[Intro: Mr. Nelson] Sute how far now? Omo see this guy oh Just come my house just dey lie All those things wey we do way back for school, this guy still dey do am Just come here come dey tell me say e don buy 10 cars, 5 Bugatti E get gold toilet Say e just you know I'm confused [Verse 1: Suté] My first day in school i told a lie Told it to my peers I told it to older guys Told it for the rep I told it so i'll look fly And you ain't surprised You too have told a lie Growing up in lagos that sh** is like do or die You only live once but gidi is suicide Give me a reason why we were running the city wild Smoking weed blowing up smoke to the city sky And when i said i rocked every party that was a lie Couple teenagers popping up in the latest rides And when i said i was given to drive you know i lied Zooming in one direction kinda like Harry Styles Back when babes were looking razz as f** your boy was hazardous Ask about my previa bus my boys'll tell you what was up Lieing for the fun of it Before i gave a f** about the government Corruption or the money they were funneling [Hook: Mr. Nelson] Omo e fi mi le Why you come dey lie to us Omo e fi mi le You wan change white to black Omo e fi mi le (Ogbeni Ogbeni) You too dey lie Ogbeni Omo e fi mi le Ja de (You wan change am for us) Outside [Verse 2: Suté] My first day in school i told a story About the same time me and rap had matrimony The facts are homie in lag you lax and lose cause these cronies Never relax their moves are always intact homie Parallel my life then Lagos city was like a wild gem And we were scavengers in a tunnel looking for light then Party organizers, obtainers were living the life then And we were almost brainless i swear we wanted to be like them So right then, when it was our turn and we saw the light mehn Did my first party and everyone was invited At the same time was writing with pens and pads mehn n***as was fighting free style battles i was igniting Out of DCL Sheltered from dangers and the city hell Where agberos, touts and real shooters dwell I know the city well, grew up on the city smell Now i storytell unholy tales that show the city's real [Hook] [Outro: Mr. Nelson] [Bridge: Suté] If you knew me then You'll know how this began Birth in the food basket Grew up out in gidi mehn Silly men Started with guys that didn't see the end So i've chosen to rise and live our dreams again (2x) [Verse 3] My first day in school i started a journey Now i'm on the road, nobody can steer it for me No comparing, the best and you didn't hear it from me Soon approaching danger my n***a no near am for me So I'm booked for the next flight Pocket wasn't full on my left thigh Talking bout school and you guessed why A moment that gets pa**ed by They sold me to badagry but it's cool homie let's ride
