Glasses in the Air

Omo you know say this life enh?

Just get the way wey e take be

No be according to size dem take dey share am reach you, mehn

You no understand?

We know where we dey come from

Aii, my name na Erigga Paper Boi, mehn

Congratulations

Glasses in the air for us when don try

Growing up no easy for us

Na we be those children when dey trek go school

But now we dey drive dey drop our pikin for school

Glasses in the air for us, multiple streams of income, from mumu to boss

Glasses in the air for us when no give up

Glasses in the air for us

I know how it feels to be this broke

Inside jungle dey beg, may you see smoke

If you get, you for buy nah

Hunger dey kpai am, sapa dey tell am

Remember when dey lie say pile get money?

For us to fit in, cos all their pile get money

Enter their house dey wonder, see as their parlor big

But today I no remember how their parlor be

One of my guy mile warn me, where I take fear my head

She say "Erigga, why you dey wear only one shirt

Dey come this house, from today, no near that gate"

Na money when man no get, mama no go fit relate

If your papa na big man, you no know wetin God don do for you

Many people hang for waiting

So church dey full, pastors dey cash out big time

The sign of the time, dey burn money for anointing

Glasses in the air for us when don try

Growing up no easy for us

Na we be those children when dey trek go school

But now we dey drive dey drop our pikin for school

Glasses in the air for us, multiple streams of income, from mumu to boss

Glasses in the air for us when no give up

Glasses in the air for us

Mindset of the average trenches pikin

Na wetin to chop, wetin concern am with vacation?

But today, na still we the same we trenches pikin

Their own dey beg to carry them go on vacation

The distance between you and success no far

Na you no wan waka fast, dey follow mumu crew

Below the poverty line, wetin you wan make I do?

The odds against us, chances na 0.2

Reality don dey call you, answer, big man

For small money, see the way you spoil life throway

Life precious, no use am play gamble, big man

Na why two of us no fit waka go reach today

Toast to the nights when dem say make who no get shut up

Lock up, no talk, wetin you wan contribute?

Bag of nothing plus bag of nothing equals to nothing

Na why we find money, like if you move we shoot

Glasses in the air for us when don try

Growing up no easy for us

Na we be those children when dey trek go school

But now we dey drive dey drop our pikin for school

Glasses in the air for us, multiple streams of income, from mumu to boss

Glasses in the air for us when no give up

Glasses in the air for us

Omo make I tell you something enh

You see this game called life, you dey win, my brother man

Anything you do, you dey win but na you go decide the kind win you wan win

Because your brain dey wired to win, you no understand?

Check am out nah, if you tell yourself say you wan make money, you go make money

If you tell yourself say you no wan make money, so far you believe am, you no go make money, na so life be

Toast to the night when be say nothing dey to eat

But right now I dey one big buffet now, I no know wetin to eat

Day break everywhere burst mehn, family time, baby

Make we go chop
