[Chorus]
They sure ditched me up in the East
No oyster, railcard, get me a lawyer
I work hard, ask the employer
They sure ditched me up in the East
No oyster, railcard, get me a lawyer
I work hard, ask the employer
[Verse 1]
They been doin' dirt
Just put in work, tryna pattern up these bullet holes
I just blame the first
Shotgun in the attic so I'm strapped to prevent the third
Never for a second was it church that thought would hurt
Magic in my bones, abracadabra
Clapham got shut I took the bus na, na, na
Twenty minutes late but I'm like la, la, la, la
And I walk into the studio like hahaha
[Pre-Chorus]
Excuse me
Everythin' is Gucci
I been doin' squats, booty
I gotta a fella, Kuti
He said, "Ibola chi" (Cutie)
[Chorus]
They sure ditched me up in the East
No oyster, railcard, get me a lawyer
I work hard, ask the employer
They sure ditched me up in the East
No oyster, railcard, get me a lawyer
I work hard, ask the employer
[Verse 2]
I was tryna make it to the shoobs all good
Had a little sub with my cuz, all good
End up in the club with the dub, all good
Now I'm seein' crud in the hub, not good
No, no darlin'
You go bring wahala, I don't do dem tings
Femme la bush, I beg don't call my name
Olopa, don't tire, they're outside again
You're full with your mouth, I'm full in the belly
Respect your elders, they call me Aunt Shelly
Imo, Owerri
I will not lay hands unless it's to pray or to give praise
Okuko wambe wu ewu ya
Arabanko fit, wear man's Paco Rabanne
I dey talk well, well with the back of my hand
[Chorus]
They sure ditched me up in the East
No oyster, railcard, get me a lawyer
I work hard, ask the employer
They sure ditched me up in the East
No oyster, railcard, get me a lawyer
I work hard, ask the employer
[Interlude]
Cover yourself
Feed your soul, your heart, and your spirits
Feed your body
Stand firm and strong
[Outro]
I put my locs in a wrapper
Mind over matter
Let them chatta
Got no time for the games
Ups and downs
Snakes and ladders
All the man lookin' dapper
Sis, you go flatter
Show them badder
I dey run from wahala
Life's got madder
I need to pattern
