O'Nick Abniss
What would I do if I no thank you
Baba modope
They want make i fall
So them go fit laugh me
You never left me alone
I'm very lazy to kneel down to you
Who am I if not for you God
To sha mi lesha
Araye ofe ni foro, afori eni
Ajeje owo kan ogberu dori
Baba fi owo kun mi
Nibo ni iba gbe temi gba loju amoni seni
Who are you to tell me say
Mi o lela
Iwo sa ko loda loda
Loda miisi laye yi
Why would you have to tell me say my glory go delay
Why would you have to come around
Tell me say my hustle no Pay
You con look me finish you talk say make I loose my way
I remember aaahh I remember
Sometimes long time ago
When things are very hard for me
Sometimes ago
I was thinking kin fi eji kun eta sometimes ago
As a street guy make I join hustle
Wan tun yomi ni setting
Bi eshin ba dani atun gun ni
Kashamadupe
They left me because my hustle no quick pay eh
You forget say oluwa ni shola
Iwo sa ko loda loda
Lodamiisi laye yi
