Lyrics

Were

Were-we, were-we, were-we (Teniii)

Were-we (eh-eh), were-we (oh-yea), were-we(oh-no)

Were, were, lo ba mi se, shomo?

Were, were, lo ba mi se, shomo?

Oun ti mo ti'n wa lati jo ojo yi wa, baba ba mi seee

Were, were, lo ba mi se, shomo?

Aiye o fe o, aye o fe, aye ofe ka gberu, kaso, aye o fe

(Ori e ni-ni ba ni gbe eru nla dori)

Aye o fe (aye o fe), aye o fe, shomo? (Aye o fe)

'Cause they are waitin' on youuu, they are waitin' on you to fall

They are waiting on youu- eyiii, they are waitin' on you to die

Just don't give up, don't give up

Just stay strong, stay strong eyiii

Were, were, lo ma ba e se, shomo?

Were, were, lo ba mi se, shomo? (Se shomo)

Were, were, lo ba mi se, shomo? (Se shomo)

Oun ti mo ti'n wa lati jo ojo yi iwa, baba ba mi se

Were, were, lo ba mi se, shomo?

(Eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh)

Don't look back, don't look back my brother

Eh-oh (eh-oh-eeh-oh) ayy

Do your best, do your best my sister (eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh)

When you run, make sure you buckle your shoe

Eh-oh (ayy-oh-ayy-oh) ayy

Make sure that you don't fall 'cause they

Waitin' on you, they waitin' on you to fall

They are waitin' for you eyiii, they waitin' on you to die

Just don't give up, don't give up

Just stay strong, stay strong eyii

Were, were, lo ma ba e se, shomo?

Were, were, lo ba mi se, shomo? (Se shomo)

Were, were lo ba mi se, shomo?

Oun ti mo ti'n wa la ti ijo ojo yi iwa, baba ba mi se e

Were, were, lo ba mi se, shomo?

Oun ti mo ti'n wa la ti ijo jo yi wa

Baba ba mi se (were-were-we, were-were-we, were-were-we)

Were, were lo ba mi se, shomo?
