Iyen omo t’oba pa ishu wa’le

It’s been a long time comin’, long time comin’
Searchin’ for me for pandemic
And me lookin’ for money since I was 16
Now, you think that I be jokin’
But, I no get am for things wey dey been think
Money matter be the main thing
Live my life, live my life like king
King, king wey I be, ah
Awon kan w’aye, won wa p’owo
Awon kan w’aye, won wa shishee (won wa shishee)
Awon kan shishee fun onishee
Ori mi, maje n shishee fun shishee
Awon kan w’aye lati gb’owo
Awon kan w’aye lati j’aiye
Ko ma-ma s’aye aiye k’aye
Na money gan gan be the main aiye, you know
Na wetin you know, you know
Yee, wetin you no know, you no know
Pekele pekele, arugbo je gbese
T’oba l’omo, omo e l’oma san
(Iyen omo t’oba pa ishu wa’le)
T’oba l’omo, omo e l’oma san
Pekele pekele, arugbo je gbese
T’oba l’omo, omo e l’oma san
(Iyen omo t’oba pa ishu wa’le)
Iwo lo mo igba toh ma

You better wise up, paddie oh, ahh
