Big master in the building nigga no ceilings
Good nacker. Na my big dick make them wan dey catch feelings

Say I turn up in a notch one time
They say I be the best like God's time
And this beat by fresh is too tight oo
And don't forget that I'm too fresh to fight oo
That's why I got goons that that buy guns
Wey dey ready to let bye gones be bye gones
And on top of microphone me I dey kill them all
Cause really I no like when. the police they getting involved

Too many credit cards I deybfeel like gambit
Step into the place like who this nigga wan beat
I'm married to the game stay away from my bitch
Bitch ain't magic or abracadabra
Ain't no bad or badder than moi
I'm about to take it to another level
But I never ever use the elevator cause I no trust phcn
Won Le mu ina lo before you reach top floor
When I knock door
Open up goons go knock door on top floor
And I wonder why these MC's take it serious
When they get called out to my songs
I'm just on the microphone, having fun, mehn I'm stoned rolling up another one
Pressurising these MCs with flows they never heard before
Now they asking where you're from
Where I'm from we change the rule up like students wey dey enter school with no uniform
Sebi dey talk say they get liver
Now when they see the boy dem dey shiver
Even when they talk I don't talk back cos I know silence is golden and ductape is silver
Sebi dey talk say they get liver
Now when they see the boy dem dey shiver
Even when they talk I don't talk back cos I know silence
Oluwa baba nla one turn up
