I've been looking for a situation
that'l make a brother move a nation
I make music for my recreation
but i really need an occupation
So i had to halla SquYzee ma n**
gave me every other thing that i need
to become the person that i've become
thank God i'm alive to say..
Nobody badder than aYs
If you no like then na you go vex
cause over here we are never stressed
Sipp'n that sipidi sipidi..
All of ma n***az know what i mean..
Even though i no dey smoke igbo
ma flow dey be like person wey create igbo
I AM The Father, the son and the mother too *I AM God*
*Now depite it being overlooked, for many centuries, Benin is probably one of the most precious gems
in all of West African history. And three facts still remain. The Benin Empire was one the longest lasting empires
in all of West African history. It constructed a megastructure, not seen any where else in the world
and it's art, greatly influenced, all who lay eyes on it*
*Chant*
VERSE
Everyday we always on the same hustle
and if you know me then you know i no dey like muscle
But i for strong because the industry go try bully you,
trouble you, hustle you, but dem no fit touch..
So every other day i'm a divine vessel
making music, writing books that gives your brain muscle
but if i talk too much, dem go say the boy craze
cuase the place wey he come from na madness
