They called our own languages vernacular
So English was the
Real language we had to speak in school so
Everything was English
With what we were taught in school
Nobody was thinking of
Whether to be African or not
We just accepted that we were English
And everybody that went to England
For studies was a master you know
Everybody wants to go to England
Come back home to be master you know
Wan kpo to kan lo bo si wa AR badder than dem
Excuse my fresh Margiela's yankee boy swagger than dem dey like
But who be this Westernized African guy I'm on fire than dem
If being broke is a joke
No family guy I'll quagmire than them e wo
Isale ti su mi man aye n be l'oke
I no fit wait make money land like aero plan
I swear na every other weekend out in St Tropez
For all the time we never had it baba dem go pay
L'aye ti a wa yi a ma pasu
To r'aye ti a wa yi a ti laju
Mo ri wan ni nu parlor bo yen ka two
Hundred thou cash no be cashew
E kawosoke (Kawosoke)
Ati de wan ma kawo sori (Wan ma kawo sori)
If e no pain then e no go pay (Then e no pain then e no go pay)
And that's based on a true story
Based on a true story
Based on a true story

Before you count to 3 I'll be on to the next like 4 5
Back when I met a pretty cougar by Kuramo I was a VG
Ori lo yomi no condom the rest is PG
Crashed that 190 in Lekki before my permit came
I swear it felt like 190 up on that 3rd mainland
I paid for undergrad never had a scholarship
I repeat that I never had a scholarship
Now them seats all white kings college shit
Park and amuse mehn I'm on my Apapa shit
I'm going hard till I'm so in charge
Best revenge is letting enemies see you going far
Koleye no lele
My own kele go tick as okele I swear to God
L'aye ti a wa yi a ma pasu
To r'aye ti a wa yi a ti laju
Mo ri wan ni nu parlor bo yen ka two
Hundred thou cash no be cashew

Don't means anything to me
