Lyrics

[Intro]
From Surulere to Isale Eko
Ikoyi and Yaba
Everybody, everywhere you go
Got to be just who you are
Down in London
To Africa
Got to be just who you are
Everybody, everywhere you go
Just, just, just, just be who you are
[Chorus]
From Surulere to Isale Eko
Ikoyi, Yaba
Everybody, everywhere you go
Got to be who you are
From Surulere to Isale Eko
Ikoyi, Yaba
Down in London
To Africa
Got to be who you are
[Verse 1]
I watch the rain as it continues to fall outside my window pane
Seems to me, when I picture you, that you're not so far away
You smile at me like the sunshine appears on a sunny day
It doesn’t matter where we are
We will always be the same
[Chorus]
From Surulere to Isale Eko
Ikoyi, Yaba
Down in London
To Africa
Got to be who you are
From Surulere to Isale Eko
Ikoyi, Yaba
Everybody, everywhere you go
Got to be who you are
[Verse 2]
And the sun goes up
And the sun goes down
Everybody get up
Everybody get down
And the sun goes up
And the sun goes down
Everybody get up
Everybody get down
And the sun goes up
And the sun goes down
Everybody get up
Everybody get down
And the sun goes up
And the sun goes down
Everybody get up
[Chorus]
From Surulere to Isale Eko
Ikoyi, Yaba
Down in London
To Africa
Got to be who you are
From Surulere to Isale Eko
Ikoyi, Yaba
Everybody, everywhere you go
Got to be who you are
[Outro]
From Surulere
Down in London
From Surulere
Everybody
