Lyrics

Boys are not smiling
Make you give us our pay today
Boys are not smiling
We dey hustle, we no dey play
(We dey hustle everyday)
Me den poverty, shawn dey talk
I block ein number, wey e stop dey call
So now blog dey fall
Lady cash, oh, I'm so in love
Crushing on the dollar
Pounds deɛ I chop before
Boss we bore
We taya, dey play nice
We be fire, if you hire we want to be paid right
Full vim, no fear for show, no stage-fright
Y'ate free, no fear for road, no brake lights
Mood on Ice Cube
Move like diabetes type 2
Ain't nothing sweet here
It's Juls on the beat here
So I dig deep for mine
Hope you see the signs
Me bɔ adwuma then pray to my maker
And he let the dough fall
Such a bad baker
Me nsere ma ma black, Darth Vader
Chaley until we making mad paper
Boys are not smiling
Make you give us our pay today
Boys are not smiling
We dey hustle, we no dey play
(We dey hustle everyday)
They say na fire flow
Everywhere I show that messiah flow
Ready for the throne
Let them know that it's I alone
Anyone them call, make them know, say we higher, bro
Alte kids, how many we inspire though
Old Gees still nod their head like it's hamato
Bang, bang, still been the slang they aspire to
Artist use to feel, say na chop alone, die alone
But we brought that whole camp, omo that's the vibe we on
Kanako chilling out in Lagos with my Ghana folks
Loud pack, omo these longs no dey taya, bro
Show dem has been about persistence and desire, bro
Made it through the fire, it was never about tryna blow
Champion, no easy, all the training no for hard bro
They come with full vex, me ajus dey spar jo
And if the money no be motive, don't be dialing
'Cause the only thing you'll hear back is silence
Boys are not smiling
Make you give us our pay today oh
Boys are not smiling
We dey hustle, we no dey play oh
(We dey hustle everyday)
Shining like we fine diamonds, no Juls on 'em
Still drops gems when he starts rhyming, his mood sort of
Have a feel of divine guidance
Built it from the ground up, now the teams iconic, true story
See, 'round here boys aren't smiling
If you selling that fake shit, chale we not buying
On that graveshift, no day that we not grinding
On the Jacob's ladder to success, can't stop climbing, make moves on 'em
You know it's hot 'cause Juls on 'em
You were one of the first cats who didn't snooze on 'em
I just thought facts, I got nothing to prove from me
I paid my dues, now it's time to recoup from it
Rap prodigy but I never been a shook one
Fish outta water, baba, I'm off the hook, son
If we talking Ls, I admit I took some
So these days your boy gets it straight off the books 'cause
Boys are not smiling
Make you give us our pay today
Boys are not smiling
We dey hustle, we no dey play
(We dey hustle everyday)
Suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer
(All these tears no be play)
Suffer, suffer no go worry me again
(We dey hustle everyday)
Suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer
(All these tears no be play, no be play)
Suffer, suffer no go worry me again
Suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer
Suffer, suffer no go worry me again
Suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer
Suffer, suffer no go come my way
