“Toma Toma”
Intro….incantations
Since ’21 dem dance my toma toma – Since the age of 21 they have been dancing to my tune
I never stopped giving back to back to back
All ah the girls I give them koba koba – All the girls, I have been giving them trouble
No replica
‘Cause I am the main man
One of one
Ten over ten
Nobody better
They eat whatever I serve
Ferragamo, Gucci I get
Cartier, roley I wear
I too fresh I’m aware
Not on my level, from where to where to where?
What are you trying to tell me?
You’ve never ever seen a very humble cocky nigga like me? yeah
Ooh yes say
I go invite all my trolls to come party with me someday
‘Cause all in the end I still won
Nothing spoil
So mi so
Move away, move away, move away from my section
Look away, look away I go give you too much pressure
Who dey? Who dey? – Who is here
Number one onise kuse – Number one active individual
Twerk it, push it push it
Mami aa-haa-aah-haa-aah-ahhh
Olá, como vai você? Meu nome é Ru – Hello how are you? My name is Ru
Qual o seu nome, baby? May I know you? – What is your name baby? May I know you?
Olá, como vai você? Meu nome é Ru – Hello how are you? My name is Ru
Qual o seu nome, baby? May I know you? – What is your name baby? May I know you?

Cartier roley I wear
I too fresh I’m aware

Bi mo se n korin mi wo n koje koje – As I was singing, I am looking at him walking
Shey make I clear you clear you – Do you want me to tackle you
How e dey be for Lagos – How does it work in Lagos, Nigeria
Make money no finish for pocket – My pocket should not be empty of money
E cause see finish – It results in people looking down on you
Rain dey fall no mean say storm is over – Rain falling does not mean the storm is over
So no go dey fungba – So do not get over excited
Nothing dey bother – Notting worries you
Omo jah Jehovah – Son of Jehovah
One person no fit do convoy my guy – One person cannot be an army
24/7 mi owo ni mo fi n ka ki n le ma kana – I am forever counting my money so I do not fall in line
