Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mr Jabulani

They never thought we gon come this far
But we got a God who is in charge
All their negativity we discharged
Crazy with our goals we are retards
Don't mistake us for a novice
Listen to my bars am an OG
I don't really care about the trophies
So I just do me like it's soapy eh
I believe in God but they believe in soaps
They believe in shortcuts I believe in growth
Am a pacifist they believe in wars
I believe in truth and it open doors
They envy a bro cause he can do all
How am getting guap they trying to figure
Mere mortals trying to play God
But I stay fly rocking my Dior

See me leaping on my tic tac toe
Truth is bitter but it's in my bones
Dreams be vivid but I see my goals
I got my fams and I got my bros

On a tic tac toe I swear my truth don't lie (My truth don't lie)
My truth don't lie (My truth don't lie)
My truth don't lie (My truth don't lie)
Pa pa ra da
On a tic-tac-toe I swear my truth don't lie (My truth don't lie)
My truth don't lie (My truth don't lie)
My truth don't lie (My truth don't lie)
My truth don't lie

Truth don't lie
Truth don't lie oh yea (Bliizzy aii)
Truth don't lie (GVNDEM)
Truth don't lie

Okay long way coming hustler ni lati get go
Only see the smiles it's way harder if you don't know
The grind be like virgin puna i no go fit let go
And we gon keep on hustling and mining on till we get gold
Or get silver medal or anyone wey e be
Aimoye awon ta tijo bere rap to ti lo se G
But me gan I no blame them cause me sef don dey sing
And we go still dey push the hustle mehn anyhow as e be
Getting text on a daily no forget me If you reach there
But you fit first me too bro na only God dey see first
Koyun ta gbe sinu so layo ka ma rogun still birth
Cause when you're big you're big oshey eyan DJ Big N

Yeah I you know my truth don't Lie
I know my truth don't lie

On a tic tac toe I swear my truth don't lie (My truth don't lie)
My truth don't lie (My truth don't lie)
My truth don't lie (My truth don't lie)
Pa pa ra da
On a tic tac toe I swear my truth don't lie (My truth don't lie)
My truth don't lie (My truth don't lie)
My truth don't lie (My truth don't lie)
My truth don't lie

Truth don't lie
Truth don't lie oh yea (Mr Jabulani)




Truth don't lie
Truth don't lie (Ve ver verb)
