Eledumare na hin dey ginger me nicely
Ojodi k'ose so
On baba, se ko se ko
E bad or e good, we dey pray more
Tough times don't last but tough people do, we go stand tall
Eyes red like we jogor
Puff, pass for the pain, yeah e'ja lor
Never really wanna know your interest
Money dey for my mind, I'm in business
Many time dem try play my intellect
And you know my shotta, man ah big the rest
When you ready make you take the shot
And you know wetin go happen, make we ginger next
