Cookout Lyrics

Cheers to all the battles we've won

And every struggle overcome

Mommy daddy komole

Favor fell down

They knew we would make it some way

Fighting hard to fake it some days

For me my generation

For better days ahead

Now, when we jo we go move good

Blessings they come and we go enjoy joy

Make we lift our hands

Glory to The One who had the plan

For me to be stuck in the middle

Between two worlds

Til I embraced the middle ahh

So why should I choose?

Now every cookout we play our favorite tunes like

Play me that Motown and Mavin

Play me that Marvin Gaye

With some Sunny Ade

Shina, Fela, Sade

Play me that soul music

So I f I'm being honest may be too Naija for Chi city and too Chitown for Las Gidi

But imma still get down, get down,

get down down down

Because I Dey here with my people

Get down Get down Get down down down

Because I Dey here

With my people

With my people yeah

Never easy being all alone

Naija girl it was me against the world

All around me, fighting for my own place to fit in

Till I realized it was me

Who was never meant to fit

I'll be the link my story's meant to bridge

Forever, Young, Black, proud and African

(Young Black, proud and African, And African)

Now, when we chop we go chop good

Cuz the money we hustle we go enjoy joy

Make we lift our hands

Glory to The One who had the plan

For me to be stuck in the middle

Between two worlds

Til I embraced the middle ahh

So why I gotta choose?

Cuz every cookout we eat our favorite foods like

Gimme some candy yams, egusi

Bring me some Jollof rice

With some dodo that's right

Asaro and meat pie

Jor pass me that macaroni and cheese

And if I'm being honest may be too Naija for Chi city and too Chitown for Las Gidi

(Jor jor pass me that macaroni and cheese)

(Play me play me some of that Soul music)

(May be too Naija for Chi city and too Chitown for Las Gidi)

But imma still get down, get down,

Get down down down

Because I Dey here with my people

Get down Get down Get down down down

Because I Dey here

With my people

With my people yeah

But imma still get down, get down,

Get down down down

Because I Dey here with my people

With my people

With my people yeah

With my people

With my people yeah

With my people

With my people yeah
