Mirror on the wall Mirror on the wall
Promise to get up anytime a nigga fall
Bad man gats sharp no be me dem go dull
Baba God check your phone you go see missed call
Mirror on the wall mirror on the wall
Promise to get up anytime a nigga fall
Bad man gats sharp no be me dem go dull
Baba God check your phone you go see missed call

I see the buildings collapsing
RIP to the kids wey dey the accident
Even the third mainland bridge is getting weak
Thatโ€™s something we need to fix
This set of teeth we are gnashing them
Cos we no dey happy at all
Our country getting drag on the floor
Anybody can kill anybody and get away with it
If am in trouble I donโ€™t know who to call
And If anybody says police you need a brain replacement
They only come to take the eyewitnesses statement
Them no dey chase armed robbers again
If them no arrest yahoo boy wey get Benz wetin dem gain aye
Got my PVC but there was no need to use it
Almost didnโ€™t cast my vote cos I already knew who was winning yeah yeah
You right you right
The country isnโ€™t moving this is the end of the beginning haha

Jokes on you you sold your vote
Was rich for a week and now you broke
Not too young to run na yarns
you run you mouth dey run you down
Quote me donโ€™t doubt me
Itโ€™s only in Nigeria the President is older than the country
E get somethings I no fit talk trust me
Cos if I do like pimples dem go burst me

Mirror on the wall mirror on the wall
Promise to get up anytime a nigga fall
Bad man gats sharp no be me dem go dull
Baba God check your phone you go see missed call
Mirror on the wall mirror on the wall
Promise to get up anytime a nigga fall
Bad man gats sharp no be me dem go dull
Baba God check your phone you go see missed call

The money no dey circulate well
No be everybody wey dey chop 3square
Eh God shine your light on PHCN
We only need to fuel car we no need gen
The government dey turn people to nuisance
See them dey do money ritual see dem dey use pant
How can you kill your own blood sister
Man gun down by a Custom Officer
Cos of Five thousand Naira no be the way ooo
Your prick fit miss if you give beggar money oo
Even some are depending on give away
Na why person fit shoot naked for only 50k
(Ehn Etinosa that one loud ooo
Billion star shouldnโ€™t have done that to her though
My advice donโ€™t drink and drive
Donโ€™t drink and go on Instagram live

Mirror on the wall mirror on the wall
