I feel like
I'll be alright
It's a matter of time
Ugly boy will fine
I feel like
I'll be alright
It's a matter of time
Ugly boy will fine
Many things don sup for man life
Believe what I say ion gon lie
If I wan laugh I gats go online
Cos Nothing is really funny in real life
A lot of people fake
But life is a game
It's hard to differentiate
The real from the fake
Give and take laye you get what you give
Try no dey look face
Some face dey deceive
Cos Nigerian pastor will pray that
God will be with you
Awon dema ko escort rin tanba n travel
Shey oro Timon so tiye bayi daada
Hold up tomu oni motor
Ni idunnu oni gala
Well, everybody just wanna survive
Tobaki ugly pesin kpe how're you
Omaso fine

In my lifetime
Kingba wire $15million in 50 times
That's a big figure but it's not too much
And as a first born bukata too much
Mhen I got siblings
Mo need lati cater fun won
Mama need to eat
Mo need Lati k'ata funwon
So before you need me
I'm sorry I'm so busy
Unless you wanna talk about the money
And how to get it
I keep hustling I keep grinding
I never see result but forreal
I keep doing it, you feel me
I feel like
I'll be alright
It's a matter of time
Ugly boy will fine
I feel like
I'll be alright




It's a matter of time
Ugly boy will fine
