[Intro: 2Baba, Ehi Idibia]

Play the other one

Oh woah woah woah woah woah

Oh woah woah woah woah woah

No beat me

I wanna be free

Free like a bird

Oh I thought you heard

Say I no like yawa, I like peace instead


[Chorus: 2Baba]

I wanna be free, free, free

Free like a bird

Oh I thought you heard

Say I no like yawa, I like peace instead

I thought you knew, knew, knew

That this man is true

So when you see me passing through

Let me be because I don pay my dues

Hey


[Verse 1: 2Baba]

Abi you no know say I dey here

Look me as your mallam, plus a soldier and a player in this industry

Abi you no dey fear

Haba mana walahi, my guy, you no dey like to hear

When you look up in the sky

And you see me dey fly

You dey try to shoot my blockus, maka why?

Ask me nonsense, me no dey reply

We no dey die, guy, we dey only multiply

Pick up the pieces of your life

Why you dey look me when there’s a lurk in your eye?

That's the difference between me and you mama please don’t look what other people do

Try to stop me, I go zoom zoom zoom

You dey learn how to fly, I’ve been to the moon

Bad-mouth me, back-bite me

Try to provoke me but I no send you

I'ma do me, I'ma let you do you

There’s a piece of advice for you

Don’t try to walk upon my shoes

Don’t try because e no go size you


[Chorus: 2Baba]

I wanna be free, free, free

Free like a bird (free like a bird)

Oh I thought you heard

Say I no like yawa, I like peace instead

I thought you knew, knew, knew

That this man is true

So when you see me passing through

Let me be because I don pay my dues

Hey


[Verse 2: 2Baba]

When I walk into town

And I’m strolling around

All the bad belle people dem go start to dey frown

Dem dey do like say dem no know say dem no fit pull me down

Dem no know say say na only God na him dey keep me profound

Dem dey look Uche face

Na only me dem dey trace

Dem dey do like say na dem holy pass for the place

Dem dey scatter my gaze

Dem just dey block my ways

But no matter what they do, we just don't care about them

Dem take the peace out of me

Dem no want let me to be

Dem they always try to take the sugar out of my tea

'Cause I'm the motherfucking man, I got my life to live

See, no matter what I do it’s my prerogative

So don’t push me 'cause I’m close to the edge

I’m trying not to lose my head


[Chorus: 2Baba]

I wanna be free, free, free

Free like a bird (free like a bird)

Oh I thought you heard

Say I no like yawa, I like peace instead

I thought you knew, knew, knew

That this man is true

So when you see me passing through

Let me be because I don pay my dues

Hey


[Outro]

When you look up in the sky and you see me dey fly

You dey try to shoot my blockus, maka why?

Ask me nonsense, me no dey reply

We no dey die, guy, we dey only multiply

Pick up the pieces of your life

Why you dey look me when there’s a lurk in your eye

That's the difference between me and you mama, please don’t look what other people do

Try to stop me, I go zoom zoom zoom

You dey learn how to fly, I’ve been to the moon

Bad-mouth me, back-bite me

Try to provoke me but I no send you

I'ma do me, I'ma let you do you

There’s a piece of advice for you

Don’t try to walk upon my shoes

Don’t try because e no go size you

Just let me be
