Yes o, yes o, yes! I’m a winner!!! I’ve been watching the recently released video by the MTN Project Fame West Africa 2010 finalists. It’s really brilliant, I must tell you. It is set in the University of Lagos and I’m pretty familiar with those locations, especially the Amphitheatre, very close to the Student Union Building.

Here for your enjoyment is the video directed by Bayo Alawiye (music was produced by highly respected Cobhams Asuquo), featuring all the ‘winners’ including Chidinma, Kesse (Ghana), Eyo, Yetunde, Tolu and Ochuko. This sure keeps our mouths watering as we anticipate the release of the other songs of the compilation album. Indulge!!!

I have written out the lyrics of the song here for you. Enjoy! 🙂

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh x3

Verse 1
I climbed so many mountains this time
I fought so many battles, but I came through stronger
I race across the finish line, yea/ I can hear the cheering crowd/ And that only means one thing

Bridge:
I can’t let my breath go/ I cannot believe no,
Is it really me? oh/ I’m a winner
I can hear the drum roll/ Feel my body explode
Gotta let the world know/ I’m a winner

Chorus:
See my name in gold I’m a winner
Let the whole world know I’m a winner
Even when my chances grow thinner
In the end I know I’m a winner
So, let the lights go up/ Let the crowd stand up
Then you hear the sound of a winner
Let the lights go up Let the crowd stand up
Time to take a bow, I’m a winner
Yes o, yes o, yes o, yes o, yes o, yes/ I’m a winner x2

Verse 2:
I’ve seen so many come and go…
Enough to make me give up/ But it made me stronger
No way I’m gonna let this go/
Cos the taste of victory is so much sweeter

Bridge:
I can’t let my breath go/ I cannot believe, no,
Is it really me? oh/ I’m a winner
I can hear the drum roll/ Feel my body explode
Gotta let the whole world know/ I’m a winner

Chorus

If you know you’re a winner/ let me see your hands go oh oh… [x2 –Eyo; Tolu]
If you know you’re a winner/ let me hear you say ‘Yes o’! (yes) ‘Yes o’!

(Where’re the winners at?)

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh x3

(Where’re the winners at?)

Chorus x2
