Local Champion Lyrics

Hey guys, this will make absolutely no sense to you if you don't understand the West African Pidgin English. But here are the lyrics to Nnekas amazing song, Local Champion. I'll try to translate in a subsequent post.

Shebi I be half caste, because I carry colour follow body (borrow pose)
Shebi I be villager, because I get swag wey lagos woman no get
You talk sey I be illiterate because I get waffi attitude for inside my blood
I no go lie, I tried to adjust to your oyibo Lagos style
But I failed

I be Naija reggae
I be warri reggae
Dem born me near Okporikoko village
I be warri reggae
Dem say I be waffi mugu
But dem see me for your Lagos city poster

Waffi reggae
I be Naija reggae

Dem born me near Okporikoko village
I be warri reggae
Dem say I be waffi mugu
But dem see me for your Lagos city poster

Make we no lie, na you talk sey my food resemble mama put own
But you must confess, na my local way dey sweet you pass
Shebi you dey miss me now, coz I no wear skirt, koi koi shoe and weave-on
Because I no like your flashy way, you dump originality (dump, dump me)

Naija reggae, warri reggae,
Dem born me near Okprikoko village
Warri reggae, waffi reggae,
Dem see me for your Lagos city poster
