May goin' grow, screw that
Middle finger, chew that
So many trips, I need jet fuel

But f**king me is all she talks 'bout

I'm not tryna make your head expand o
But I know what is to be dragon
Be my Kelse I'll be your dragon
We stand up just like the prado
I ain't playing no games, no caro
So just while lemme nap your back o
Can you ride a bike with no handle
Till everything is dismantled
Show me what you can handle
I just want a taste of that sample
I'm D'Banj
File, file, file, file, file
This is the last time you're going to see a bad guy like me
Bad guy like me
This is the last time I say hear me now
No more bad guy like me anymore
Yes scarface, lomo yen.
