“Unknown Number” lyrics

Unknown number dey call me
(Dey call me)
Two hundred names for my phone
(For my phone)
Nobody sabi my birthday
(My birthday)
Unknown number, na who be this

Oh-oh
(Na who be this)
Oh-oh
(Na who be this)

My phone no dey ever rest now
Everybody get proposal
Business this, blessing that
Dem sabi my account number
But my guy from secondary school
Him line don dead two years now
I dey call am sometimes still
Just to hear the dead-line tone

Money buy the crowd
E no buy the circle
Money buy the crowd
E no buy the circle

Unknown number dey call me
(Dey call me)
Two hundred names for my phone
(For my phone)
Nobody sabi my birthday
(My birthday)
Unknown number, na who be this

June seven come like normal day
No call from morning reach four
The office drop cake for my table
The kind wey dem buy for everybody
Then night time one unknown number
I almost no gree pick am
The voice say "guy, happy birthday"
Na him. New line. Same laugh

Him say him lose my number too
Him find am for old exercise book
Him dey call from him mama shop
We talk till him credit finish
I save am for my phone: brother

Unknown number been call me
(Been call me)
Two hundred names for my phone
(For my phone)
But one voice sabi my birthday
(My birthday)
Unknown number turn to brother

Old exercise book
Unknown no more
