Hi Hive members, welcome to my page. I'm @daniky and this is my entry for week 251 of Hive Open Mic. The theme of the week is titled "High School" and today I want to introduce a song that we used to sing in my high school many years ago. This song is an African song titled "Four years" by Styl-plus. This song was originally sung in Pidgin English. I'll make sure you can understand what it means. Sing along with me as we watch the video above. The lyrics and source of the song are below.

Oh yeah, we still dey o
Four years don waka
We still dey carry go
Nobody waka, nobody go solo
Baba God o lawa ke si o, na your grace o
A dupe o.
1; Shifi
People talk say khaki no be leather
But we have stayed through the rain and the stormy weather
Whether dem like am or whether dem no send or whether
dem pretend
We still dey o.
People talk say one day e go better
But we say that today is already better
For my left and my right
I see Tunde and Zeal
Wetin I fee-eel be say...
Four years don waka
We still dey carry go
Nobody waka, nobody go solo
Baba God o lawa ke si o, na your grace o
A dupe o.
2;
People say we go breakup when we make money
But we have met and have stayed as a family
Zeal; Whether we fight o
Or whether we quarrel
Over money or girl
We still dey o.
People talk say na me go first go solo
Then I wander how they can see tomorrow o o
Where would I be without Shifi and Tunde e
Maybe I go wound e e e
Four years don waka
We still dey carry go
Nobody waka, nobody go solo
Baba God o lawa ke si o, na your grace o
A dupe o.
HOOK;
Baba a dupe o o o
Baba a dupe o o o
Baba a dupe o o o
Baba
3; Tunde
1997 was the year I met Shifi
Later we were joined by Lanre and Yemi
1998 Lanre passed away
Zeal came with a brighter day
2-0-0-3 came T-jazz and Joey
Sunky and Mekoyo produced Olufunmi
Oh how I wish Lanre and Yemi were here
But I thank you Lord cos
Four years don waka
We still dey carry go
Nobody waka, nobody go solo
Baba God o lawa ke si o, na your grace o
A dupe o.

This song is an expression of gratitude to Almighty God for His preservation and care of our lives as individuals. Many of those who started this year with us were unable to see the beginning of February. The fact that we are alive is all by the grace of God, and for that we are very grateful to our Creator.
A story was told of a friend of styl-plus who lost his life in the cold hands of death. One just needs to cheer up and keep going because one cannot change the course of nature except through God's intervention. The song said "we are still alive." This means that despite the problems of life, we are still breathing and alive. So we should cheer up and keep going as life goes on.
Below is the original video of the song i presented above.
