“Bad Day Run Away” lyrics
Eh
Today is not for sorrow
Today is not for wahala
DJ, run it
No bad day
No bad day
Bad day run away
No bad day
Yesterday was heavy, but I dropped that load
New shoes, old scars, still I walk that road
They laughed at the dream when the seed was low
Now the same little seed done become mango
I been down bad, but I never stayed
Bills on the table, still I prayed
Now when the drum starts, I misbehave
Joy in my body like a tidal wave
Tell the aunties bring the ululation
Tell the brothers bring the celebration
From the village to the immigration
We still carry home in conversation
Today no bad day, bad day run away
Pour joy in my cup, let the DJ play
If trouble call me, I no dey pick today
I’m dancing with my people till the sky turns grey
No bad day, no bad day
Blessing on my shoulder, let the body sway
No bad day, no bad day
If you survived the storm, come and celebrate
Step one, smile for the camera
Step two, dance for your mama
Step three, no more palava
We go higher, higher
I know the road when the pocket is thin
I know fake friends with a plastic grin
But I know God with a mighty wind
He opened the gate and He let me in
Now I don’t argue with negative sound
I put my two feet on holy ground
When the bass comes in, let the walls fall down
Everybody move when the joy comes round
Tell the aunties bring the ululation
Tell the brothers bring the celebration
From the village to the immigration
We still carry home in conversation
Today no bad day, bad day run away
Pour joy in my cup, let the DJ play
If trouble call me, I no dey pick today
I’m dancing with my people till the sky turns grey
No bad day, no bad day
Blessing on my shoulder, let the body sway
No bad day, no bad day
If you survived the storm, come and celebrate
Left side, show me joy
Right side, make some noise
Front row, move your waist
Back row, celebrate
Leader: Who made it?
Crowd: We made it
Leader: Who prayed it?
Crowd: We prayed it
Leader: Who danced it?
Crowd: We danced it
Leader: Who owns today?
Crowd: We own today
Today no bad day, bad day run away
Pour joy in my cup, let the DJ play
If trouble call me, I no dey pick today
I’m dancing with my people till the sky turns grey
No bad day, no bad day
Blessing on my shoulder, let the body sway
No bad day, no bad day
If you survived the storm, come and celebrate
No bad day
No bad day
Bad day run away
No bad day
