OK... uhnn
If you are getting us, i'm getting you
It's blackmagic baby... oooh weeee
Hehe
I'm great (iiiiiiiikon)
I see the different colors of the rainbow
Which one i go take oo
All that glitters ain't gold
It's all about the ego
Yellow or puple will be alright
There's something about green i just can't hide
Yellow or puple will be alright
There's something about green i just can't hide
On your mark get set,
You know blackmagic e no dey fear fear
They can ban okada but not the keke
I cant cant slack when it comes to pepper
Im a bloody bas... tard
Matter of fact im a monster
And i make monster music, cant conquer
Who do this monster beat na ikon sir
And i got flows thats sick they cause cancer
Raising lots of questions cant answer
Amazin now they dredd me like rasta
Blaze till my eyes like asian
Don't drive honda
Homeboi slizzy pulling up in a tundra, uhn!
Thats whatever it do
Keep the flow chinchilla smooooth
Far from the regular but i blend with a few
You can ask dirty girl
She'll tell you he's ruder with a gulder
Please dont ask me why
Thats the reason why baby got pacified
And i know ejay u'll make lots of naira
But dont let it get to you
Cos your friends gonna screw you over
10 million or more you know now
I see the different colors of the rainbow
Which one i go take oo
All that glitters ain't gold
It's all about the ego
Yellow or puple will be alright
There's something about green i just can't hide
Yellow or puple will be alright
There's something about green i just can't hide
I see the different colors of the rainbow
Which one i go take oo
All that glitters ain't gold
It's all about the ego
Yellow or puple will be alright
There's something about green i just can't hide
Yellow or puple will be alright
There's something about green i just can't hide

You're wack and fake
I'm real and i can tell you that to you face

Because after that
I see the different colors of the rainbow
Which one i go take oo
All that glitters ain't gold
It's all about the ego
Yellow or puple will be alright
There's something about green i just can't hide
Yellow or puple will be alright
There's something about green i just can't hide
I see the different colors of the rainbow
Which one i go take oo
All that glitters ain't gold
It's all about the ego
Yellow or puple will be alright
There's something about green i just can't hide
Yellow or puple will be alright
There's something about green i just can't hide
