STREET NO DEY SLEEP **BreastMilkMusic | Ghanaian Afro-Dancehall / Street Afrobeats** [Intro – Chale! You see the guy wey dey push truck for junction? You see the girl wey dey carry load for market? You see the boys wey dey stand for traffic from morning till the sun go down? Everybody get one story. Everybody dey chase something. [Beat drops – heavy bassline and street percussion] [Chorus – Street no dey sleep, we dey hustle every day From the morning till the night, we dey find another way If the money no come today, tomorrow we go try Chale, nobody go tell me say my dream go die Street no dey sleep, everybody get a plan Some dey carry load, some dey work with their hands If you know the pain, put your hand up high We go make am one day, we go touch the sky [Background voices] We go make am! We go make am! [Verse 1 – See the boy for the junction, shoe no get the shine But he dey work from morning, still dey smile sometimes He get three little sisters, Mama dey house Every coin wey he collect, he dey send some out See the woman for the market, sun dey burn her skin She dey bargain with the customers, trying make a living Nobody see the tears when the business no go well But tomorrow she go come again, you know the story well And the taxi driver dey move from town to town Fuel money dey finish, traffic dey hold am down He dey think about the rent, dey think about the food But when the passenger enter, he go say, “Good morning, boss” [Pre-Chorus – We no get rich uncle We no get shortcut But the sweat on our body Go tell the story one day [Chorus – Street no dey sleep, we dey hustle every day From the morning till the night, we dey find another way If the money no come today, tomorrow we go try Chale, nobody go tell me say my dream go die Street no dey sleep, everybody get a plan Some dey carry load, some dey work with their hands If you know the pain, put your hand up high We go make am one day, we go touch the sky [Verse 2 – Some of us dey record songs inside one small room Some dey learn the barber work, hoping say their time go come Some dey drive the motorbike, some dey sell for shop Some dey wake before the sun, some no get time to stop You see the young boy for the corner with the headphones on He dey dream about the stage where thousands sing his song You see the girl wey dey study after closing her shop She dey fight for better future, she no wan give up But sometimes the pressure make your chest feel tight You go laugh with your people, then go cry at night You go tell your family, “Everything dey fine” Even when your pocket empty and your hope dey run dry [Bridge – If you fall, get up! If you tire, rest small! If the road block your way Find another road! [Street choir We no go give up! We no go give up! [Male lead] No shame in the hustle! No shame in the grind! [Street choir] We go make am one day! We go make am one day! [Final Chorus – Street no dey sleep, we dey hustle every day From the morning till the night, we dey find another way If the money no come today, tomorrow we go try Chale, nobody go tell me say my dream go die Street no dey sleep, everybody get a plan Some dey carry load, some dey work with their hands If you know the pain, put your hand up high We go make am one day, we go touch the sky [Outro – To everybody wey dey try… Nobody know your struggle. But keep your head up. Your story never finish. [Background voices] Street no dey sleep… [End]
