Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look
Place your gaze here, the lens clear
Welcome to the commission
The focus never wavered I'm still the man on a mission
Chasing deals on acquisition expeditiously
'Cause what's having a business acumen without ambition?
Ownership is important, but only you can the vision
In between the split sheets only you can see division
Do you want it, or want people to that you have it
It's not adding is why some y'all all stuck in the same position
Now you hiding behind the optics to shield suspicion
Hiatus, you take break, but we know it's faux intermission
I'm revved up by the holy, it's a celestial ignition
Haile Selassie, the movement unfathomable progression
Connecting dot's shifting gears, testing he technician
Pay attention, and you may pick up some things about transmission
Joshua Pierce Pree, how grand I'm moving with precision
You can write like me, but will it have the same rendition?
Hmm absolutely not
How I flow this nice, it's absolutely God
On my life
Bumping Ab Soul sipping absolut, I'm absolutely knocked
My black hippie's long-term mentality is what?
Literally got me up to this spot
You need dedication to land this, the flyest in the plot
You see the preparation behind this it's slow-cooked in the pot
Fingertips that's likened to Midas my writing top of crop
You see the fire and the spark the defiance in my heart
[Verse 2]
Me, myself, and I its us, the only ones I rely
Only ones that keep it 10 with me till the end by my side
The wars, the battles that I fight begin first in the mind
So all defeat is psychological until the day I die
We taking control from here on
She likes the dominance is why she here
You ain't do shit if she still be having her hair on
She says she likes how I'm direct my intentions, we clear on
Put me in Off-White and get me Preston like Heron
50,000 ft above sea link me Kotoka
At the Bonvoy mixing king size with the konoha
My life's cinematic now I'm getting scripts, I doing films
It's abinibi, so, nothing's outta character
Margiela tabi prints in the sand where I walk
Word to Yamo, I'm not a saint at all
If these sharks are still looking at me
Thinking that they see food we eating lobster here
And it's hard-shell boiled but make I take you back
[Verse 3]
Back where na woro sí woro na kpan to kpan gang
Back to where 001 na celebrity and food plan
Back to where fifteen megabytes fit to buy you two land
Back to Ketu where my **** dey dey from signal jand
But everywhere good for the ama
Love grace peace, cluster full for the ama
Hard-working boys who keep it cool dem get the tools for the ama
Update na the currency who get the fulls for the ama
It's a cold world pattern cardigan
Enter Kadogan
Collect access this login no be Netflix family plan
Activate your 6, turn Taliban
Hold your CL well or OTL, them go achieve am
Hmm
Backyard, you go burn your bar for shrine
Still lap your unit dey search your kitchen "Bro, you get wine?"
Aboi take precautions, waka jẹjẹ e get why
Story time see life this street, abobi no be chaise
Wa jẹ n ja ẹ nipa Moshood
Ọmọ iya Auntie Bílíkí, aburo Sọbu
Third of five kids
Four doors down, you go see their room
To the left after yara awọn Qoyyum
State high school na there e dey go Moshood e dey S.S.2
You go see am every break time scribbling something for him book
Moshoodi fẹ di ọga o fẹ di boss débit gíga
O fẹ k'awọn banies jọ, Oliver, fẹ di keeper
O fẹ kọle fun baba ẹ o fẹ ra mọto fun malẹ
Valentine gift fun Rita, yara awọn yẹn wà nisalẹ
Dem no too guide for him side and that p dey bother am
Ṣé ma jẹ ẹni to ni lari? Na that p dey bother man
[Verse 4]
One more year lo kun
He's on his knees, he don dey bother God
K'Olọrun ṣe iyana because ko sowo lati furthermore
Taking every chance all to stack the Dọlapọ
Had I known the last comment of a fool, make I no kabamọ
Ọmọ 15 years old niyẹn
Ẹ wo dreams tí Moshood harbour when him go ship sail, e never know
Oluwa lo n gbe anchor
Ko d'ọlọkada or ko wa lo ma kọṣẹ barber, tailor
But to scale up this minor had to put his thinking in major
O ti su mi ka ma sare left and right ka to ri favor
O ti su mi ka ma lọ gba nnkan awin lọdọ Iya Favor
O ti su mi ki n ma ri pe, wọn gba popsi mi leti 'cause
Wọn yawo wọn ti i san, ah! Ko ni da fún Baba Debọ
I have to get it now bukata pọ ẹ wo expenses
No man can see what he sees even looking through his lenses
He blessed with the perspective to see beyond the trenches
But cursed with the perspective to see beyond the trenches
Neighbours ain't receptive
Parents stay deflective
Orientation na the knowledge for the street somewhat defective
Con man go bury con man for you to transform
You gas keep your goals inside awọn to wa n'bibayi deceptive
Issa 50/50 life he seen the nitty gritty live
Where one itty bitty spat could have you forever pick a side
Ẹgbẹ atí cacaus factors into the BG hype
Mii fẹ jale, mii fẹ gbebọn, I only wish to wield a mic
He tells his guys what he's tryna achieve dem say for street?
Ẹjẹ, better go bomb ma sọrọ ju, ẹnu pọ
How can you blame them it's kids with no dads for this place
Mothers with powder for dem face and this one no be ọmugọ
Two years later —
Moshood ti gbaṣẹ factory
Nibikan t'ọn ṣe biscuit contract worker, 10k salary
Four years in, nothing to show for it awọn ẹgbẹ mi ti stack up
Ṣe emi ma darugbo sibibayi counting Parle-G
The dilemma go far life na three-legged apoti
Write for help, dem leave am hanging bi ti Ken Saro Wi
Yan yan ti sọ already all man for himself
Make him dey go work kórópe park for him front
E look inside bro na kotí
Ifọti olorombo enter mọto fool, your fada
Friday night make e dey go work
Wọn ti ko Moshood mọ rógà
See my ẹjẹ in only boxers
As e bend for back of counter
Officer, say take crusher you throw for window when you come down
Ehen, you dey deny enter cell body your body go come down
Ehen, you know your right abi na we no come sabi am
Twenty-seven **** for this place, go dial left and right
Make you shout from now till morning
Nobody to ma gbọ n'ta
Saturday 7 a.m. dem open cell dey ask am
Ṣé, you want to bail yourself or call person to come arrange am
55K for bail 2K na hin dey Moshood dey aza
Monday de tan wọn transfer ọmọ iya mi lọ arena
Awaiting trial
[Verse 5]
And that's the last we heard of him
To this day
Ẹjẹ, we pray to Elohim
Ọrọ ta a mọwọ, ọrọ ta a mẹsẹ, ka ma fóri ko
K'ọn fi wa fi rọpo ẹlomi
E dey sup everywhere but in my country shit is gully
You fit no do bad, but you fit still land for maxi celly
What you thought?
Say Moshood story go get happy ending?
Only happens in movies Naija no be happy setting
My family it's dark, on the backroads gee all you go hear na pa!
Silence no yellings
Ọmọ ijọba no one dey guide this African roadman on what to D O
So it's only right the Lord protect, my steppings
Whether Bariga, Oshodi, Agege, Lagos Island, Ikorodu
Mushin, anywhere, whichever hood
It isn't far-fetched, look left, right, or look within
There you'll find yourself a Moshood
[Chorus]
Life
Somethings somethings still bother me
Will I fufill my destiny?
Life
Somethings somethings still bother me
Will I fufill my destiny?
Life
Somethings somethings still bother me
Will I fufill my destiny?
