Jazzy

Laziness
Eh It a brand new dance my people this na new dimension
You dey dull yourself you better tune into the station
When the boss dey yarn you got to pay all your attention
Tell everybody say your boo Is back from her vacation
If you wan retire make you come collect your pension
Cause I dey come with fire
You know I don't need to mention
Anything wey them do they no fit make me change formation
As I bring this gyration omo see standing ova

My oh my oh mine please tell me why oh why
They say they want more they can't get enough
They wanna go crazy like before

Ejeka jijo jijo ejeka wajo wajo
Ejeka jijo jijo ejeka wajo wajo
Ejeka jijo jijo ejeka wajo wajo
Ejeka jijo jijo ejeka wajo wajo

Hold up oga chairman oh Akpako yehn sha malo
When we put it down and low eni duro wo tan rara no
Ye ko si ewu loko longe longe fun rarai ewu
Ema lo mu eran elede ke fi se obe insiewu
Awon omomi nsale eko wan ti n yangosi fun sokoto ah
Wan ki gan sako to Bose jo shoki lon jo azonto
