No Back Entrance

No back entrance
Tell the whole team come

No back entrance
We dey use the front
No back entrance
Tell the whole team come

Last time dem tell us make we wait outside
Rain touch the paper wey we carry come
Nobody wan hear wetin we record
We fold am put inside the nylon bag
Today my name dey for the proper list
Manager dey ask how many coming through
I tell am count the people wey you see
No be only me dey do the work
Sound man, drummer, person wey dey film
Driver wey dey wait until we finish
Everybody get a place to sit
Nobody go stand behind the kitchen

No back entrance
We dey use the front
No back entrance
Tell the whole team come

Yɛwɔ ha, tell the family
I didn't come this far to eat alone
That same boy who loaned me data
He's the first name that I put down
We used to practice after closing
Keep it quiet for the shops next door
Now I hear the crowd outside the curtain
And I want my people seeing all
Chale, check the cable, check the speaker
Let the first note come out clean
We can celebrate after the set
Right now everybody do their thing

No back entrance
We dey use the front
No back entrance
Tell the whole team come

Names on the list
Seats for the team
We showed up ready
Now let them see

No back entrance
We dey use the front
No back entrance
Tell the whole team come

No back entrance
We dey use the front
No back entrance
Tell the whole team come

Yɛbɛkɔ anim
Still got work to do
No back entrance
We dey bring our people through
