“Light Don Come” lyrics
See my people smile
Fan no turn since afternoon
Everybody drag chair come outside
Mama dey tell us old-time story
Even uncle leave him phone one side
Somebody bring the small speaker
We gather round the little sound
I never hear you laugh like this
Since everybody move to town
Light don come
I can see my people smile
Light don come
Make we dance for small while
Iná ti dé
Eh, iná ti dé
Carry your chair come near
Everybody still dey here
Now the room don bright again
Nobody rush to go inside
You bring the fan come near the doorway
Small pikin dey enjoy the breeze
Neighbor wey no greet since morning
Come ask us which song we dey play
We tell am pull the other chair
No need to stand so far away
Light don come
I can see my people smile
Light don come
Make we dance for small while
We don dey laugh before the light
We don dey dance before the light
Now everybody face dey clear
See who finally join us here
Light don come
I can see my people smile
Light don come
Make we dance for small while
Iná ti dé
Eh, iná ti dé
Carry your chair come near
Light don come
I can see my people smile
Light don come
Make we dance for small while
Iná ti dé
Eh, iná ti dé
Light don come
I can see my people smile
Light don come
Make we dance for small while
Light don come
I can see my people smile
Light don come
Make we dance for small while
Iná ti dé
Leave the chair outside
Light don come
Nobody wan say goodnight
