Eye Open

How many times did they write me essays?

Them go dey watch my face e dey vex

Nyankopɔn no ne nsa ano no icing

Pon my cake o

Used to starve, but now we get options

Ghetto style and sometimes yɛdi sɔkyee

Tings a gwan and I'm taking my lessons

Nti meda aa me ntumi nda ah

I try keep a one eye open

Left eye closed and the right eye working

One eye open, oh-oh

Nti medaa daa me ntumi daadaa

Keep a one eye open, one eye open

One eye open

One eye open, oh-oh

I live in a city of bullies

I no dey try to be one of them sillies

I chase my cedis, akoa wei maagani

And I tread carefully

Some people attack me rampant

Keeping it cool rasta eh mannkasa

I keep on ballin' in pain

I keep on ballin' in red Mo Salah

Some people askin' me aza

Sendin' me dollar, sendin' me zaza

Message me flowers or askin' me how far

Too medin Messiah nsi mefɔm da

Some people askin' me aza

Sendin' me dollar, sendin' me zaza

Message me flowers or askin' me how far

Too medin Messiah nsi mefɔm da

Nti meda aa me ntumi nda ah

I try keep a one eye open

Left eye closed and the right eye working

One eye open, oh-oh

Come again, come again, come again

Nti medaa daa me ntumi daadaa

Keep a one eye open, one eye open

One eye open

One eye open, oh-oh

Should we tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em?

Nti meda aa me ntumi nda ah

I try keep a one eye open

Left eye closed and the right eye working

One eye open, oh-oh

Nti medaa daa me ntumi daadaa

Keep a one eye open, one eye open

One eye open

One eye open, oh-oh
