Feel like my father doubled the sins of his father, uh

And I'm the one here shouldering all the karma, uh

Yɛ count wo out a it does a lot to your spirit

E fit to break you down and e fit to help build it, uh

Hwɛ neɛ yabɛ duru, saito mpo nie na international school

Like man dey search enough to be comfortable

But the catch be say you be comfortable

Wey you slip small nɔɔ then poverty this

So, too much money and property list, be what we dey aim for

Otabil, say if I sow seed, e go grow make we blow trees

No pee but, why more workers for ein branches no dey enjoy the fruits?

Slow it seems

Every rich man we idolize is either drug money

Fraud money, corrupt money or God's money

Nti 9 to 5 yi ara na yɛ de bɛ si Villagio?

Use every hour on this path bro

That be why every line, every word

Every verse for be fire, every style, every guest, every step for be higher

Every sec I require every cheque I desire to be set

No time for regrets

Man dey waya for a while to get some tins'

Whatever you do, I beg make you no stress your kids

Pass it all down to family except your sins

Make the losses into lessons so they can win
