(Once upon a time, a king was born in 1999)
(It's all man's burden, as I mo-)
1999, (wagwan)
1999, mama put a king in action
Goddamn, mummy, this your kid is so handsome
First born, ogo t'ọmọ gbè wá'yè má tension
Gradually I'm going, Adewale is now a bad boy
Papa always grinding, see the struggle for hin face (for hin face)
Mama still dey strive, dey for ghetto still dey pray (ghetto still dey pray)
And I run comot from lungu ni yárá kàn t'ángbè
Iṣhẹẹ lo s'ọmọ nu, ájo o dẹ lè dábi ilè
Some of us are lost ni'gbati ao b'ọla nlè (b'ọla nlè)
Many dey for game, ao mọ'gba t'owo má dè (t'owo má dè)
'Cause my guys smoking colos, wọn l'áyè l'ofi ṣhèè
RIP to Para, á má pádè l'ẹsẹ J
