Verse one
Kamar kowace shekara december ta gabato
Kusan kowani hidiman yi suna na na ciki
Don bada kala ko bani wasa dala a bikin
Ina bukatar yin matukar sayayya for my pikin
Gashi ban da lafiya, jama’a na ta ya jiki
Haba yaro, na zo gida sai na tarar ka tafi
Ga shi baka da lafiya kuma kana kan shan magani
Ka tuna likita ya ce ma ka huta don ka gaji
A matsayin da na kana mun biyayya da ladabi
Amma me yasa in aka zo batun kudi baka ji
Mama i don’t mean no disrespect, i’m just tryna feed the fam
Be the brand on everyone’s lip then gradually lead the lands
It’s why i do real numbers tryna succeed as a business man
While they are been obsessed with likes and comments on instagram
I get real love from the street, ga yan adaidaita sahu
Yanzu in nishadi a ke so sai an daidata da mu
In kwana zuba sauti, ko ba na maimaita ma su
In su ka saya bai musu ba kudin zan mai da masu
Chorus
This life is a lesson
It’s pain and it’s pleasure
I’m hunting for the treasure
I can feel the pressurе
From every angle
From every anglе
From every angle
From every angle
Verse two
I’m over 30 years but i ain’t never been to my father’s house
Thank god,’cause i wouldn’t have existed without the man
Raised by the street, with tendencies of doing what’s not allowed
Trying to raise enough so i can buy mom and dad a house
So as much as i got sh*t to say,i got bills to pay
Been long overdue doing this my skills should pay
And for all of that i see more bigger risk to take
Too many offers but i learned from whom the deal enslaved
Just me and my brothers working hard and smart and hoping god grand us more classic piece to write been the hidden treasures in the bay somewhere up north that need these days
Cos even when i don’t, they don’t believe i ain’t got it
It’s on the way when you look it, so i clean out my closet
There ain’t no make believe, for real the gee gotta have it
The world’s full of opportunities,the g had to grab one
Cause lack of money can make you work for them
And when you’re gone they call your girlfriend to come and twerk for them
Loss of identity like she stumbled on flirting twins
All because you couldn’t get sum for her empty purse to keep
Get the money but don’t worship it
Chorus
This life is a lesson
It’s pain and it’s pleasure
I’m hunting for the treasure
I can feel the pressure
From every angle
From every angle
From every angle
From every angle
Verse three
Kawai sai ga labari ya bazu ko ta ina
Yanzu na yi sada, ana kira na show a biya
Ko na yi lattin zuwa da yawa kan so su jira
Wassu wai na hammer na manta da boys a gida
Oh really? so they know about me that much
But how comes they don’t know ‘bout the nights me and sleep lost touch
Oh how many kilometers my feet don run
Do they even know how many times i took great pain?
….of risking my all to see if i could make gain
Do all i gotta do to hit my first two million dollars
Like i’m the improved version of olu maintain
But then i often gloom then fail
Life is a lesson, who is not a student here?
I learn the hard way, the surface that the truth’s engraved
Work is the secret, but independence is key, so from the heart, i hate to see a youth enslaved
Freedom is free but what’s free could cost you way more…
So know what you’re here for
Chorus
This life is a lesson
It’s pain and it’s pleasure
