Oliver De Coque Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I wake up in the morning,
I go pray to my God.
When I go back in the evening,
I go pray to my God
Always believe in Joy oh
Nothing comes for nothing
Always do my best and leave the
rest to God
Oooooh money money identity,
oooooh money money identity
oooooh money money identity

My baba I thank you, make I
Baba I thank you, make I respect all my seniors
Always cut my coat according to my size
I no dey promise anything wey my power no reach.
my yes is my yes,
my no is my no
I no dey make inyanga
I'm a simple man by nature
Oooooh Money money identity ×4

if you do good to me, I go thank you
for your favor,




if you do bad to me, na you sabi ooh
Money money identity ×4
