Were you dey yesterday
When the gunman shoot men down?
No retreat, no surrender
If them push you, no fall down
Many come, many go
We no dey sleep, we dey for road
We come in peace
Not in pieces

O yeah, yeah, Oga
Respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal
Respect is reciprocal
My Oga, oh-oh-oh
Respеct is reciprocal, is reciprocal
Respеct is reciprocal

Soro soke
Werey dey disguise
I don tire, tire oh
As I dey look your eyes, eh (I dey look your eyes)
Giant of Africa
When life go betta
You promise me tomorrow
But nobody sees tomorrow

I don tire oh (tire, tire, tire for the lamba)
I don tire oh (tire, tire, why you too dey lie?)
I don tire oh (tire, tire, tire for the lamba)
I don tire oh, tire, tire (tire, tire, why you too dey lie? My Oga)

Respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal

A glimpse of hope in humanity
The last frontier of our own sanity
Spread your love to all equally
And plant the seeds of radical beauty

The wind will blow, a light will show
Real beauty on a brand new day
The wind will blow, a light will show
Real beauty on a brand new day
It will glow on a brand new day
A clear way on a brand new day
It will glow on a brand new day
We'll get down on a brand new day

Walk with your head straight (respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal)
Stand with your head straight (respect is reciprocal)
Walk with your head straight (respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal)
Stand with your head straight (respect is reciprocal)
