2022 Im here I kinda forgot the title I just typed the lyrics and it popped up. This was when wizkid really did it for his dream the early days he struggled and made sure he excelled he meant business Everytime he got in the studio you could hear him sing nicely and smoothly 🤍🤍 he was great back then when he was still hustling for fame these days he just makes anything you like it or not he will get the hype and he will make money out of it. But where's the love and good music for us as fans?
Nigerians y'all better ask our kid those ends we miss the old wizkid a lot
