Verse 3
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 norr 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 p but
Why more workers for ein branches no dey enjoy the fruits, slowwww 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?
E hard oh, nso me mpaaba oh
Ɛnyɛ me honam na ɛyɛ mmerɛ nka me npɛ ada oh
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, abeg make you no stress your kids
Pass it all down to family except your sins
Make the losses into lessons so they can win
