Chief Dr. Oliver De Coque – Identity Lyrics

When I wake up in the morning, I go pray to my God
When I come back in the evening, I go pray to my God
Always believe in trying
Nothing comes for nothing
Always do my best and leave the rest to God
Oh, funny, funny identity
Oh, funny, funny identity
Oh, funny, funny identity
Oh, funny, funny identity
My papa advise me, make I play my music with honesty
Mama advice, make I respect all my seniors
Always cut my coat according to my size
I no dey promise anything wey my power no reach
My yes is my yes, my no is my no
I no dey make yanga, I’m a simple man by nature
Oh, funny, funny identity
Ewo mama, funny, funny identity
Oh, funny, funny identity
Oh, funny, funny identity
When coconut fall from up, е no dey harm anybody
Coconut get water, nobody knows from where e enter
If you do good to me, I go thank you for your favor
If you do bad to me, na you sabi oh
