Instrumental Intro
Oh
Oh no
Eh-yeah, eh-yeah
Na which kind life wey I never see – What kind of life have I not seen?
I carry God, so I fear nothing – God is with me so I fear nothing
Steady increasing the commas
Comma, comma, commas
Original, no be parody – Original, it is not fake
E no fit clear for your memory – It is not possible for you to forget
Whether na winter or summer, ajeh – Ajeh is a Yoruba slang showing a form of boldness in yourself and words
Barnados Havana
Living life
See my fire burnin’ bright
Wetin dey inside me? – What is inside me
Smallie wey dey mighty – I am small but mighty
Dem never know I kala tori mo fine – They dont know I am wicked because I am pretty
Check and balance everything inside my mind daily
Trust me, you can’t fool me
Energy wrong, I log off
Mowa friendly and conscious – I am friendly and conscious
I’m allergic to sokuso I- I am allergice to nonsense
I’m not ready for confusion (no, no, no, no)
Dem telly me make I show love (show love) – They told me to show love
Sability on gbona – my ability and can do is on fire
Everything na connection
I’m not ready for confusion, oh
Things happen inside life
Draw tattoo, make I live my life
Dreams come true, if na fight – Dreams come true even if its through fight
Fight the fight, make you no go tire – fight the fight, don’t get tired
Fire dey go, fire dey go – keep talking, keep talking
You need to put your body and soul
Leave your worries alone
