LOTR II
LadiPOE Lyrics

Here we go again
Starting another journey or endeavor

But we gotta get it right
Determined to achieve success or perfection

LOTR II
Continuing the legacy or journey, referring to 'Lord of the Rings II'

LOTR II
Reiterating the continuation of the legacy or journey

Truth is
Stating a fact or revealing honesty

I haven’t slept for a couple days
Experiencing sleep deprivation for a period of time

A cup of caffeinated paracetamol for the pain
Using a combination of coffee and painkillers to alleviate discomfort

I cannot explain my recent moment of clarity
Unable to fully describe or comprehend a recent realization

But life is a dream if death is reality
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of life in the face of mortality

So I’ll keeping being me
Continuing to be true to oneself

Authentic
Genuine and original

Pure no additives
Untainted and without any additional elements

The secret to longevity is always rewrite the narrative
Adapting and changing one's story or perspective leads to a lasting impact

Repeat it in Swahili
Reiterating the message in a different language

In Igbo or perfect Arabic
Expressing the importance of sharing the truth in various languages

Truth translates in all languages
The concept of truth is universal and can be understood by people regardless of language

Excuse me while I
A polite way to interrupt or divert attention momentarily

Take the floor
Asserting oneself or stepping into the spotlight

Quiet down
Requesting others to become silent or calm

Tell the doctor there’s still beef inside my diet now
Informing the doctor of ongoing conflicts or challenges in one's life

You become a target when you make it up to higher ground
Attracting attention and criticisms when achieving success or elevation

Pray the only shots I ever take is when I’m buying rounds
Hoping to only experience moments of celebration and camaraderie instead of conflicts

I hate the irony of Covid 19’s arrival
Expressing frustration towards the unfortunate timing of the Covid-19 pandemic

On a generation already obsessed about going viral
Highlighting the pre-existing obsession with gaining online popularity

Thinking if I miss the time when only fans were disciples
Reflecting on a time when fans were more devoted and genuine

Nowadays only fans is another mode of survival
Referring to the shift in the meaning of 'only fans' from being true supporters to a platform for survival

I know that money doesn’t grow on trees
Aware that money is not easily obtained or readily available

I know the root of all evil is in the heart and not in currency
Understanding that greed and corruption stem from people's intentions and character, not from money itself

So I put some faith in people
Choosing to believe in the goodness and trustworthiness of others

But most of it goes in property
Investing more trust and confidence in tangible assets like real estate

Cause I no dey that beard gang
Not associating oneself with a particular group or following trends

I’m in that landlord you better pay me my rent gang
Identifying with the role of a landlord who expects timely payment from tenants

I’m in that tear rubber no license plate over here gang
Belonging to a group that drives brand new cars without license plates

That if you getting up
When someone is becoming successful or rising in status

You know I’m taking your chair gang
Asserting dominance or taking over someone else's position or role

That big money sweet
The allure or satisfaction of having a large amount of money

But always better to share gang
Highlighting the importance of generosity and sharing wealth with others

I know that it’s my year gang
Confident that the current year will bring personal success and achievements

But I’m still that same boy from Ikeja
Regardless of success, remaining connected to one's roots and upbringing in Ikeja

Tailor made flow every measure
Crafting a unique and personalized style for each musical composition

Megan the Stallion knees
Having strong and confident physical presence, like Megan Thee Stallion

Sexy but built for the pressure
Being attractive and appealing while also having the resilience to handle challenges

Real as they come feel the texture
Genuine and authentic, with a tangible quality that can be felt

So I would tell my professor
Addressing someone of authority or expertise to convey a message

Remember the name
Asking to be recognized and remembered for one's talent or achievements

But don’t forget there’s no H in the Eso
Reminding others that the name 'Eso' does not contain the letter 'H'

No rodents have claim to my cheddar
Asserting ownership and protection over one's wealth or resources

Wrinkles or stain in my leather
Preserving belongings in pristine condition without any imperfections

Many would pay for the pleasure
Others would be willing to spend money to experience the same luxury or satisfaction

So I build the fanbase
Actively cultivating and expanding a dedicated group of fans or supporters

Paint the landscape
Creating a vivid and impactful environment or setting for one's artistic expression

Worried I’m getting sicker
Concerned about one's declining health or well-being

Lost my sense of smell and taste
Experiencing the common symptoms of Covid-19, the loss of smell and taste

For the jealousy
Regarding the envy or resentment expressed by others

Is there a Covid test I can take
Expressing a desire to confirm or verify one's health status

Even before the virus man
Referencing the existence of challenges and obstacles even prior to the pandemic

I didn’t do handshakes
Choosing not to engage in conventional greetings or social customs

Pull up on my handbrake
Taking control and pausing in the midst of progress or movement

Baby make me swerve
Asking a significant other to change direction or mindset

Dotting I’s
Paying attention to detail and ensuring accuracy

Cross T’s
Being thorough and comprehensive in one's actions or decision-making

Leave my mark with every word
Leaving a lasting impact or impression through one's spoken or written expressions

A signature is just an autograph
Highlighting the significance of one's unique personal style or identity

That says pay me first
Emphasizing the importance of receiving compensation or recognition before providing services

Even when the drip is heavy
Despite being fashionable or extravagant in appearance

It doesn’t always quench the thirst
Material possessions or success do not always satisfy one's inner desires or fulfillment

Ooouuu
Exclamation to express surprise or excitement

Damn
Exclamation indicating admiration, frustration, or surprise

I’m all about the bread
Focused on financial success and wealth

But this jam
Referring to the song being played or the current situation

Hard to be G O A T
Difficult to be recognized as the greatest of all time

When these rams
Referring to stubborn or challenging individuals

Hard headed as fuck I can’t
Expressing frustration towards the stubbornness of others

Anyway
Despite the challenges or obstacles faced

That be their own palaver
Acknowledging that it's their problem or concern, not one's own

Me I know say I dey wrap
Confidently stating that one is skilled or talented

You know the flow shawarma
Referring to a unique and flavorful style of rapping

Me I know say I dey trap
Asserting that one is successful in their endeavors or hustling

From here to Guagalada
Indicating a wide range or widespread influence

Shoutout to my homies
Showing appreciation and recognition to friends or close associates

In Jalabias and white Agbadas
Acknowledging and mentioning specific traditional garments worn by friends or associates
