GWAGWALADA Lyrics

Beni kolobi, kuna ni mo bi
Jaani su na ji shun
Kuna kolobi, kwasi kolobi
Man in color nation
Beni kolobi, in that koloshin
Sani kolobi shun
Gwagwalada, Gwagwalada, ye
Beni kolobi, kuna ni mo bi
Jaani su na ji shun
Kuna kolobi, kwasi kolobi
Man in color nation
Beni kolobi, in that koloshin
Sani kolobi shun
Gwagwalada, Gwagwalada
