This is the album that changed the face of contemporary Nigerian/African music. 2Baba really opened an avenue for the likes of P Square and every one else that came after.
this man is the best lyricist as far as naija contemporary music is concerned imo . for those that appreciate good lyrics & in depth music.will agree with me.
The song is a result of higher intellectual level, just few artist can write such lyrics 🎉❤2024 and it still slap hard Kudos to the producer, the beat is something else..
The lyrics especially verse 2 was deeply prophetic. It mirrors our present day challenges as a Nigeria. Our heads have become a dustbin and they can dump anything now

In their prime the American music awards wasn't considering African artists That's why they are not well recognized and also technology wasn't that advanced But that was the time time true friends stays together

Funny how the industry has evolved over the years with better songs but songs like these paved way and put the foundation for the advanced music industry we have now. Kudos to Tuface, Blackface, Faze, Kenny, D1 and most especially OJB... Rest in peace Bro

Onoriode Anuta I’m feeling it right now in 2019
Much much Innocent Idibia (2baba) Evergreen
Legit Song
2019 till the end of time.
One Luv
I love the whistling during the chorus. Always gives me goosebumps. Why did he never make a video of this outstanding song?
I remember when this song got released. One of the best moments of my childhood.
It's Jan 2022 and this sing still makes sense in our country
2025 🎉 the music that ran through my thoughts this cool evening
Hey, uuh
Some people be acting like they know it all
Hey, ooh
Some people be acting like they know it all
Hey, ooh, ai
Some people be acting like they know it all
Ooh
See, see
See this type of thing wey we dey feel
Before you know, you don dey start to dey kolo small
I no go lie
We feel these things for real
Some people no believe that money brings upon a man's downfall
Face reality and you will see
That it pays nobody
To be feeling that they know it all
Try to visualize what I feel
And I bet what you will see would be a picture of a garden wall
If you try to push am down
Try to enter the town
Try to see wetin dey happen around
Na so them go dey bring you down
Before you know, you go dey for six feet under the ground
Ooh ah
Some be acting that they know it all
But everybody knows that people rise and fall
Some rise up again just to stand up tall
And wiser and stronger
No matter how long you live
You can not learn it all
You go only do your best because you no go fit do all
So if you want to criticize me, talk small small
Cos you no holy pass, my brother
U no holy pass, my sister
Hmm, some people when they see a wrong thing
They will start complaining
Until the complaining turn into shouting
Anytime they see a wrong thing
They continue shouting
Until the shouting turn into traditional shouting
Make them try to correct a thing
They will start to thinking
Until the thinking make the pressure to start to set in
Make them feel like outcast in the society them live in
Because they lose them sense of belonging
But they would try to push am more
Try to open every door
When negativity doesn’t make it certain
So when them try to stop the complaining and the shouting
Them no go fit because e don be spiritual something
People take advantage of the dream
Because them realizing
Say this people lost them spirit of fighting
So them start to use them head
Use am like dustbin
All the problem of the nation
Them be dumping, in them head
Slavery will start to set in like Amistad
Oya, I know say you seen the making
And them start to do almost anything for almost nothing
Cos them same people they need some fighting
But the scavengers would bring them all
They will push them to the floor
And to collect all the people them belonging
But like a goat that has pushed to the wall
We already ready to start to do the fighting
So me a go run them down
Me a go chase them outta wey town
I sabi, we go gun down them
Before them go know, them go dey for six feet under the ground
Some be acting that they know it all
But everybody knows that people rise and fall
Some rise up again just to stand up tall
And wiser and stronger
No matter how long you live
You can not learn it all
You go only do your best because you no go fit do all
So if you want to criticize me, talk small small
Cos you no holy pass, my brother
U no holy pass, my sister
Some be acting that they know it all
But everybody knows that people rise and fall
Some rise up again just to stand up tall
And wiser and stronger
No matter how long you live
You can not learn it all
You go only do your best because you no go fit do all
So if you want to criticize me, talk small small
Cos you no holy pass, my brother
Lyrics is deep
Very deep lyrics...all these years i just have the wrong lyrics on my head...hmmm
In their prime the American music awards wasn't considering African artists
That's why they are not well recognized and also technology wasn't that advanced
But that was the time time true friends stays together
