[BNXN fka Buju:]

Chale, see as e dey play

I’m still working real hard on a Saturday

My future, I don see from a mile away

No be you go tell me how I go party

J’aye nlo oh

Me say, fast on a holiday

‘Cause all work and no play go dey dull me

You know say minimum wage no be my money (yeah)

And, any little small change wey fi come my way (what’s else?)

(Uhn), j’aye nlo oh

 

[Sarkodie:]

Never thought I would make it

I used to dream for better days

Nsem no dooso, I just wanna get away

Who really cares what a hater gotta say?

Life gave me lemons, I turned them to lemonades, like (wooh)

Money we dey chase

Deep thoughts, madwen mu do se Kevin Gates (ahn)

Thank you God for your compassion and all your grace

Heaven is the peace, in your heart it’s not a place

I gave it my all (naa)

I slept on the floor (ahn)

I take risk anytime I step outta the door (wooh)

Se me twe na doe no mba aa then I’m breakin’ the law (yes)

Anythin’ about the money I’m gettin’ involved (naa)

They told me not to dream big

This thing is bigger than dreams

Ten storey buildin’, we talkin’ a couple beams (uh)

Tough skin, go get the money by any means (naa)

Me ma mo motivation, manba se me post memes

Time changes from Subin to Abbey Road (uh)

Who dey want am, e be hin de carry load (yes)

Sika no aba, magye diamond, asan agye gold (naa)

Ghetto boy with some money (hmm-mm)

You know how the story goes, ah (yeah)

 

[BNXN fka Buju:]

[Sarkodie:]

I was destined to make it whether you hate it or love it (naa)

Yes, I’m blessed, nothin’ you can do about it (wooh)

And, we know empty barrels are always the loudest

Got myself a Lamborghini, it’s droppin’ in August

Used to hang around the corner 2003 (wooh)

Me tua me dues, nti na yaa menya love on the street (naa)

I remember how a homie dey sleep in the heat

Now, they gotta pay me just to sleep in a beautiful suite (naa)

I thought I told you I was gonna be one of the best (wooh)

I spoke to B High, “Can I get J on the text?” (naa)

That’s some boss and talk and you can hate on the flex (naa)

I don’t need a middle man ’cause I pay all the checks (ahn)

Oh, this is heaven to me, I came from nothin’ (wooh)

All this money you see came from rappin’ (naa)

Everybody follow my lead ’cause I ain’t stoppin’ (naa)

Mhen, they say they harder than me?

Them homiea cappin’

And hey, everythin’ is okay

On the jet to L.A

Kasa Ntem ’cause I’m late (naa)

And, I’m still gettin’ paid (ahn)

What’s the point when you hate (wooh)

‘Cause I got food on the plate? (yes)

Think you made a mistake (naa)

Industry half ye fake, uhn

Money over bi- (what’s else?)

Got the Mercedes for the Mrs. (naa)

Dead wounds but you can see the stitches

Ain’t no genie grantin’ all your wishes

You gotta work
