[Intro 0:00-0:10]
Awaken Flame… No Dey Shame…
Break chain… rise poor man fire…
[Verse 1 0:10-0:35]
You dey shame to be poor? We must go into why you dey shame to be poor?
I no like poor wey exploit their own pikin
As parent your job na to protect your pikin from your shortcomings
You no get money cos you no do revolutionary acts
Now you force five-year-old hawking, I no fit stand am
I no fit stand poor wey worship rich people
iṣẹ oriṣẹ wàrà mi… awaken inner power!
[Chorus 0:35-1:00]
No Dey Shame – rise up flame!
Break chain, rise poor man fire!
Iṣẹ Harvey Boyo Reden!
Spiritual breakthrough, conscious awake!
No thief, clean and true!
Poor na future, working class flame ignite!
Rich lack soul, material hole!
Dance di beat, multidimensional you!
Awaken Flame… No Dey Shame…
[Verse 2 1:00-1:25]
You get fear of authority, from small trauma chain you down
Parents beat, teacher beat, police slap, innate fear of power
I talk truth, I no be enemy, the enemy dey wait
To be poor na nothing to dey shame of if you no be thief or kidnapper
But if no revolutionary, e dey disappointing
[Chorus 1:25-1:50]
No Dey Shame – rise up flame!
Break chain, rise poor man fire!
Iṣẹ Harvey Boyo Reden!
Spiritual breakthrough, conscious awake!
No thief, clean and true!
Poor na future, working class flame ignite!
Rich look down but dem empty inside!
Dance di beat, subconscious free, touch di sky!
Awaken Flame… No Dey Shame…
[Bridge/Outro 1:50-3:00]
Rich wan make you chase European Asian things for value
But you get kindness, love, empathy wey money no fit buy
No allow gossip destroy your mind, no feel less than
Understand your value, poor and working class na the future… case closed!
olokun umalẹ okun Olodumare… wash the shame away!
Awaken Flame… No Dey Shame…
Break chain… rise poor man fire…
Multidimensional being… higher… higher…
