Chorus
You carry me when some carry there Gods
You feed me Lord when some feed there Gods
You fight for me when some fight for there Gods
Jesus You no dey use me play oh
(x2)
Jesus You no dey use me play oh
Verse
You carry me when some carry there Gods
You take care of me like a sheep
When others feed their Gods
You never allow me to be put to shame
King of kings, there's no other God like You
You are the God that changes all situation
Great and mighty God
The all knowing God that has the final say
King of kings, who you cry to ad He will come
And do more than Your expectations
The covenant keeping God
There's nobody like You
There's no mountain that can't be moved
in Your name, the endless God
You deserve my and lifting of our hands
Bridge
Life giver life changer
Jehovah the covenant keeping God
Destiny maker oh
Mountain mover
Jehovah the covenant keeping God
(x3)

Meaning & Inspiration
The title phrase in “You No Dey Use Me Play” carries the song’s whole weight: God does not treat the worshiper as an afterthought or a toy. The chorus draws a sharp contrast between the living God and the gods other people carry, feed, and fight for. Here, it is the other way around—God carries, feeds, and fights for the speaker. That reversal says something about divine initiative. Faith is not about keeping an idol alive; it is being shepherded by One who needs no upkeep.
The verse moves into a series of names: King of kings, covenant-keeping God, mountain mover, destiny maker. These are not just titles. They describe a God who responds to cries, changes situations, and holds the final word. The bridge repeats “covenant keeping God” as a kind of anchor. God’s reliability rests on God’s own character, not on human performance.
The song ends in praise, but the praise rises from testimony: God has already acted. The lifted hands are a response, not a transaction.
