Dey say mek we watch the road wey we say we tire We just wan mine the gold then fire 2 cold as we grow 2 old 2 inspire E b 2fold 2 fold cash B the desire 
 We commot wana eyes 4 road top e take we go china import wana presidential palace from india The symbol on the wall outside no b adinkra dey serve we miso soup u dey take aponkye kakra No dey respect we dey sweat u dey in nyanya jet Com c the way plastic full up the fisherman e net Sakawa save my life, wey other chance i get? Like i no take my school fees chillop like i go regret Fuck parents wey dey tink say the teacher always b right monkey go close e eye n lash u if u show am light Donkey seff no dey chew grass in d middle of d night Black honkey playin violin wit d fiddle of a white Wot a shitty pitiful sight ridicule bites Stolen jeggins on som mosquito azonto ready 2 fight U mek i mek ma paddies jealous Yet u say we b the same Hard to dey in yor lane if yor driver e name b skin pain 
 Ch 
 things no dey be But we dey pretend Say we dey live the highlife Yeh yeh yeh 2X 
 Dem dey off the lights so say we no go fit c the cocaine Den close the pipe so say we no fit wash away the stain keep the roads all roff so say we go make late police cashiers, barriers now b toll gate MInisters corrupt den u catch abodam for puff U seff u high c yor red eye like period cloth But all b wana fault coz we get the sea wey we dey import salt Den cross wana leg suck malt 
 The price of lies The price of lies dey rise The prize be rice To mice e dey taste nice

V1: Once upon a time there was an elephant in ghana with the biggest head It was so big its pillow was a double king sized bed It had a very short body, its eyes wer very red It loved limestone n its spectacle lenses wer made of lead It spoke with a polar bears accent to goats who wanted to be llamas It promised to start serving sushi at all ghana's la palmas But the chicken didnt pay attention they were busily watching the ostriches Promising to teach them to fly like guinea fowl to their bosses riches 
 Mario Sonic U dey play games Chess Dami Still dey play games Hide & seek 4 corners Shun dey play games 
 V2: The dollar rise like ma prick Coz ma president be dick Actually e b john b like e name seff too b john So so ronnin e dey ron Trouble com den e ron So so finger pointing All so dissappointing To me the most annoying thing Pastors demma annointing lotto doctor win lottery Preachers no want earn Teachers just wan learn Doctor no wan u sick Still trust yor mechanic? I no wan b star Just follow ma twitter No dey hia any fans Just like ma instagrams Ma facebook friends chaw So like ma page rather No dey roll with crowd But stumble on ma tumblr

If man no fit move mountain Wey mountain no move to man Den man 4 create mountain Exactly wer mountain man dey stand Many go understand few go overstand 1 or 2 go stand More recipies n spices 4 chefs dema chow b bland 
 Man of the house Talk of the town King of the streets The tribes chief Settling beef Peddling reef Meddling thieves Rebel in briefs Sippin tea of nettle leaves steamin, till the kettle heaves Blows & whistles Crows & pistols Guns & flowers Bums & showers Ebola proof Cholera booth Corrolla roof Malaria tooth My area youth u better rise & stop looking very aloof We don't see why Chale We want peace ...tins no be alright ...now we start dey bore Isis crisis Paris slices Ice is priceless Christ is lifeless televise with spices A back pack man No back up plan pack up a gun Dey back up a van Buck buck buck the bataclan 
 F.O.K.N Ode to G.H.A.N.A This be what FOKN Bois have to say Make Dey listen 8x

 children of the sun come come If u've bleached dier chale run hide 
 Or go buy umbrella Stellas color inter stelar Now e jus b stelar hidin in a cellar Toning cream seller Cant u see keller Helen is smelling ah No one is telling her Accent from kenya Absence of dermia Vitilago vertigo in the villagio Burnt face o decrease ratio of felatio Step on brakes b4 flesh bakes n heart breaks Not on rakes gives shakes like snakes n earthquakes Den u b so vain Now u make so veiny Just coz of skin pain Now yor skin dey pain me why u dey weaken yor boat wey e dey hold yor water? Wot is keepin u afloat as the world dey get hotter? bleaching yor daughter aminata with alata samina Dat u mixed with hydrochloric acid obtained from fatima Pure Child abuse end times signs Debilitating destruction of divine design i guess we truly are gods self punishing Astonishingly, still polishing despite admonishing 
 Children of the sun...come...come...

Aziza the mystical pizda Lipstick amazonian poisonous frog color Lomi nava undercover Mek a brother want to make u a mother Adorned like a fela kuti dancer from kalaluta Slap any hala puta e dare call u shalamuta Mutabaruka on a scooter sayin u r cuter Toto shooter full time rooter washin wit a buta Dont need bills to get thru her gates n crash her computer Or apply for jobs to taste her apple while macking in abuja Acolatse frankey frankly I dey tarzan giv e monkey Keta gypsy witch with zero tolerance giv black honkies u get majestic donkey wey Jesus seff no b worthy 2 ride am into jerusalem tafli your down south durty durty wolf tamer fuck kramer clean rimmer They're lamer end gamer scene sinner New age royal non diva hair non weaver Dont need her beaver 2 make u a true believer Ch She is the one dat picks me up wen i am feelin terrible she givz me so much vim i tink she's so fokn incredible Sickadelic woman u r way beyond remarkable I find yor vagina juices soakingly palatable Psychedelic woman your Anatomy's from another galaxy Cure for my maladies Far from a fallacy That's my analogy and I'd rather be where you are Accept my sincere apology The rest are a parody It's you that they wanna be But never gonna be Phenomenal Philomena Beauty defying queen of sheba Her Gaze turns men to stone neo head of medusa intellectual mischievous feminist Activist Voluptuous curvaceous hilarious humanist Her eyes contain several solar systems unexplored her hips are broad she is a god so easily bored Her shea buttered skin makes the sun wear dark shades Her melanin pure chocolate preserved in cool dark shade ...Now Redman & Method Man are coming to spoil the song...
