TooSweet Sultan – Street Light

TooSweet Sultan – Street Light (Lyrics)

(Intro)
The street light dey for my eye
I see everything
I no go lie
The pavement be my teacher
And the struggle be my feature
Yeah

(Chorus)
Dem say shine your light, but which kind light?
When the night so dark and the fear dey bite?
My life na movie, no be for play-play
Online movie streaming services
I go make am, another day, another day
I dey glow like a street light! (Yeah!)
In the middle of the trouble, I dey find my way
I dey burn through the night (Burn!)
Until we see the morning day

(Verse 1)
From Kaneshie to Nima, the story dey the same
Hustle for the morning, pray for evening rain
Wash the pain away, my dreams dey for balcony
Staring at the stars, wishing they could talk to me
Mama say, “Paddy, no forget your way”
But the road twist and turn like every single day
Friends turn to foes, the love don dey freeze
But the fire for my soul, e no go quench for breeze, no!

(Pre-Chorus)
So I stand up tall
Through the concrete wall
I go answer the call, ooo! (Asa)

(Chorus)
Dem say shine your light, but which kind light?
When the night so dark and the fear dey bite?
My life na movie, no be for play-play
I go make am, another day, another day
I dey glow like a street light
In the middle of the trouble, I dey find my way
I dey burn through the night
Until we see the morning day

(Verse 2)
Sometimes I dey look mirror, I no know the man
The boy wey dey inside still dey do him plan
The world want the glory, them no want the story
The sleepless nights wey write the glory
I carry the weight, e heavy like stone
But on the dancefloor, my body go forget am alone
Yeah, music be my healing, my feeling, my prayer
Portable speakers
My language to the gods, when my mouth no fit share

(Bridge)
All the street lights
We dey shine together
Through the stormy weather
We no go fade, never
We be the light, ohhh

We be the light
We be the light
We be the light
We be the light
We be the light
We be the light
We be the light
We be the light

(Outro)
I dey glow
I dey glow
Like a street light
Yeah

I dey glow
For the city
For the dream
I dey glow
Yeah
