Stupid 9-5

Been pushing all my life

I Do it for my guys

& Do it cos it’s right

You do it for the likes

Put my goons up on the map

My music on the charts

My crew is on demand

I doubt you will understand

See From Mushin to Ajah

That’s the movement we desire

And the music is the ride

So we’re doing it for life. Amen

But then I need kpa kpa kpa

Cos my Gs dey H and no be Ghanana
