Signs
Phido Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't relate
Take out my name
but I still run the state
I concentrate
I don di wait
working crazy right until date
pour the milk for my bowl corn flakes
no time to waste (anhh ahhhh)
only God alone can judge my case
If they want talk bad I don hide my face
Keep the award if the money wan comot for my hand
tie my shoes and i'm moving 10 tens down
Write my name in the sands of time
If you no dey here you no go understand
Chanting
They acting like I went ghost after the project
(Project project)
comparing me to folks I swear I ignore them
(All them all them)
Try if you want show me say you know
And if you want touch me then you go
People I gave my chance for
They go live now na me they wan cancel
with no video yet my shows they can't phantom
That's why I always smile and i'm hiding my tantrums
Use my comb as i clean my dandruff
write my story and they reap my hand off
Annh
that's why me tell them again
They say I complicate
I don't relate
Take out my name
but I still run the state
I concentrate
I don di wait
working crazy right until date
pour the milk for my bowl corn flakes
I can feel it
no time to waste (anhh ahhhh)
That's what me tell them again
