“Mo Tún Bẹ̀rẹ̀” lyrics

Mo tún bẹ̀rẹ̀
Mi ò tìjú

Mo jókòó nílé ẹ̀kọ́
Àwọn kékeré wà níbẹ̀
Mo gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè
Mo ní, "Ẹ tún ṣàlàyé"
The boy wey teach me younger
I no get shame for that
I came here with my old bag
I wan learn, no be to brag

Mo tún bẹ̀rẹ̀
Ẹ jẹ́ kí n kọ́
Mo tún bẹ̀rẹ̀
I go get am small small

Mo ṣe é, kò tọ́
Mo tún ṣe é lẹ́ẹ̀kan
Olùkọ́ mi rẹ́rìn-ín
Ó ní, "Ó ti dára báyìí"
I send the first job give my brother
He say the thing dey work
Yesterday I dey fear to start am
Today I fit collect more work

Mi ò bá ẹnikẹ́ni sáré
Mo mọ ibi tí mo ń lọ
No use your watch to time me
Na my own work I dey learn

Mo tún bẹ̀rẹ̀
Ẹ jẹ́ kí n kọ́
Mo tún bẹ̀rẹ̀
I go get am small small

Mo tún bẹ̀rẹ̀
Ẹ jẹ́ kí n kọ́
Mo tún bẹ̀rẹ̀
I go get am small small

Mo tún bẹ̀rẹ̀
Ẹ jẹ́ kí n kọ́
Mo tún bẹ̀rẹ̀
I go get am small small

Mo tún bẹ̀rẹ̀
Ẹ jẹ́ kí n kọ́
Mo tún bẹ̀rẹ̀
I go get am small small

Mo gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè
I still get one question
Mo tún bẹ̀rẹ̀
Mi ò tìjú
