lyrics

(no wahala)

Radio dey play the same ten songs since January
Customer them go complain but nobody go change am
Because if I change am, argument go start
(argument go start)
And barber wey start argument no get customer

One day I play my own song small (my own song)
Nobody notice. Nobody. Not one person.

Barbershop radio
(radio o)
Ten songs, one year, everybody happy
Barbershop radio
And my own song dey number eleven

Then one boy come, sixteen, sharp ear, he hear am
He say "who be this?" and I say "na me"
He no believe me until I sing am for him live
(sing am live)
Now he dey bring him friends every Saturday morning

(harmonies, no drums)
Eleven na still a number.
Eleven na where you start.
(DROP)
