airy pads
Mid‑tempo Nigerian afrobeats groove
bright log drums and bouncing bassline
shimmery guitars skanking off the snare. Male vocals
catchy call‑and‑response hooks
subtle highlife horns in the chorus. Verses stay percussive and conversational; choruses open with stacked harmonies
and crowd-style backing chants. Energy grows each section with ad‑libs and short melodic riffs for maximum dancefloor pull.

Letra
[Intro]
Old things don pass away
New life for today (yeah yeah)
Mac‑Billions for your case
We go love
We go relate (oh)
[Verse 1]
Everybody for this world no be the same
Different color
Different tribe
But na one name
If your papa vex before
Make you break that chain
Na your own heart you go carry for this new lane
[Chorus]
Old things don pass away
Make we love for today
No dey judge me by my surname
Na my spirit you go rate
Old things don pass away (eh)
Make we throw hate away (go)
Hand in hand we go dey
New story we dey create
[Verse 2]
Dem talk say “this people no fit enter house”
Olden day yarn
Dem dey use am like chain for mouth
But we don wise now
We dey chase one course
Na unity be the flex
No be ancient laws
[Chorus]
Old things don pass away
Make we love for today
No dey fear another face
Na the same blood we relate
Old things don pass away (yeah)
Make we break that delay
Open gate
Open way
New season don show face
[Verse 3]
See that girl from the side wey you no sabi
If you hear her story
You go bow
You go just agree
Say the pain wey she carry
You self fit feel
So why you go use old talk just to block her still
[Chorus]
Old things don pass away
Make we use love repay
All the hurt
All the shade
Make we wipe
Make we erase
Old things don pass away (eh)
Na new mind we dey chase
From the street to the place
We go turn hate to praise
[Verse 4]
Dem tell you say “no marry from that clan”
Who be the person wey sign that kind ban
If na old fight wey dem fight for farm
Why we go dey drag am reach this time?
[Verse 5]
Mac‑Billions dey talk
Make you reason am well
If you cut person off
You fit cut yourself
’Cause the help wey you find fit dey him hand
But tradition don blind
You no fit understand
[Chorus]
Old things don pass away
Make we loose every chain
No dey hide
No dey shame
Come together
No complain
Old things don pass away (woah)
Make we stand
Make we say
From today
From today
Na new love we portray
[Verse 6]
Na so dem take talk say “this tribe too proud”
Another one say “that side too loud”
But when we dance for the jam
We dey move one crowd
Who still remember who be north
Who be south?
[Verse 7]
If your mama tell you story wey dey cut like knife
Use am learn
No use am dey cage your life
You fit choose peace
You fit choose light
Na your own eye go decide wetin be right
[Chorus]
Old things don pass away
Make your heart just obey
If e pure
If e straight
Na the real barricade
Old things don pass away (yeah)
Make we clear every hate
Na together we great
Na together we elevate
[Verse 8]
See your neighbor wey dey hustle same way like you
Him prayer
Him tears
Na the same thing too
So why you go use old gist carry am for head
When you fit use that same time to dey share your bread
[Verse 9]
See church
See mosque
Everybody dey pray
Different style but we find the same way
If God no dey do “I choose only my race”
Who you be to dey push person from space?
[Chorus]
Old things don pass away
Make we join hand to pray
Make the love overtake
Every boundary we make
Old things don pass away (eh)
Make we open the gate
From the hood to estate
Na one people
One state
[Verse 10]
Naija flavor for my blood
I dey sing am loud
From the east to the west
We be one big crowd
Mac‑Billions don talk
Make e enter cloud
“Old things don pass” we
Old things don pass away
New life for today (yeah yeah)
Mac‑Billions for your case
We go love
We go relate (oh)
[Verse 1]
Everybody for this world no be the same
