From Naija with Ice

Yeah yeah… Omo, I don land Canada o!

From Naija to Toronto,

New life, new journey…

But e no easy!

I land Canada with my little bag,

Big big dream but my pocket sag,

Cold weather, snow everywhere,

I dey ask myself,

“How I go survive here?”

Back home, everybody know my name,

Come Canada, nobody know my face,

Resume everywhere, job no dey come,

But I tell myself,

“I no go run.”

Canada life, Canada life,

E sweet sometimes, sometimes e hard like life,

Newcomer hustle from morning till night,

Looking for a better future,

looking for light. Canada life,

Canada life, Snow dey fall but we still dey fight,

From zero to something,

we go make am right,

One day, one day,

everything go alright. (ooh-yeah)

Rent too high, grocery don rise,

Phone bill, hydro, everything get price,

Bus and subway, every day I ride,

Nine-to-five hustle just to stay alive.

I miss my people,

I miss my food,

I miss the party and the Naija mood,

But Canada give me another chance,

So I keep moving,

I no go stop my plans.

Nobody tell me say e go easy,

Nobody tell me say e go quick,

But if you get dream and you believe,

Small small, you go make it big.

Canada life, Canada life,

E sweet sometimes, sometimes e hard like life,

Newcomer hustle from morning till night,

Looking for a better future,

looking for light. Canada life,

Canada life, Snow dey fall but we still dey fight,

From zero to something,

we go make am right,

One day, one day,

everything go alright.

(alright alright)

Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, Newcomers dey hustle every corner,

Engineer driving Uber, Graduate working warehouse worker.

No shame, na temporary stage,

Everybody get their own page,

Keep your faith, keep your vision,

Tomorrow fit change your situation.

From Naija to Canada…

We came with dreams.

We came with hope.

We came to build a better life.

Canada life…

E no easy, but we move.

One day… We go tell the story and smile.
