Living in Bondage

My momma ask me why you smellin' like claro?

Tell her 'cause the streets been kicking my nyash, oh

That na why this Hennessy dey my cup

So, momma, if I slur my words, please don't judge me

Mom, I'm at war

Say a prayer 'cause I'm in war

Now they call me bro, these days, I ain't sure

Tell me in the Bible, who killed Abel?

Look where me from, we no get help, oh

In Africa here, every man dey for himself, oh, self, oh

We paperchasing in the ghetto

I leave my house, my momma scream, "Protect yourself, oh", self, oh

Bondage, bondage

Say we living in bondage, bondage

Here, tomorrow's not promised, promised

'Cause we living in bondage, bondage, yeah

Bondage, bondage

Say we living in bondage, bondage

Here, tomorrow's not promised, promised

'Cause we living in bondage, bondage, yeah

Where me from, we no drink Bullet, Bullet, Bullet

Because these days, they using bullets, bullets, bullets

You need your vision before it's too late, too late, too late

They no look face before they pull it, pull it, pull it

Told them before, we going forward, backward never

I climb the stage, they scream and jump up like Up NEPA

I miss my bro, he dey for cell like na Mandela

I no fit judge, he took a risk to make life better

Oh, yeah

I'm exhausted

'Cause back in my city, they get a complex

Another man winning don't stop your success

That's what happens when they judge you by your pocket

But me no know them, tell them back up, back up, get back

I say my motto na to stack up, stack up cheddar

I dey my hood, me ask them who dey, who dey, who dey

And if na war, I'm screaming "Tule, tule, tule"

I came from nothing, came from rags and I found riches

Some boys dey reason, dem dey ask if I use witches

You get some money, that's when dem boys become serpents

But make dey try me, I go use Louboutin match am

Mom, I'm at war

Say a prayer 'cause I'm in war

Now they call me bro, these days, I ain't sure

Tell me in the Bible, who killed Abel?

Look where me from, we no get help, oh

In Africa here, every man dey for himself, oh, self, oh

We paperchasing in the ghetto

I leave my house, my momma scream, "Protect yourself, oh", self, oh

Bondage, bondage

Say we living in bondage, bondage

Here, tomorrow's not promised, promised

'Cause we living in bondage, bondage, yeah

Bondage, bondage

Say we living in bondage, bondage

Here, tomorrow's not promised, promised

'Cause we living in bondage, bondage, eh

Where me from, we no drink Bullet, Bullet, Bullet

Because these days, they using bullets, bullets, bullets
