
No matter how long you live
You can not learn it all
You go only do your best because you no go fit do all
So if you want to criticize me, talk small small
Cos you no holy pass, my brother

African Queen lyrics - 2face Idibia

Yeah, yeah, you are my African Queen, oooh Lord, oooh Lord

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

Ah, you coulda make a brother sing
You 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

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
You are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams
And you remind me of a thing
And that is the African beauty

Yahh oooo you are my African Queen, oh Lord, ooh Lord, hmm

Out of a million you stand as one, the outstanding one
I look into your eyes, girl, what I see is Paradise
Yeah, you captivated my soul, now everyday I want you more
How can I deny this feeling I'm feeling inside?

Ey, oh no one can never take your place, can never take your space
That's a fact I cannot erase
And you, you are the one that makes me smile
Make me float like a boat upon the Nile

Girl 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
You are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams
And you remind me of a thing
And that is the African beauty

Oooo ooooo yaahhh yahhh ooo

You are my African Queen and I know, oh yes, I know
You are my African Queen and I know, see I know
See I know what I am feeling in my heart and in my soul
Oh I know that it is love
And I know that this love was surely sent from up above
'Cause you're the only one I think of

You are my African Queen and I know that this means
That you're the only one that I will serve
I'll give you my heart, my love, my body and my money
Every other thing you think of Ina Man
Who could think of anything better than you?
Who could think of ever hurting you?
Sacrifice my all, I'll give it all to you
You are my African Queen
For real

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
You are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams
And you remind me of a thing
And that is the African beauty

So black, so beautiful
I love you, I love you, I love you
Munyemo, I love you, I love you, I love you
Munyemo, I love you, I love you, ooooh yeah
My African Queen, I love you, I love you

Am thinking about the things I've done
Am thinking about the words I've said
Am thinking about the way that I've been living my life
E be like say I forget say, say, say
Somebody dey beside all the way (all the way)
People have let me to go astray
Dey come dey start to make me to belief
Say I too dey, ey
I did lots of things without remorse
Cos I never knew
That I live each day by the grace
But now, things have change
And my God I realize
That I am blessed
And what more can I say ay ay
To thank you Lord

[VERSE 2]
This is song straight from the heart
It's about the way I feel
Inside of me, I'm talking about the things that the
Lord has done for me
If God can provide for all the birds in the sky
What more can I say
I no think say I better pass the people way don pai
But I still dey today
He's a miracle working God
And I, I belief that its because of him that I am a living man today
It's a crazy and beautiful world that we are live in,
Uh huh
There so much sorrow, joy and pain
But I still
Got to thank you Lord
