Chike “Nwoke Oma” lyrics
When you dey hustle, you go dey all alone
When you succeed, they go call you their own
Na because you don dey for the throne
They dey call you Nwoke Oma
When you dey hustle, you go dey all alone
When you succeed, they go call you their own
When they see say you dey for the throne
They go call you Nwoke Oma
You can never trust anybody
They only there for the money
Protect your soul and your body
No let anybody do you corny
When the raba steady coming
Your name go dey touch ceiling
Anything you do e go turn hailing
They go call you Nwoke Oma, Nwoke Oma o
When you dey hustle, you go dey all alone
When you succeed, they go call you their own
Na because you don dey for the throne
They dey call you Nwoke Oma
When you dey hustle, you go dey all alone
When you succeed, they go call you their own
Na because you don dey for the throne
They dey call you Nwoke Oma
(Say) Now I know, now I know
How it feels
Only to be loved, for the things that you give
Now I know, now I know
How it feels
Only to be there, for the things that you give
When the raba steady coming
Your name go dey touch ceiling
Anything you do e go turn hailing
They go call you Nwoke Oma, Nwoke Oma o
When you dey hustle, you go dey all alone
When you succeed, they go call you their own
Na because you don dey for throne
They dey call you Nwoke Oma (They go tell you come here, you belong to us)
When you dey hustle, you go dey all alone
When you succeed, dey go call you their own (Wetin you get, na we get am)
Na because you don dey for the throne
They dey call you Nwoke Oma (Na we get am, oh no)
(Say) Now they treating me different
Oh, I know they are treating me different
And they showing me love
Taking me places
Telling everybody say we be friends
Now the raba steady coming
My name don dey touch ceiling
Anything I do e dey turn hailing
They dey call me Nwoke Oma, I be Nwoke Oma o
When you dey hustle, you go dey all alone
When you succeed, they go call you their own
Na because you don dey for the throne
They dey call you Nwoke Oma (Na the thing, wey I see I dey talk)
When you dey hustle, you go dey all alone
When you succeed, dey go call you their own (Na the thing, wey I see I dey talk)
Na because you don dey for the throne
They dey call you Nwoke Oma

Chike Nwoke Oma review
While “Nwoke Oma” has been praised by many for its truth depiction, does it signal a good pace for Chike’s upcoming album?
Nwoke Oma has that “Beautiful People” vibe, but it is different in tune even though the lyrics are the same genre.
One of the things that make “Nwoke Oma” a Beautiful song is the unique lyrics.

Recently, when people sing about people following them around because of fame and money, it sounds trite no matter how real the artist tends to get.
But with “Nwoke Oma”, the lyrics have been rebranded so much that we can’t help but listen.
This brings us to the point of relatability. Chike makes “Nwoke Oma” very relatable. You try to make it make sense to you and your environment even though you might not be a celebrity.
He says:
“When you succeed, dem go call you their own”
No one wants to associate with a loser, which then brings us to the point that Chike’s “Nwoke Oma” is not about people who love you just because you are great, but about accepting and recognising what true love is and what circumstantial love is.
It is impossible to not get attention or respect as a successful person, but Chike’s point in “Nwoke Oma” is that you should not get swayed by it, because it may even be fleeting.
People support you when it looks like you are doing good and say bad things about you when it seems you are down.

Proven, Chike’s “Nwoke Oma” is not a disappointment, and as sermonic as it sounds, it doesn’t get in the way of proving that circumstantial love is common and predictable.
“Nwoke Oma” signals a good pace for Chike’s forthcoming album.
But Chike will need to do more than “Nwoke Oma” on his forthcoming album. To sustain the standard of his debut album- “Boo of the Booless”, there needs to be huge amount of versatility and song direction.
This won’t be a problem at all considering that he’s a pro when it comes to music, and he never disappoints!
