Me fans no akasa saa ma me feeli bad
Mehu no saa na ayese ma loose guard
Afe weyi die Ghanafoc monfre me energy guard
Cos me ma mo hume koraa niema a mebeye no
Obi drope a na ma drope menim die mope no
Meye sorry se makye na bebia na mehye no
Why are you tagging like you know me
I'm always at the top its very lonely
Mese meko gye mahome kakraa naso me bieye no mahu se niggas adane phoney
New niggas got me feeling like a Old G
Rap sei na mope a masa no P
Obaahemaa susu kyere woho na wiase onipa nse hwee
Wo boss koraa me ne low key
You are now rocking with the legend
Recorde na time is of the essence
Menni hour, menni minute, menni seconds
Forget past now deal with the present
Afe wae die memma obi en waste wo time
Builde wo boarder mema nipa bia mbe crosse wo line
Obia antwe wo ansen a master bibia beye fine
Dabidabi wani nfifre beye wine Ah

Madanfo na se wonni mentality of a boss a Joe away bus

This is a message to the youth
Checke wa abrabo hwe the people you dey recruit
Its better to be walking with a friend
Who go motivate you than to mingle in a group
Menni time menni time a mede beko club
Mepe sika nti madwuma metumi ngya gap
Meni time, wowc time die aa make we swap
But mea mepe more medi edit me rap
Wiase mu a yewo yi opportunity go come and go
But all we got is time
Now to the young rappers
No time to slow down anyday
Ko no all out until the lights out
Anything you gotta do do it right now
Have a no doubt na ko no all round
Pushe ko kopem se yebeti wo din
Wo White House holdup
From Delay to David Lederman
Yes you trynna be a better man
It takes alot to stay relevant
Your situation never go be permanent
Mbre se yeton a nka ne buo no
Wodie fa woho bo kokosa foo no
Menni time a mede be joine queue ko gyina bank
