I Know

I bend my body like river bend
I paint my face just to please my friend
Climb the mountain, I walk the mile
Shape my shadow just to buy one smile
But love no dey stay for borrowed skin
If heart no true, e go still run thin
Diamond polish no keep man sure
Na the soul wey shine fit last endure
So if you change, let it sweet your soul
If you glow, let your spirit whole
Mirror no dey lie, e go talk your truth
Na your crown, na your timeless proof
I'm hot and I know it, like fire wey no dey die
Pepper red I dey show it, na flame wey reach the sky
Like diamond wey cut through night
Like sunrise wey chase the dark
From my head to my toe I dey glow
I'm the river wey no run low
Now my swagger rise like harmattan breeze
Lips like sunrise, hips like seas
But no be for man, na for me I reign
Na my joy dey sing, na my peace sustain
To my sisters I say, no dey doubt your crown
No leaf fit hide the iroko down
Beauty start where your spirit speak
Na the fire inside wey dey paint your cheek
So if you dress, make e fit your song
If you shine, make it keep you strong
Na your voice go command the stage
Na your light wey dey write the page
I'm hot and I know it, like fire wey no dey die
Pepper red I dey show it, na flame wey reach the sky
Like diamond wey cut through night
Like sunrise wey chase the dark
From my head to my toe I dey glow
I'm the river wey no run low
Who fit quench this fire? Nobody!
Who fit hide this shine? Nobody!
Lantern wey God light, e go spark the way
I be queen for life, I no fit decay
I'm hot and I know it, like fire wey no dey die
Pepper red I dey show it, na flame wey reach the sky
Like diamond wey cut through night
Like sunrise wey chase the dark
From my head to my toe I dey glow
I'm the river wey no run low
