"Everything you do, do it small small" (do it small small)
"Remember where you come from" (come from)
Turn me on (turn me on)
"Keep on going, don't stop" (don't stop)
"Ma bawon duro si bus stop" (mm-mm)
"K'ode ma fuwon je, non-stop", uh (uh-uh)
You know I've been thinking fast in my mind
For long, me, I dey my grind
No salary, mo den pa'wo
