You know Ibadan, yeah? It’s a city that’s poppin’.
It’s lit, no cap, and it’s a vibe, no joke.
It’s a hustle and bustle, with folk all around.
But it’s also got mad style, it ain’t clownin’.
It’s diverse, ’cause it’s got all types of folk.
You got the hustlers, the hustlin’ all day.
You got the students,
In Ibadan, you hear the drums beat.
You see the dancers dance to the drum’s sweet heat in a delulu way.
You smell the food, hot and spicy and sweet. It is giving every time.
You taste the flavours, oh, so savoury and neat. It is on a different level.
You feel the passion, the rhythm, the pride.
You know Ibadan, the city that can’t be denied.
It’s home to many, it’s true, it’s no lie.
It’s the city that gives everything.
Ibadan, it’s the real deal, no doubt.
It’s poppin’ and fresh, like a brand-new route.
It’s lit and legit, it’s no joke, no blunder.
It’s like nothing else, it’s a true wonder.
It’s got the vibe, it’s got the flow.
Ibadan is where it’s at, you should know.
It’s the place to be, it’s the place to see.
See you next week for another one.
