Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

CDQ ti gbohun to dun de; call me sugar boy (woss)
Awon maami gaan won para lowo with their water balm
Akube olosho lo ma n sun le lojo Friday ti Club gbona lowo lai se pe Wike nse birthday
Why drinking and driving when you can smoke and fly
You know all the time I feel at home is whenever i'm in the sky
Aah! de de mi rawo; brother mi, o n salu bata, ma te mi l'aburo mole (e jor oh)
Woss! fly wire; ma lo je ki awon temi l'orile f'ara kin
Ko seyin meji bi awon temi ni Ilorin, eyan Saraki
Jss yellow boy, no struggle no success
Eye okin mi o l'abawon; wobi
Hey, no contest, let me give it to you anyhow ti e ba se fe si
Ise yen worry mi l'opolo gan bi eni to fe sick
Ah! ah! eh! eh! gbu! gbu! gba! gba!
Beat aawon elegun ma ko le leyi ma se gragra
Masterkkraft beat is always sick; won need'e ni Yaba
Ata to, iyo dun; O sa ri wipe k'on se diagba
Ta bana one minute; please k'o de ba mi te record
O mo pe a need lati pawo si account general record
Ishe l'ogun ise, I put it to work before I flenjor
Picture mi to wa ni Vanguard, s'o feel pe ko wun Vendor?
Igba nkan lo, igba nkan bo, awon kan ti ba ni mule bi Kuala Lumpur
Awon tan beef tele tele, eran lo'n nbo ni KFC, ni si yin
No value, e wo omo kem; woss!
Mo like Eva gaan, mo n se orogun bi Aquafina
Mi o kan le fight fun e; tori mi o n se oko Sarafina
Career mi si young, mi o fe ki awon Don ko woju mi
Jen ko ere oko dele; O sa ri tribal mark loju mi
Yeebaaa... so ti ye?
Eeh! eeh! woss! ma lo go
(FINALE)
Nigghar I told you before, success is my Reg Nigghar
O tI ye eh? omo tan so

Wobi, wobi, wobi, wobi
Awon 2AK, Masterkraft on the beat
Get better boy, I will see you on the console; money
Gear up baby [baby, baby, baby]
Oya eyin ti ile, tuale! owo merin f'eyan kan
Woss; woss, woss,
Bullshit bu-bu-bu-bu... bruuuu!!! gbe le; gbe le; gbe le; O samo? O samo?

Yeeboooo oh
