Look
I grew up in Lagos
Seen a man kill his own friend
Found out it was no doubt for his papers
No government getting involved
No food no shelter for the scrapers
I seen a man getting dissolved, wait why
'Cause he didn't make his payments
Round here we don't state no statements
Everything stapled do it like Lakers
And you could get nabbed for a ransom
But we don't want that, we don't claim it
When I sing that Naija anthem
Stressing the part about being compatriots
Now we're living on 6 new acres
And I ain't got time for the haters
Fakers, chilling with some random neighbors
My status on par with the greatest
And the envy's clear it's blatant
Trust me if you got money just save it, like I wanna end
SARS it's hatred, so I pray in my bars like amen
Now I'm tryna leave Mars Matt Damon
If it's corrupt then a nigga gotta change it
If I had a belt made from watches
I'd call that a waste of time
I got choices and I got options
So I used that pepper and thyme
See the system's built for the rich
It's done on purpose, by design
That cabinet's moving lazy, crazy
Moving like a bunch of swine
And they never do fail to amaze me
They just watch while people die
I mean it's calm as long as it pays me, right?
Nah there's more to life
So the whole thing's just so wrong
Now we gotta try and make it right
Have you ever seen a desperate family
Begging for cash in need of a flight
Like
We got people down here doing up madness
All for a card and a passport
Everybody wants out everybody wants out
But they can't even get to the airport
It's mad, it's sad to see, and the first world lives in a fantasy
That
Everything's okay when it's really not
Said my piece but I'm not at peace cause
Listen
I grew up in Lagos
Seen a man kill his own friend
Found out it was no doubt for his papers
No government getting involved
No food no shelter for the scrapers
I see a man getting controlled, that's right
If you got a heart come save it
Man
That's right, if you got a heart come save us
I seen a man getting controlled, woah
No
