Lyrics

23/24
Shebi I tell dem before
Make dem stop to de fenu foh
Shelayeyin (life is turning)
lwo gbon gbon (you are acting wise)
It de turn turn (it is turning around)
Bi revolver mag 44 (like revolver mag 44)

Tell me what Oluwa can’t do
Me I no skedaddle (I don’t depart quickly)
Tell me what Oluwa no fit handle
Je gbadun lo ma gbadun (if you give me peace I will give you peace)
Boya ko tan candle (maybe they should put on the candle)
Dem small Shatta Bandle

Walking poetry l am Greater
I’m a work of art Basquiat
Na gaskia (no problem)
Owo ati alafia (money and peace of mind)
Lawan wa (is what we are looking for)
Not time for drama o

Walking poetry l am Greater
I’m a work of art Basquiat
Na gaskia
Owo ati alafia
Lawan wa
Not time for drama o

El Chapo (e mi ni)
Ebenezer Obey di commander, (e mi ni)
Capone- kapo de tutti (e mi ni)
I’m on one
won ri ginger temi ri

I’m guilty if dem my say swag e dey kill
I no go appeal
Know it’s hard to swallow the pill
Tell nojeem tell Raheem may u tell wakeel
Shout out to my Sphinx, my mama na she be my Queen

Ogbor!
Talo bi omo’go?
Tani Ugo ton wu bo ama kor o
(who is the fool coming close to us, we will teach him a lesson)
No de Fuck up
O lor o ko, o mu okor
Woni iro ko emi lomo to fin yan gan
Ye!

All eyes on me biti 2pac
See I too bad
U go feel am like kolos 2drag

I no de buga I be cool cat
Never loose guard
Can’t catch the wave with a Durag

Studying me it’s an honour jeun lor
I get many pages like songs of Solomon
Lola anobi Muhammad
Koni wal lai Lai till we reach al Jana
(it will never come down forever till we reach heaven)

23/24
Shebi I tell dem before
Make dem stop to de fenu foh
Shelayeyin (life is turning)
lwo gbon gbon
(you are acting wise)
It de turn turn
(it is turning around)
Bi revolver mag 44
(like revolver mag 44)

Tell me what Oluwa can’t do
Me I no skedaddle (I don’t depart quickly)
Tell me what Oluwa no fit handle
Je gbadun lo ma gbadun (if you give me peace I will give you peace)

Dem small Shatta Bandle
