Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Me, I'm never gonna let this flashing light deceive me
Only time we see a celebrity is on the TV
'Member when I said I'm by myself, they didn't believe me?
Now I'm hopping in a jet, going straight to Abu Dhabi
[PreChorus]
Couldn't even fall in love back then, nobody send me
All the pain wey I feel dey for my belly
Who ever thought that I'll riding all this Bentley?
Small boy wey go run your matter inside the trenches
[Chorus]
People
People be very evil
And I know they can't see through
Don't wanna be a mechanic, O'Lord, me, I wanna be a baller
People
People be very evil
I know they can't see through
Don't wanna be a mechanic, O'Lord, me, I wanna be a baller
[Verse 2]
So I be catching no feelings, have you heard of a ****?
I'll be walking down the trenches in my dirty-looking nicker
I forget say na slippers, I couldn't even get no snickers
Mama said she didn't kill her parents, so her pikin no fit kill her
[Verse 3]
So I be loading up my gun while praying for forgiveness
Almost shed a tear when they said I was God Forbidness
So I walked inside the room, and then I left no witness
I didn't even wanna show love, now I got a Mistress
[Verse 4]
My Messiah
Stand in the rain with my cloak and dagger
Didn't mean to send you to the Holy Father
Now I'm surrounded in the dawn of fire
Dawn of fire
[Verse 5]
My Messiah
Stand in the rain with my cloak and dagger
Didn't mean to send you to the Holy Father
Now I'm surrounded in the dawn of fire
Dawn of fire
[PreChorus]
Couldn't even fall in love back then, nobody send me
All the pain wey I feel dey for my belly
Who ever thought that I'll riding all this Bentley?
Small boy wey go run your matter inside the trenches
[Chorus]
People
People be very evil
And I know they can't see through
Don't wanna be a mechanic, O'Lord, me, I wanna be a baller
People
People be very evil
I know they can't see through
Don't wanna be a mechanic, O'Lord, me, I wanna be a baller
[Verse 6]
My Messiah
Stand in the rain with my cloak and dagger
Didn't mean to send you to the Holy Father
Now I'm surrounded in the dawn of fire
Dawn of fire
[Outro]
Timi Jay, on the track
