(앨범: Gift & Grace - 2008)

Yeah, my brothers and sisters
I know you've been trying so hard
To make it one way or the other in life, mehn
We dey feel bad in one way or the other say, mehn
You kon dey feel like say you escort people come dis world

Na Jehovah be the key, mehn
Let's keep trying
With fact say you know God, you no go fall

Girl, I want you to know
I'm alive, I just dey go

Na so, so people despise me, oh

Dem say, "I no go grow"
So tey dem say, "I go stop for road"
Den na una way God, I go thank you for everything you give me

Thank God, oh, thank God, oh
Una for killing me, oh, killing me
Everybody, 'body say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"
Turnaway oh, turnaway oh, mbana o, mbana
Everybody, 'body say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"

When I sing, I want you to know the truth is bitter
The time I start, many people dem dey wonder
Now, they've turned to ask "Who be Timaya?"
Everywhere you go, I dey on like fire

Some people dey wan quench this fire
Dem call the fire service to quench the fire
Dem no know say, holy ghost fire

Wey I for don say

Everybody say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"

Ah neva do any good for my life, oh

Everybody say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"

Na una way
Eh, na una way, oh
Everybody, 'body say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"
Everybody say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"

Everybody, everybody, sing say
When me and Eldies bin dey hustle
When me and my guy, Timmy, we dey for one room
So, the people dey laugh
Dem say, "Timaya will be like church rats"

When na see me say

My mama and papa dem dey so proud, eh
Oh, dem love me

You say, "You go make it to the top"
Just say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"
