Lyrics
I no lie (no no no)
When I pull up proper the ground gonna shake
And when I rise (oh oh rise)
See the deeper down I’ve been
So too shall I rise
I no go die (no no no)
I’m in this forever man
Look in my eye
No lie
No
Dream big
It’s free
At the end of the day man it is for it is
It’s free, yeah
Dream big
It’s free
At the end of the day man it is for it is
It’s free, yeah
I know it’s been late nights for you
Now you question if this is for you
Grind daily we hustle you know
For what direction
What I wanna know
See my why needs a little shaping
Scraping
Shape shifting
New direction
God blessing
Need to access what is meant for me
No time eh but it is what it is
It is what it is

At the end of the day man it is for it is

At the end of the day man it is for it is

Free
Oh Lord
Free from the things that cause me pain
Free from the wicked and shackle and chains
Free from the bondage and the complaint na
Me na go live mi life in vein
Now see me I’m dreaming again
Innad me dream I was the toppest of the toppest innad the game ei
Mansion inna di sky see me I’m ballin’
Pan mi enemies mi bosa champaign
Speed up I’m never limiting
Living large my reality
My life is too short to be living a lie
And that’s why I’m dreaming big
Dream big

At the end of the day man it is for it is
It’s free, yeah

At the end of the day man it is for it is
