Lyrics
I no be armed robber, moshishe nile kile gbayi nita
Mo ja kilometers, kowope kile jeun toda
Omo, I can’t lie when money no dey o’n jeju nigga
For the paper chasing makorin bi Justin Bieber

Tell me what to do, na to make this dollar
Ori won o da, shawon loya si hundred dollar
Ki mummy shati wapa, ko dejora
