Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aboki you be my real nigga ′til we die
And I'm keeping it real ′cause I no go fi lie
I pray Chineke go take Wizkid high
Meanwinmu patogees R2Bees
Me de Davido dey fight over groupies
At the end of the day we sow good seeds
So we no dey stay local we sell overseas
Refuse to be broke, walahi stay rich
We never go fall, yeah they wish

Captain planet, four X four

You for put your pains away, so we go chill today
Put everbody on conference call

I go kiss nana-ban more than five
Looking on the top to my nigga MI
Money no be problem, na lie
