Rooster Don Crow

(Kokoroko!)
Rooster don crow
(Kokoroko!)
Rooster don crow

Whole night I no sleep, rent dey my head
Landlord dey knock, I dey pretend for bed
Mama call me, "sun, omo mi, Olorun wa"
Small light for window, I see the dawn
I count the ceiling, I count my debt
I count my blessing, e never finish yet
Generator dey hum for next compound
My heart dey beat, na the only sound

Rooster don crow (kokoroko!)
Night don waka go
Rooster don crow (kokoroko!)
Better go show

Morning I waka go work for Ojota
Oga call me, "your pay don double"
I buy agege bread, I carry am home
Rooster for the gate, e still dey crow
Landlord see me, e smile first time
I pay complete, no more "next time"
Mama dey dance when I call am say
"Your pikin don rise, e don be okay"

Rooster don crow (kokoroko!)
Night don waka go
Rooster don crow (kokoroko!)
Better go show

Every night get morning (e get)
Every tears get time (e get)
Hold on small, my brother
Rooster go crow

Rooster don crow (kokoroko!)
Night don waka go
Rooster don crow (kokoroko!)
Better go show

Kokoroko (e don crow)
Kokoroko (e don crow)
Night don waka, e don go
Kokoroko
