lyrics

Chorus:
Ṣe jẹ́jẹ́ ọ̀rẹ́ mi se jẹ́jẹ́ o
Ṣe jẹ́jẹ́ ọ̀tá mi se jẹ́jẹ́ o
No need to rush my brother
For there’s one life to live
Make the best out of it
No need to rush my brother
For there’s one life to live
Make the best out of it
Ṣe jẹ́jẹ́

Verse 1:
In this liquid times where confusion reigns supreme
Everyone’s out to chase a pipe dream
Like headless chickens high on Amphetamine
I see them trade their soul for anything green
It’s all about cash, almighty naira
Chop quick quick maybe think later
For now it’s the fame that everyone’s after
No one’s interested in being a brother’s keeper

Chorus:
Ṣe jẹ́jẹ́ ọ̀rẹ́ mi se jẹ́jẹ́ o
Ṣe jẹ́jẹ́ ọ̀tá mi se jẹ́jẹ́ o
No need to rush my brother
For there’s one life to live
Make the best out of it
No need to rush my brother
For there’s one life to live
Make the best out of it
Ṣe jẹ́jẹ́

Verse 2:
Why the rush rush, whats the matter?
Is your ego your slave or your conscious your master?
Are you willing to sacrifice to avert disaster?
Tell me my brother do you stand for something?
Or fall for anything ‘cause the lines are blurred?
Too damn thin I need your mind to connect
So plug on in, take a deep breath
Press rewind, relax yourself

Chorus:
Ṣe jẹ́jẹ́ ọ̀rẹ́ mi se jẹ́jẹ́ o
Ṣe jẹ́jẹ́ ọ̀tá mi se jẹ́jẹ́ o
No need to rush my brother
For there’s one life to live
Make the best out of it
No need to rush my brother
For there’s one life to live
Make the best out of it
Ṣe jẹ́jẹ́

Bridge:
Slow, slow, slow, slow
Suru ni oba iwa
Slow, slow, slow, slow
Suru ni oba iwa

Chorus/Outro:
Ṣe jẹ́jẹ́ ọ̀rẹ́ mi se jẹ́jẹ́ o
Ṣe jẹ́jẹ́ ọ̀tá mi se jẹ́jẹ́ o
