promise

verse 1

i’m lying in my bed thinkin’ about things that we speak
we speak ’em quick but they are difficult to keep
we say so many things we don’t mean, too many times
promises we make to later break shows we’re fake
very easy to say, difficult to obey
it reflects in the songs we sing
we makin’ promises and we never stop to think
we say that no matter, and in any kinda weather
we decide to follow the lord
can i ask you people – whether fire or water
are you ready, well, can we listen to this number?

1st chorus

b’ina ba n jo, emi o tele jesu
b’ojo ba n ro, emi o tele jesu
b’ina ba n jo, b’ojo n ro, emi o tele
duro demi jesu, ki n le ba o debe

so once upon a time i decided and i visited
a friend, a brother, we’re so close, and we related
my friend was claimin’ that nothing’s gonna make him
to forsake him, trouble came, my friend was shakin’
gimme attention, i will swim in da ocean
for yo’ affection, all that because of emotion?
situation could become so bad
one vow you didn’t keep could make you turn sober

rap hook

promise, don’t go back on it
word is – never take it as funny
maybe you can avoid it
maybe try not to promise
promise it and perform it
keep your promise
word
(2ce)

verse 2

gettin’ up from my bed, stretchin’ my body
i’m yawnin’, the day is dawnin’ all of a sudden
it’s sunday morning, man i better hurry
hummin’ and noddin’
preparin’ to go for sunday worship
at any rate i don’t wanna be late, i dressed up
after havin’ bath, i’m on my way, “yes lord”
i was in time for sunday school
i sat among the few people, lookin’ very cool
pastor came around and he announced – “you are welcome”
to first timers, imploring us to stand up
we obeyed and he prayed
then he called upon the choir to lead us in worship and praise
there was a song we chorused together
let me try all over
maybe i can still remember

2nd chorus

ori mi, ejika, ookun, ese (3x)
t’ire ni oluwa

we took our seats, pastor came on the pulpit
he took the microphone and started to preach
after that, he said “there is a man among us
and he wanna talk to us, a missionary”
made an appeal, saying we need you and your money
but n0body responded, people even started leaving

rap hook (2ce)

verse 3

now what’s more to say? i’m going back home
now i’m back at home
safely in my abode
alone, still thinkin’ promises
makin’ lots of it, but never fulfillin’ it
see – people like us are so lucky
cos when we make a promise
then we forget about it
before, i mean before before, long ago
this was just impossible
i heard a story when i was very small
and i wanna tell it to all o’ y’all
about one lady, what’s her name – olurombi
she promised an iroko tree, i’ll give you my baby
the lady later had a baby
she remembered her promise but it ain’t easy
but she had to give up her baby to iroko tree
and she was back to square one – a barren lady y’all

3rd chorus

onikaluku j’eje ewure, ewure, ewure
onikaluku j’eje aguntan, aguntan bolojo
olurombi j’eje omo re, omo re apon bi epo
olurombi o, j’oin j’oin iroko j’oin j’oin

rap hook (2ce)

outro

ladies and gentlemen
so that’s how the story goes
don’t make promises that you can’t fulfil
when you say it, mean it
when you don’t mean it, don’t say it
keep your promise
