[Intro – soft keys, shakers, distant choir hums]
Dem talk say, “No matter how long night be, morning must break.”
And me, I believe am.
Because God no dey sleep.
Today… go beta.
[Verse 1]
I don waka road wey dry pass harmattan
Tears wash my face like say na flood land
Dem promise help, but na mouth dem dey run
But God still dey show up, even when all man don run
Dem mock me say my light don off
But I tell dem, “Even firewood wey smoke today, go burn tomorrow.”
I dey hold God tight, I no dey let go
Na Him dey turn zero story to hero show
[Pre-Chorus – mellow but building]
If life knock you down, no stay ground
Na who rise back dey collect crown
I hear one voice wey calm like breeze:
> “Even tortoise reach ark, no be by speed.”
[Chorus – Full groove, call and response]
I’ve got that feeling that today’s gonna be a good day
Even if wahala dey, God go clear the way
Na Him be my strength, no delay
I’ve got that feeling that today’s gonna be a good day
Dem fit talk say rain dey beat me
But rain no fit wash lion pride, I still be king
I hold on strong, na God dey win
I’ve got that feeling that today’s gonna be a good day
[Verse 2 – Stronger tone, bolder spirit]
Dem laugh me say my chapter don close
But “Na who give up lose” — and me I refuse
I sow tears, now I dey prepare to reap
Even for bush, God dey find lost sheep
Na small pot dey cook sweet soup
And “Na from clap dance dey start,” so I dey groove
No be speed, na direction sure pass
I dey move with grace — nothing fit harass
[Pre-Chorus – with background harmony]
If sun hide face, I still dey shine
Cos God light no dey run overtime
I get that quiet whisper inside:
> “Slow no mean lost — e just mean refined.”
[Chorus – Energetic with choir echo]
I’ve got that feeling that today’s gonna be a good day
Even if I dey trek, joy go meet me for way
Na God dey drive, I no go stray
I’ve got that feeling that today’s gonna be a good day
Tears fit drop, but dem no go stay
Like rain wey pass, sun go show face
I don pray, now I dey give praise
I’ve got that feeling that today’s gonna be a good day
[Bridge – Spoken Word + rhythm break]
> “Rain fit beat lion, but e no go wash him pride.”
“Even egg wey fall for sand fit still hatch, if God cover am.”
“Dem fit count you out, but if God count you in — game never over.”
No envy person season, your own time dey come.
Just hold on.
Cos… today go beta.
[Final Chorus – Soft then building to high praise]
I’ve got that feeling that today’s gonna be a good day
(Even with pain, still I go dey pray)
I’ve got that feeling that today’s gonna be a good day
(Baba God no go throw me away)
I’ve got that feeling that today’s gonna be a good day
(Grace go speak even when mouth lock gate)
I no dey fear — e go end in praise
I’ve got that feeling that today’s gonna be a good day
[Outro – fading choir chants + mellow drum loop]
Today… go beta o
No matter wetin eye see…
Today… go beta o
My God dey run my matter…
I’ve got that feeling…
Today… go beta o
