Olamide Lyrics

Through sickness, we recognise the value of health
We understand the importance of being healthy when we have experienced illness.

Through evil, the value of good
We appreciate the value of goodness when we have experienced evil.

If you think say you dey para, I para pass you
If you think you are angry, I am angrier than you.

If you gamble and I win, I no go last you
If we gamble and I win, I won't hold it against you.

They say I'm in a hurry, won ni oju n kan mi
People say I am too fast-paced.

Fuck what dey say, ko si n kan ti okan mi
I do not care about what they say because I am focused on my goals.

We can feel the same pain, the same way
We are capable of experiencing pain in the same manner.

Some go smile, some go sigh, some go shout, ewee
Some people react to pain with a smile, some with a sigh, and some with a shout.

So don't blame me, don't blame me now
Do not put the blame on me for your problems.

If you can't see the picture
If you cannot understand what I am trying to do.

Mo wa ni nu brain me, ni nu brain me now
You had better understand me now.

I'm hustling into my future
I am working hard towards my future goals.

A le nip e ko ni pe, ko ni ipe, ko lo ya
Whether you support me or not does not matter.

Ale nipe ko ni ya, ko ni ya, ko lo pe
Whether you curse or bless me does not matter.

To ri e every morning ti mo ba ji ni mo ma n se ope

Ma tun fo e nu pelu ogiri ati miliki olope
I will still eat my local delicacies despite my success.

Live fast die young, wo ni ti mi o ba ku, mo lucky
I might die young because I live life to the fullest.

Aye n reti eleya mi ninu coffin
Life is waiting for me in a coffin.

Won ni pe mo rascal, won pe mi ni ragamuffin

Mo ni mo ma Dagrin, Mo ni mo ma Biggie, Mo ni mo ma Tupac, Shakur Weaving, back to sender
I am the next Dagrin, Biggie, and Tupac, and anyone who wishes me evil will have their wishes sent back to them.

eruku owo e da Ta ka osi danu si awon alori bu eda
My enemies will be ashamed when they see my success.

Olosho thinking of how they ruin me, but I know what I'm doing, ah
Prostitutes are thinking of how they can ruin me, but I know what I am doing.

They want to Wande Coal me, they want to Davido me
They want to copy my style and make it their own.

Same onish, different shalanga
We might have the same goal, but we are taking different paths.

I don fall before like person wey get warapa
I have failed before just like a person who has lost in gambling.

Shout out si awon to pe wa ni posh ton fi wa pa, won tun pe wa si show Owo ni won fe fi wa pa
Shout out to those who said we would end up poor, now they want to associate with us because of our wealth.

Mo n shey bi eni ti o ti ku ri, to ti de orun bo
I am like someone who has died and gone to heaven.

Sugbon olorun a ma sho mi lo, sho mi bo
But God will still show me the way.

Mo fo ori mi, accepted
I am proud of myself and have accepted who I am.

Ti o ba lo fi ara we mi, wa jented
If you do not like the way I look, it's your problem.

I'm a blessing, it's undeniable
I am a blessing to those around me without a doubt.

But I am not 100% reliable
However, I am not perfect and can make mistakes.

I do make mistakes unknowingly, and so many honestly things i know really
I make mistakes without knowing sometimes, but I also know a lot of things honestly.

Mo dabi Lion, mo da bi hyena
I am like a lion and a hyena at the same time.

Mo da bi vampire ti o ma mu eje sere bi ribena

My good doings bless me, the bad ones cause criminal no mind me
My good deeds bring blessings while my bad deeds have no effect on me.

Came into the game with my face so ugly, Some of my peeps been dey use am dey mock me
When I entered the game, some of my friends used to mock my ugly face.

I couldn't blame them chicks, dey couldn't hug me
I did not blame the ladies who could not hug me because of my looks.

Its all good now, they all wanna fuck me
Now everything is good, and they all want to have sex with me.

They didn't see the picture
They could not see my true potential and what I could become.

They never thought i would look good in future
They never thought I would become attractive in the future.

To hell with good looks, I am all about my business
I do not care about my looks; I only care about my business.

I'm good looking about my ways I'm so wicked
I might be good-looking, but I am also ruthless when it comes to my goals.

All my ex want me back now, I can tell Some of them don bleach like Vybz Cartel

I am not perfect, and I do not hide it; expressing myself freely is not difficult for me.

Awon eruku nigboro gan regard mi
Even my enemies have respect for me.
