Verse 1 (Naira Marley and Mohbad)
To ba soro owo forget (If you are not talking about money, forget.)
Oga ade I’m not interested (Mr./Mrs. I am not interested.)
Owo lemi ma ‘n wa ka kiri (Owo owo) (It is money I am looking for.)
Ki ebi ma ba pa mummy (So that hunger doesn’t kill my mummy.)
File ko ma lo be (Leave, let it flow like that.)
Nobody can stop me (Yeah yeah yeah)
I’m getting money
From sunday to sunday
Opo ni English is plenty (Opo po po) (Opo in English means it is plenty.)
Ah o baje ti (It can’t spoil.)
Ko sowo ni pocket-i (Kosowo kosowo) (There is no money in the pocket.)
O kan lo ‘n package (You are just packaging)
Verse 2 (Mohbad)
Duro ko to polowo (Wait before you call that rich person.)
Ma lo b’awon s’ogun owo (Don’t join them in doing blood/ritual money.)
Ti alert ba ti dun pan pan (Once the alert tone sounds.)
Me I keep it on a low (I keep it on a low.)
Because I want money I don’t need love
I’m so sorry
See my mama calling I’m always working
Chorus (Mohbad and Naira Marley)
I love everything about you (Owo)
You know I can’t do without you
Owo kudi ego (Money.)
Car, shoes everything around me
Money solve major issues Miami
That’s why your b#tch call me daddy
That’s why your b#tch call me zaddy
Car, shoes everything around me
Money solve major issues Miami
That’s why your b#tch call me daddy
That’s why your b#tch call me zaddy
