Refrain
Wetin be this one like this (What’s is this?)
Been through many things
Many many gists
Though I still find my peace
Imole (Brightness.)
Oh I, I dey do like say me I no dey see (I act like I can’t see)
Do like say I no dey hear (Act like I don’t hear.)
Which kind person be this? (What kind of a person is this?)
Oh I, wetin be this one like this? (What is this?)
Been through many things
La ti aiye Genesis (Since the days of Genesis (Beginning))
I will be dealing with frenemies
Survivor, survivor
Mi o ni gba, mi o ni gba (I won’t accept.)
Money chaser, faster than a bullet
Flying like a rocket
Badman wey never rest
King of South and the West
Faster than a car
Won fe ba mi sa (They want to race with me.)
Faster than a Benz oh
———————–
Bad vibes on the ground
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Give me my sound, I am so vibical, olorun
Aiye lo okada won de tun ni car (The world uses motorcycles and cars.)
Dem wan tear your knicker (They want to tear your knicker.)
Dem wan to turn your teacher (They want to become your teacher.)
Before you hamma oh my n#gga, oh my n#gga(Before you become successful my n#gga)
You go dey when I no get ginger? (Would you be there if I don’t have the ginger.)
Oh my n#gga, oh my n#gga
Shey you go dey when I no get raba? (Would you be there when I don’t have money?)
Cause my mama, cause my mama been praying for me (Cause, my mum has been praying for me.)
Say make I jere (That I should reap/be successful.)
Oh my babe, oh my babe
Shey you go dey before my surulere? (Would you be there before my patience becomes profitable?)
