Good Place to Start

[Intro]
What is this magic?
How do I begin the story about a place that can inspire and deflate you at the same time?
How do I talk about Lagos?
About how it has drawn me in, embraced me, encouraged me and spat me out all in the same breath
Where do I begin?
What is this city
This strange eccentric humid place
What is Lagos?
(What is Lagos?)

[Hook: Mystro]
Ori a gbe ayo fun agbe
Ori a lu ko aja afu o
Wo u wo
Ele dami mo ma gbagbe mi
O wo u wo
Ori eni la ure eni
O wo u wo

[Chorus: Mystro]
As I dey hustle everyday
Thinking of a way
Saying all my prayers
Ori mi ja funmi o
E da mi shalu mi
As I dey hustle everyday
Thinking of a way
Saying all my prayers
Ori mi shalun mi
E da mi shalun mi
E dami shalu mi o

[Verse 1: Ajebutter22]
When is a good place to start yeah
I’ve been waiting for today
Waiting for the time I’ll say my mind
I’ll rap about what happens in my life
Put everything on the line
Like I’m waiting for all my clothes to dry
I hope I’m not believing in a lie
Taking everybody with me
I don’t want to leave any man behind
Reality is really not the same
Cos my circles grow smaller
Some people will not carry all their weight
And some people have a different fate
So I tell my crew, we move
They follow me like a visionary
I’ve never mat them stationary
The game never break my heart, e mi legendary
So keep your comfort food, I don’t want your Ben and Jerry's
And I’m lucky I’m a rapper, the job market is not helping many
The runs market is accepting any
And we the youth are desperate
Ashawo making more than a banker
They buy oil from black market tanker
I’ll probably do the same
It’s easier to judge from the outside
I remember when I said I’ll never do some things I can’t even admit on this intro
Cos it’s too much info
I’m only confessing to heaven’s oloun

[Bridge: Mystro & Ajebutter22]
Eh eh…ahh ahh
Cos it’s a good place to start…oloun
Ori mi ja funmi oo
E dami shalu mi o
Cos It’s a good place to start

[Chorus: Mystro]
As I dey hustle everyday
Thinking of a way
Saying all my prayers
Ori mi shalu mi o
E da mi shalu mi o

[Verse 2 – Ajebutter22]
Anywhere there is a problem
There is an opportunity
Awon temi have the creativity
Shout out to my entrepreneurs
Awon young business owners
Those that work around with all kind of proposals
Awon ko ma hustle everyday
Give yourself a fighting chance
Cannot fail
God has better plans
Awon to ma hustle everyday
Give yourself a fighting chance
Cannot fail
God has better plans
Elect myself be leader of this movement
I know I need a room for improvement
But it’s a good place to start
I’m the leader of this movement
I know I need a room for improvement
But it’s a good place to start

[Bridge: Ajebutter22]
It’s a good place to start

[Chorus: Mystro]
As I dey hustle everyday
