Ikon gets off the ‘Boat’ and experiences freedom on the ‘Ship’ over an interpolation of Fela’s ‘Sorrow, Tears and Blood’ lyrics and the follow up track, ‘Ships Out’.
Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter scatter
Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter scatter
Free
Free
Free
Where the hell did all the good girls go
Tryna get married before they become old
The bad girls they ain't doing a damn thing in lagos
Loud is now the new champagne
Its not too hard for me to make some hits
To get these bad girls to shake some hips
But my mind decides to take some trips
And reminisce on past relation
Ships have sailed but i look back to make sure
That these memories of her remain pure
Everybody roaming the streets they ain't sure
Blind hoping to find what you aimed for
Now these days you can't know until you try
Booty call or boyfriend can you decide
Are you gonna fight for love or just panic
Stay and play or jump off the titanic
Choose now
Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter scatter
Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter
Dying to be free
Dying to be free
We all want to be free
Everybody come on
Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter scatter
Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter
Dying to be free
Dying to be free
We all want to be free
Listen
Where the hell did all the good guys go
We tryna get money we can't remain broke
The bad guys they ain't doing a damn thing
Except for falz and my man aboki
Ikon
See
Some of us have angels
The rest of us have yoruba
My day one is trying my girlfriend
And she sef she is following sha
Woah
My niggas
Una dey crase
Una dey drink
Una dey blaze
Can you really trust all of your guys
Or can we work together and fly
The truth is you can't know until you try
Are you best friends homeboys or just guys
Are you gonna fight for love or just panic
Stay and play or jump off the titanic
Choose now
Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter scatter
Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter
Dying to be free
Dying to be free
We all want to be free
Everybody come on
Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter scatter
Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter
Dying to be free
Dying to be free
We all want to be free
One thing that i want to ask of everybody here
I wanna ask for a commitment
The commitment that i wanna ask from everybody is to do
The best that you can do
Thats for everybody in here
To be as successful as you can be
Be as great as you can be individualy
Cus thats the only way that this click that we here is solid
Right cus if everybody here is solid can nobody phase us fuck the bodies
It is the presidents day in america so ima go with this one
To life
Liberty
And the pursuit for whatever the fuck we wanna do
