Pheelz Mr Producer

Look man am straight no time to dey talk shit
Just pay me the money to show how we match it
Eruku ya pa no girl for the back sit
From Boys To Men awon leyi from the Back Street
Fuck that shit eruku lemi Army
Ale fagburu lati Lagos de Miami
You get beef for me ebi pami Indiami
Ati si machine wolede lati Germany
Awon street ti binu tan won lawon o gboyinbo
Ti ba se English rap mi ole rap to oyinbo
Awa oun se yo mama ni bi nigha ko ye
We go like pangolo meji lo le boye
Ise ni mo wase mi owa se suwe
Kolo kada yin ma loko lu reluwe
Ti awon temi balo binutan patapata
Tebalo sebi were lasan ama throway

Won ti nipe mio like ki ma rap pelu English
Elo ra album awon to man rap pelu English
Am in my house trailer came to jam mi
Ode mo mi olamide wo Kana finish

Claim to be hot but not to the core
Won da emo ngboro olohun ti enu ko
You claim to be badder but that’s not true
Baddest guy ever liveth nigha that’s not you
Four each not just one or two
Three endorsements came along too




Elete ni yin enpe te oda pe Celtel le ma nlo
