Plenty enemies
Wey dey follow me – That is following me
Maje ko mu mi – They cannot catch me
Even if nah dying minutes – Even if it is at the last minute
Emi omo ghetto – Me that is a local child
Mo ti di ajilomotor – I am now a person that drives
My grace nah auto, automatic – My grace is automatic
Wonfe bami ya photo, photo – They want to take my photo
Emi ti gbera (On God) – I have gone far
Lati 4:30 (On God) – Since 4:30
Won le wan bati (On God) – They can find me
Won mu wan file (On God) – The can catch me but they will leave me
My drip on, jek’oduro on pause (On God) – My drip, let it wait on pause
Imole (On God) – Imole is Mohbad’s other name, it means light
Owale (On God) – Bright
(On God)
When I dey ikorodu sapa….mama ronu– Back when I was in Ikorodu, when I was poor, I will be thinking
Moma so… – {inaudible]
I don work taya – I have been working tirelessly
I don pray taya – I have been praying tirelessly
I don go Mountain of Fire – I have gone to Mountain of Fire (a known Pentecostal church in Nigeria)
I know there’s a day
All my pains will go away
Till then I party away
I know there’s a day
All my pains will go away
Till then I smoke it away
I feel good panana, panana
Omo iya mi malo roonu panana panana – My mother’s son don’t be thinking
I feel good panana
Emi omo ghetto
Moti di ajilomotor
My grace nah auto, automatic
Wonfe bami ya photo, photo
Emi ti gbera (On God)
Lati 4:30 (On God)
Won le wan bati (On God)
Won mu wan file (On God)
My drip on, jek’oduro on pause (On God)

Owale (On God)
(On God)
Imole, owale – Light the bright
B’ose n mule, lo se nje – He is making a hit, he is dropping it
Lati aye tipe tipe – For a very long time
Imole, owale
B’ose n mule, lo se nje
Lati aye tipe tipe
Plenty enemies
Wey dey follow me
Maje ko mu mi
Imole
