Say Amen Quick

Say amen quick, say amen quick

Say amen quick, say amen quick

Say amen quick, say amen quick

Say amen quick, say amen quick

Phone buzz on the table, I no even look
Alert land small, na the fee for the book
My grandma dey kitchen, she hear the sound
She say my pikin, no argue, no go round
Good news no get time for your politics
Good news dey pass like a danfo for the six
When the thing knock for door, no ask for the card
Open, say thank you, and don't make it hard
I check the small print like a customs man
I hold the phone to the light like a coin
The screen say credited, I say show me the join
She slap my hand off the phone, say hear me, understand
Her own mother prayed with a candle for a week
And the answer came on a Tuesday, in a cheque

Say amen quick, say amen quick
(Amen!)
Before the blessing change its mind
Say amen quick, say amen quick
(Amen!)
Receive am now, no waste time
(Amen!)

Hallelujah, small small
(small small)
Hallelujah, e don come
(e don come)
Hallelujah, small small
(Amen!)
Hallelujah, e don come
(Amen!)

Monday na the job call, Tuesday na the rain
After seven months of dust for the lane
Wednesday the landlord drop the rent by a bit
Thursday my cousin pay back, I no even beg
Friday the boy bring home a paper with a star
Saturday we sit down with the pot and the jar
Everything dey pile like a wedding of good
And I dey look the ceiling like I never understood
Neighbour send plantain, the pastor send word
The bus conductor give me back the extra change
The barber say no pay, today the chair is free
I dey look for the camera, I dey look for the prank
But na just life saying, my friend, you can breathe
The generator coughing but the light dey come heard
My shoes get a hole but the road get a feather
I count am on my fingers, it don pass the weather

Say amen quick, say amen quick
(Amen!)
Before the blessing change its mind
Say amen quick, say amen quick
(Amen!)
Receive am now, no waste time
(Amen!)

Hallelujah, small small

Hallelujah, small small
(small small)
Hallelujah, e don come
(e don come)
Hallelujah, small small
(Amen!)
Hallelujah, e don come

I used to say wait, make I check if it real
Make I call the bank, make I ask am twice
Blessing no dey wait for permission, my brother
Blessing no dey sit for the door like a guest
It enter, it carry the chair, it sit down for your table
And your mouth still dey say I no deserve it
Abeg, shut that mouth, let the gratitude talk
Grandma was right, the blessing is loud
It wake up the street, it wake up the crowd
It knock on the zinc, it knock on the wall
It walk through the market and greet us all

Say amen
(Amen!)

Now say amen slow, say amen slow

Now say amen slow, say amen slow
(Amen)
You don receive am, sit down with it
Say amen slow, say amen slow
(Amen)
Chew am like the sweetest bread you get

Hallelujah, small small
(small small)
Hallelujah, e don come
(e don come)
Hallelujah, small small
(Amen!)
Hallelujah, small small
(Amen!)

Amen
(Amen)
