Pains

Blaq Boi Banks

See, abịaa m ị-drag place, I just wanna see my worth multiplied

Ọọ ya melụ ajụọ m, "Who's the best", I don't struggle to reply

God forbid I go to club just to pop bottle to impress

Ebe my men nọ na street and half of them dịcha depressed

2015, O-2 Nonny kpọpụtaa m na street

Sị m na m hapụ na mpa m ji ego, m pịnye hustle on repeat

And industry bụ jonsing, gat to put your circle tight

People only come around when you’re about to hit the light

2016, all I had was my dream and my guts

With hope na one day the dream ga-enwetelụ m award

But, mummy nọ na yard, ọ ma nji dream mee breakfast

So I have to put in work, so me and my dream can break fast

Asị na education abụlọọ key to success, e-change-e padlock

Education abụlọọ key to success, men sị na ọọ laptop

M bulu akpa m, gaa H-K ka m tụọ ọlụ with my gees

Every night men na-atụ ọlụ, m jili MB na-a-download beat

'Cause na person wey wear shoe na him know where e dey pain am

Afụụ m onye tụkwasịị mmadụ obi, the person fail am

As in the story long, story longer than a trailer

And life dịka movie but nobody showed us thriller

From one police case to another, life on its own dị crazy

But my mum nesịị m anya sị m, "My son, I know you're born ready"

'Cause Ogbe m si bịa, hope adịlọọ, men enwelọọ penny

But we put in work with hope na one day this hustle go pay me

When I was coming up

All this people dey no gree to show me love

Now I step into your city and I fuck shit up

I just wanna be the new problem

When I was coming up

M yọba Olisa, tell Am make Him show me love

'Cause Ogbe m si bịa, men enwelọọ joy

Ọọ kwa now abụzi m the new problem

Hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey

2020, m graduate from school

Bulu akpa nata yard, at first when I came it was cool

But after three months, nwoke a-turn-ụgo to liability

'Cause enwetenwulọọ m ego nri, ka ọ fọzie ego electricity

M kpọọ my guy ị-rap, sị ya, "Nwanne, how e dey be?"

"Ọ bụgodi for some time ka m bịa legwọọ na your crib"

Ọ sị m na ọ nwelọdịị, as long as we go put in work

N'efifie anyị record-ụọ EP, and n'abanị we go bomb

On a faithful day, Arise na Bond asị m make we link up

M bịa Shoprite, anyị ekilie film and then we drink up

Ọ sị m, "How your music dey go? How you dey keep up?"

M sị ya na ego ji ọlị, my brother, ọ sị m, "Is that all?"

After some time ọ sị na anyị na-aba flight aga Lagos

Nezienu nnwa Obiagụ na-aba flight aga Lagos

Jehovah meelụ ya Isaac, now, na-emelụ ya Jacob

As long as dice still dey roll, all of us go still ball

When I was coming up

All this people dey no gree to show me love

Now I step into your city and I fuck shit up

I just wanna be the new problem

When I was coming up

M yọba Olisa, tell Am make Him show me love

'Cause Ogbe m si bịa, men enwelọọ joy

Ọọ kwa now abụzi m the new problem
