Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Man I've been bad since '97
I never cared 'bout the devil
Hmm hmm hmm
Man I've been bad since '97
I never cared 'bout the devil
[Verse 2]
Since '17 I've been smoking hot like a kettle
Any time know it's less you know I never settle
Get it running on a track
I deserve a medal or maybe some diamonds
Shining on my bezel
I dey on my level
Man I'm still a rebel
Who you wan dey underrate?
Are you even normal?
Man I'm on a different lane
Not to keep it formal
[Verse 3]
I dey craze you know
And just so you know
If I think you're moving funny
I'll be Sam Loco
Cause my music is one thing that I take personal
Don't compare me to nobody I dey spazz you know
On a verse you know
[Verse 4]
It's impossible, say you hear I no deliver
Must be dumb you know
Fit be say I really no wan do the song you know
Or person dey for my back pointing a gun you know
[Verse 5]
Man I dey hot
Ori mi gbona bi ina suya
The level I dey Burj Khalifa
Eshi ma ri ran wo my ****
I fit to put that on my mother
Your money can't impress my ****
Na if e touch my hand I go feel am
No need for talking plenty
[Verse 6]
Sit down watch as we dey do for setting
Ye! ori mi gbona bi ina suya
The level I dey Burj Khalifa
Eshi ma ri ran wo my ****
I fit to put that on my mother
Your money can't impress my ****
Na if e touch my hand I go feel am
No need for talking plenty
Sit down watch, as we dey do for setting ye!
[Verse 7]
Ori mi gbona bi ina suya
The level I dey Burj Khalifa
Eshi ma ri ran wo my ****
I fit to put that on my mother
Your money can't impress my ****
Na if e touch my hand I go feel am
No need for talking plenty
Sit down watch, as we dey do for setting ye!
