Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

Them no go understand
What you face on your own
When you run your race
No one can see
No one can feel
But you keep it cool
Cos you tryna keep it real
You don dey grind too long no be today
On your grind so long but it's not a waste
Soon them go see your actions speak
This is just a test soon it will be complete

Cos if you follow wetin dem talk you no go make am at all
And if you follow wetin dem do you no go make am at all
When you see that mountain you're gonna climb it
You're gonna climb
When you see that mountain you're gonna climb it
You're gonna climb
You're gonna climb eh oh oh oh

Cos I can feel it nothing can kill me
In the battlefold I hope you've understood

Cos if you follow wetin dem talk you no go make am at all
And if you follow wetin dem do you no go make am at all
When you see the mountain you're gonna climb it
When you see the mountain you're gonna climb it

When you hear the sound make you sing along
Ignite the fire wey dey burn through your bones

Overall Meaning

The song "Mountain" by Nigerian singer Waje conveys a message about perseverance, determination, and the ability to overcome challenges. In the first verse, she talks about how it can be difficult to explain or convey the struggles that one faces when trying to achieve their goals or dreams. No one else can truly see or feel the weight of the challenges one faces but oneself. Despite this, Waje encourages her listeners to keep striving and "keep it cool" as they stay true to themselves.


The chorus focuses on the idea that success is possible even when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. She encourages people to not listen to or blindly follow the advice and actions of others, but instead forge their own path and eventually climb their own mountain. The second verse highlights how once a person has reached their goal, it will feel all the more rewarding because of the obstacles they overcame to achieve it. Waje's message is one of hope, resilience, and the importance of staying true to oneself in order to find success.
