The Middle
MI Abaga Lyrics

My nigga just dey your lane
Stay focused on your own path and don't pay attention to anyone else.

No send anybody ma nigga
Don't let anyone distract you from your goals.

Just dey do your thing no mind them
Ignore the negativity and stick to your own path.

They go talk anyhow they go dey do anyhow
People will always talk and behave in unpredictable ways.

But na you get yourself you understand
Ultimately, you're the only one who truly knows yourself and your capabilities.

Focus hustle
Stay focused and work hard towards your goals.

Shebi you no think say I be bad guy
You may not think I'm a bad person, but I know I can be bad.

But me I know say I be bad guy
I'm aware of my own flaws and misdeeds.

Make we just leave am for middle
Let's avoid conflict and stay neutral.

Just leave am for middle
Let's stay out of drama and unnecessary arguments.

You and your niggas no dey feel me
You and your crew may not understand me or my music.

But I get niggas wey dey feel me
But there are people who appreciate and connect with my music.

Won lon beef me e fi won le mon bo
People may try to start drama with me, but they'll regret it later.

They'll end up regretting their actions and lose respect in their community.

Even those who are considered righteous by some may face opposition and criticism.

Who be best rapper omo it all depends
The best rapper is subjective and depends on individual tastes and preferences.

I don't claim to be the authority on who the best rapper is.

Ask number two to ten
Ask other rappers who are also skilled and successful.

And if you no dey rap no ever make rap
If you're not a rapper, don't try to create or critique rap music.

Because Cat sabi swim
Each person has their own strengths and talents.

That no mean say e be Catfish
Just because someone has a talent, it doesn't mean they're not genuine and authentic.

If you mention M for any top ten
If you include my name among the top ten rappers, I'll take it as a compliment.

We gon have a problem
But if you don't respect me or my music, we'll have issues.

We gon have a talk men
Let's have a conversation and try to understand each other's perspectives.

We may not always have the same opinions, but we can still respect each other.
