Leriq Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My wahala don dey too much, dem don dey tire for me
I dey give you wetin you want, just gimme my money
if am looking at your girlfriend I'm sorry na Konji
Mr. Lover na my talent e dey for my body
I got love for the big booty girls that know how to drop it low.
And she get that money, and she know what she drop it for. Type of booty that a make a nigga like me fall in love. She ain't even know.
Tolu, Yemi, ati Folakemi yo idi s'eyin. Titi, Lola, ati Folukemi yo idi s'eyin. Mo ni ma fun e lowo to ba yo idi s'eyin. Ma fun e gbogbo owo mi to ba yo idi s'eyin.
