[Intro] Mm-mm, yeah For the quarter, for the family Dwin dey tell you No be today [Verse 1] I wake for morning with fire for chest Small room, big dream, I no fit rest Many mouth talk say I no go reach But I keep my promise, I practice my speech When pocket dry, some brother disappear When rain come down, nobody dey near One love turn cold, e leave me for pain But every hard season teach me my name Mama say, "Pikin, hold on your way" Even when tomorrow no show for today I cry for corner, then I rise again God know the road, I no fear the rain [Pre-Chorus] If you see me smile, no think say e easy I carry my scars, but my heart still busy From zero to something, I dey build my lane What no kill me, e dey add to my flame [Chorus] No be today, no be today I don struggle tire, but I still dey stand No be today, no be today One day my story go change No be today, no be today Tell dem say I no go turn away No be today, no be today One day my story go change [Instrumental Break] Oh-oh, yeah No be today Stand up, my people [Verse 2] I remember days when the light bill high And the last small note make the whole house dry I knock for doors, dem no answer me Now dem see the work, dem wan gather near No vex, my brother, I know that game When you get nothing, dem forget your name But I no get time for the old bad talk I put two feet on the road and walk For this life, man must hold him ground Even when the whole world no make one sound My setbacks no be my final page I turn every wound to a brand-new stage [Pre-Chorus] If you see me shine, no think say na magic I paid with my tears, every scar get a classic From quarter dust to a wider view I still be the same, but my faith brand new [Chorus] No be today, no be today I don struggle tire, but I still dey stand No be today, no be today One day my story go change No be today, no be today Tell dem say I no go turn away No be today, no be today One day my story go change [Bridge] I no go bow, I no go break See the road wey my two feet make If dem close gate, I go find my way If night stay long, I go call new day My people, hold on, your time go come No let the hard life make your spirit numb From Buea side to Douala town We rise together, nobody put us down [Breakdown] No be today... I start this fight No be today... I lose my sight No be today...
