[Refrain]
Twenty-three, twenty-four
Shebi I tell dem before
Make dem stop to de fenu foh
Shelayeyin
Iwo gbon gbo
It de turn turn
Bi revolver mag .44
Tell me what Oluwa can’t do
Me I no skedaddle
Tell me what oluwa no fit handle
Jengbadun lomagbadun
Boya Ko tan candle
Dem small shatta bandle
[Chorus]
Walking poetry, I am greater
I’m a work of art, basquiat
Na gaskia, owo ati alafia
Lawan wa, not time for drama o
Walking poetry, I am greater
I’m a work of art, basquiat
Na gaskia, owo ati alafia
Lawan wa, not time for drama o
[Verse]
El chapo e mi ni
Ebeniza Obey d commander emini
Capone, kapo dе tutti emini
I’m on one
Won ri ginger tеmi ri
I’m guilty if dem say my swag it de kill
I no go appeal
Know it’s hard to swallow the pill
Tell Nojim tell Raheem may you tell wakeel
Shout out to my Sphinx, my mama na she be my queen
Ogbor, talo bi omogo
Tani ugo ton wu bo ama kor
No de fuck up
O lor o ko, o mu okor
Woni iro ko emi lomo tofin yanga, yeah
All eyes on me biti 2pac
See I too bad
You go feel am like kolos two drag
I no de buga, I be cool cat
Never loose guard
Can’t catch the wave with a durag
Studying me it’s an honour jeun lor
I get many pages like songs of Solomon
Lola Anobi Muhammad
Koni wal lai lai till we reach al Jana
[Refrain]
Twenty-three, twenty-four
Shebi I tell dem before
Make dem stop to de fenu foh
Shelayeyin
Iwo gbon gbo
It de turn turn
Bi revolver mag .44
Tell me what Oluwa can’t do
Me I no skedaddle
Tell me what oluwa no fit handle
Jengbadun lomagbadun
Boya Ko tan candle
Dem small shatta bandle
[Chorus]
Walking poetry, I am greater
I’m a work of art, basquiat
Na gaskia, owo ati alafia
Lawan wa, not time for drama o
Walking poetry, I am greater
I’m a work of art, basquiat
Na gaskia, owo ati alafia
Lawan wa, not time for drama o
