Lyrics

[Chorus]
The street takes you when it's time to be a man
Your plan fails you when it’s time to change your plan
Your girl leaves you when it’s time to face your life
But your fire won’t burn if you keep getting scared of gas
You're worth loving, you're worth fighting for
I see your struggles you be man you’re worth trying for
O dẹ ma n bomb o, o deserve ki maga lari mọ
All though we’re tired of the fall but we rise like it’s norms
[Verse 1]
Life gave me no option I had to grind hard or die poor
They said they love but I saw hatred inside love
Who will pay the price for consequence of my actions?
Mom couldn't do too much she watched me becoming a bad boy
I hustle like a beast from sunrise till it's night fall
Thugging till I’m dead brr I’m not scared of rapture
We’re writing our faiths we don’t care if they don’t like us
Rebellious and stubborn those were the names they tagged us
They sly us, they starve us
At our back they stabbed us
They took car we gan bus
Wọn wa ni ka ma fọ store
They fucking denied us
Be forming a champion
You see now is my turn wọn wa ni ki n ma pompous
[Verse 2]
When you look at me you see a guy but I see a beast
I see a boy with traumas and a lot snitch's
I’m just tryna preach I got pains in my sleeves
If you leave your girl in my space I won’t fuck your bitch
[Verse 3]
Talk about loyalty ọmọ iya mi o ni pa ẹ ti
Bro, I'll be down for you till we 90
Eternity through all the crisis
I will be a shoulder you can lean when you’re slacking
pray the bad days won’t be longer than the good days
A jọ wọnu korope, together we go fly plane
Momsy go smile again, popsy go smile again
Iwọsi t'ọn fi lọ wa no go count
[Chorus]
But the street takes you when it’s time to be a man
Your plan fails you when it’s time to change your plan
Your girl leaves you when it’s time to face your life
But your fire won’t burn if you keep getting scared of gas
You're worth loving, you're worth fighting for
I see your struggles you be man you’re worth trying for
O dẹ ma n bomb o, o deserve ki maga lari mọ
All though we’re tired of the fall but we rise like it’s norms
[Verse 4]
You either hustle till the end or be sorry for yourself
People no really care they go laugh you if you beg
I’m betting on myself I won’t give up till I’m there
Till I buy my mama Benz ọmọ iya I won't relent
[Verse 5]
Thank God for life but no be life be this o
Ile-aye eleyii le ju ABD o
Ka ni mo mọ ibi ti kini yẹn wa ma ti ji
And gbogbo nnkan to ba dẹ ma gba ma fi di
Ṣe make I start to dey tell you weitin my eyes dey see on a daily?
Ta a ba ni debe yẹn, normal a ni de'bi
So many times wey I go broke to jẹ pe ma sun lebi
Igba kan a ma rile gbe ṣebi nisin a n sun AP
Dem say make I no dey fold o
But mommy don dey old o
Iya ni wura but I'm still digging for the gold o
Ti n ba pada lọ mọ wọn lọwọ, wọn ti rogo
05:00am in London, men, it's cold o
[Verse 6]
It’s gonna happen cus I’m gonna make it happen
Sugar lo ma n gbẹyin ewuro igbẹyin ma dun
Even tho I still dey fight so many battle
T'awọn ẹgbẹ mi ṣiṣẹ loru mọju ẹni n ma sun
Thank you for what you’ve done and what you’re still gonna do
I dey say make I see one or two
Baba God say e dey for me ki lẹ tun n sọrọ fun
