“Ẹ Kú Iṣẹ́” lyrics

Ẹ kú iṣẹ́
Mo rí ohun tí ẹ ṣe

Baba don leave before we wake up
Uniform still dey dry outside
Mama dey count the transport money
Make e reach till Friday night
Man wey dey sweep for the junction
I dey see am every morning
People dey pass like e no dey there
Today I stop to greet am proper

Ẹ kú iṣẹ́
Mo rí ohun tí ẹ ṣe
Ẹ kú iṣẹ́
Kí Ọlọ́run fún yín lókun

I carry food go meet my papa
He say I no need come so far
I tell am make he sit down first
We never talk like this since March
He ask me how the music dey go
I ask am how him body dey
No big speech, we just dey chop
I stay with am till break time finish

Ẹ kú iṣẹ́
Mo rí ohun tí ẹ ṣe
Ẹ kú iṣẹ́
Kí Ọlọ́run fún yín lókun

Ẹ ṣe, ẹ ṣe
A kò gbàgbé yín
Ẹ ṣe, ẹ ṣe
A kò gbàgbé yín

No be only money I go send
I go come sit down with you
You don do enough for everybody
Make somebody care for you

Ẹ kú iṣẹ́
Mo rí ohun tí ẹ ṣe
Ẹ kú iṣẹ́
Kí Ọlọ́run fún yín lókun

Ẹ kú iṣẹ́
Mo rí ohun tí ẹ ṣe
Ẹ kú iṣẹ́
Kí Ọlọ́run fún yín lókun

Baba, ẹ kú iṣẹ́
Mama, ẹ kú iṣẹ́
Mo rí ohun tí ẹ ṣe
A kò gbàgbé yín
