Thrones Upon Thrones
W.M.D. Lyrics

J.T.R in it
J.T.R is here with us

Yo J.T.R, how you feeling
Asking J.T.R how he's feeling

Mehn, I'm feeling like a million bucks
J.T.R feels amazing, like he's worth a lot of money

I feel like
Continuing to express how J.T.R feels

In this give or take world right
Referring to the world where people either give or take

You gotta give all it takes
You need to put in everything you have

But uhm! Chendy how you feeling
Asking Chendy how she's feeling

Yea... mmmmm
Chendy responds with a sound of uncertainty

Those nights, I was all alone
Talking about past lonely nights

No one picking up my phone
Nobody answering his calls

I've been doing it all on my own
Doing everything by himself

Through the struggles, I came this far
Despite the hardships, he has come a long way

Didn't think I would come this far (This far)
Didn't expect to make it this far

My own
Continuing to express doing everything by himself

Now I'm sitting on top of my throne
Now he's successful and in charge

How about this
Starting a new thought or idea

If I told you all the struggles
Talking about the difficulties he's gone through

You might even doubt me
He thinks people might not believe him

I've been through the rough timing
Referring to tough times he's experienced

Would you ask about me
Asking if people would want to know more about him

Had no paper but a dream
Referring to having no money but a dream

Wondering how would that be
Wondering what it would be like

Boy it was nasty
Talking about how tough it was

Never picking up
Nobody answering his call

Whenever I'm hitting up
When he tries to connect with others

Till I got a job
He got a job

And started saving up to get to work
Starting to save for work-related things

Cupping me a microphone
Holding a microphone close

Just so I could spit the verse
Rapping his lyrics

And leave the rest to the most high Jah
Leaving the rest to God

Who's the universe
God is the universe

Since 0,16 dey don dey check ma pedigree
People have been scrutinizing his background since he was 16 years old

Who let the dogs out, ah swear na me
He's taking credit for shaking things up

Alla im ba don ìlímí
Referring to haters who underestimate him

The things the industry did to this silly me
Referring to negative experiences in the music industry

Turn couple friends now into enemies
Some friends have become his enemies

Ah mean
Explaining further

Even Illy sef no dey pick my call, buh
Even Illy doesn't answer his calls anymore

Oluwa pick ma call na
Asking God to pick up his calls

The ones wey want make I fall
People who want him to fail

Don dey count, check the score na
They're keeping score

Ah wear the cap, then run the game
He's taking control

Till ah come dey pant
Until he's exhausted

How many days, how many nights
Asking how many days and nights he had to work to get here

Ah had to walk the planks
Referring to the risks he's taken

Kklikk
Making a sound effect

Sing for me Chen
Asking Chendy to sing

Alone
Continuing to express doing everything by himself

All the intercessions
Referring to prayers on his behalf

Calling me Toretto
Comparing himself to a character from the Fast and Furious movies

It's all about the family right
Family is important

Ah do it with my blood and my sweat
Putting everything he has into what he does

Like say na family rights
Like it's his family's right

So when I'm away
When he's not around

Ah really hope my family writes
Hoping his family will write to him

Coz when you're away
When you're not around

It's really hard to get your heart right
It's difficult to stay focused when you're away

I gotta retreat and think of it I have to decide
Taking time to think and make a decision

I do it all day and even at night
Working hard all the time

Top of my throne
Reiterating his success and leadership position

Throne
Repeating the success and leadership position

Uhhhhhhh... mmmmmm
Making a sound effect
