Hiya
Ponponpon kiri pon
How many years e go take till you blow oh
Pon kiri ponponpon
Pastor pastor i i in the beningin
Seven seven seven day fasting

Emi lomo ton bere ton bere
Won ni mo kuru bi egbere bi egbere
Won no more yawere bi dere Denrele o
But I dey voice anything oya ke lo bere
Emi lomo ton bere ton bere
Won ni mo kuru bi egbere bi egbere
Won no more yawere bi dere Denrele o
But I dey voice anything oya ke lo bere Codename

No go misperform ogbeni dapada
No need jersey before i ball on their father
Baby boy sh**ting on y'all ejo diaper da
Going ten times harder than your favorite rapper
Uhn dey don dey fine person wey no lost
Bros oga boss only God is bigger than us
Boss to endorse I be the head you be the tail
Trust I don't gat sauce coin to prove their point
Oya dapada dapada dapada dapada
Even if na campala still looking dapper pra pra
Them no fit touch me I'm magic abracadabra odeshi isakaba
Dapada dapada da
Came with her man but ended up at the front seat of my car
You know ain't nobody badder I say nobody badder
Girls that climb the ladder from okada to
