[Intro] Ehen! Dem think say we don fall? Dem no know story! [Verse 1] Dem pour sand for my yard, say make grass no grow, Dem lock gate for night, say make light no show, I waka for New Benin, dust cover my shoe, But my leg get root for ground, like wall for Igun too! [Chorus 1] We no dey fall! We no dey bend! Old Benin blood dey inside skin! Push us for ground, we go stand again, Oba don bless us, we no dey end! [Verse 2] Mama sell akara for rain, fire still dey burn, Pikin fail for school today, tomorrow e go return, My broda hustle for market, e no get gain today, E laugh, e drink one beer, e say tomorrow na pay day! [Chorus 2] We no dey fall! Even when wind dey blow! We don see fire, we don waka for low, Bronze no dey rust, na wetin we know, We be Bini pikin, we no dey go! [Call and Response] Dem say we fall? (We no dey fall!) Dem say we bend? (We no dey bend!) [Bridge] My grandpapa carve bronze when war come, E no drop chisel, e talk "pikin, make you come!" E say wall fit break, but spirit no fit fall, Na that talk dey my chest when I dey hear drum call! [Final Chorus] We no dey fall! We dey stand gidigba! Leg fit shake, but heart no dey shakara! From Oba palace go Ring Road, na one matter, We no dey fall — Oba ghato kpere! We scatter darkness, we no dey fall! Ise!
