Oke okwu adiro n' uka mgbede

Ha no n' azu muwa kwu n' iru
Buru nke gi, ka mburu nkem, ihe m nacho na ndum bukwa oganiru………. ahhhhhh
Money on my mind, anything wey go make me no get am i bind
Once on the track they put am on rewind
Talking at my back when they see me they hide
Repping east, when i put on my fist with the blood in my mouth and they call me a beast
Getting dope money from naija to cali and ha zuzuo anyi ga emenu ha nkari
Ndia dika uguru, they dey yan dust
Nna agu rap ha ana aju m the source
Making profit ha ana eweta so loss
Anom n' ugwu mana ebirom na jos
Making it must, family first, mburu bata muwa eje napuya by force
Ebum ya ka horse, wat sumtin was, igoru afia ibiazie bia gwa mu the cost
"Maka phyno bu nwoke gbara aji n' obi….heh!

Anyi ga eyinye ha akpa aji………heh!
Ugbua bu oge ifo aji………gerout!!
