[Intro]
(It's Leriq, call the paramedic)
Yawa
Oh Lord have His mercy

Ehh!
Sibilly dong diddly diddly dong ling, ahhh
Ahhnn-ahhnn-ah-ah-ahhnn-ah-ah, ah
[Verse 1]
I been dey wear Versace shade, dem dey wear their Ray-Bans
All dem need Versace shade to appease the nation
Them hear me sound for TV and radio station
Dem ah see me raising hell and disturbing Satan
Wait up, partaking of misbehavior
They call me Oluwa Burna, the Hits Creator
Pon the road to greatness, we must encounter haters
Some of dem ah hire private investigator
[PreChorus]
I tell them no be by force
Eh!
Tell them no be by force
As I dey try waka pass I dey do my thing
I tell them no be by force
Eh-eh-eh
Tell them no be by force
Eh!
Tell them no be by force
As I dey try waka pass I dey do my thing
I tell them no be by force
[Chorus]
If you never see landlord, yawa dey o
And if you never know, yawa dey o
You dey for house
You see your family them never chop, yawa dey o
And if you no go church, yawa dey o
And if you no go rush, yawa dey o
Comot for road, police stop you
They search you, see kpoli, yawa dey o
[Verse 2]
Say it was 2010 when I drop my single
I was skinny and my face was full of pimple
Them be tell me say this music industry simple
I go use my eyes see say no be so the thing go
Thing go no be say I wan blow with one track
And my music fade away and I no fit come back
I dey try to win a Grammy to say I done that
Come 2012 I signed a contract
[PreChorus]
I tell them no be by force
Hey!
Tell them no be by force
As I dey try waka pass I dey do my thing
I tell them no be by force
Eh-eh-eh
Tell them no be by force
Eh!
Tell them no be by force
As I dey try waka pass I dey do my thing
I tell them no be by force
[Chorus]
If you never see landlord, yawa dey o
And if you never know, yawa dey o
You dey for house
You see your family them never chop, yawa dey o
And if you no go church, yawa dey o
And if you no go rush, yawa dey o
Comot for road, police stop you
They search you, see kpoli, yawa dey o
[Refrain]
