You gotta love it

You gotta love it

Heyyy



Verse 1:


Born in the mid eighties, raised in the nineties..

.. when they played this shit daily, 808s will remind me..

..of my daddies peugeot Five-0-Five

I was about 5 oh my

..eyes closed I..

. .try to remember being a little kid in the barracks, my parents keeping me away from that okoko maiko life

Officer quarters, daddy was fast rising

Dreams of making captain but the ship capsized and..

..that's a story for another song

1990 saw my little brother born, where the fat little bugger from?

But even after her second son born..

.. Mom made sure the first never left the front porch

Unfortunately turned me into one shy kid

Folks try to protect kids from life within shells

It tried to get into the one I hid in

Just hoping it would crack like some dry lips and..

.. It didn't at the time


Verse 2:


Now here's one of my family photo albums

That's Aunty Julie and that's errr I don't know about him.. but she, she came around like she owned the place

My dad's younger sister but she had an older face

I never liked her she was scary as hell, hairy as well, looked like she was able to cast a nefarious spell

Oh, here's uncle Joe, one of my favourites

All love and none of the hatred

God bless him

Funny dude, he could be a clown

He got a wife and kid and they living in PH now

Wait lemme show you Uncle Paul

Back in the day, the man used to coach club football

That's him. The dark little guy with the goatee

I bet they always made fun of his height when he coached teams

Wait, we still make fun of his height but it's lowkey..

.. cos no one got the balls to pick a fight with the OG

We love him




Verse 3:


Momsy been no dey let us speak pigin

Speak am she go beat pikin

Beat am like him tiff chicken

Slap! Pow! Sorry now this one na rap now

Dem say I no dey do song wey bus drivers fit blast loud

For naija na the formula..

.to form mula

Play am for joint wey old men with pot belle dey pour gulder

My first influence na Uncle Tome, see..

Am for this picture with my momsy

My guy been dey enter bathroom with heavy deck

Blast music with negligence..

Of people wey wan sleep or get any rest

Arrested development dey echo for the residence

Soap all over the cassette player na evidence

When we get party, na me been dey dub songs from radio

Stack of all the whole cassettes plenty o

Enough tapes to fap songs from many shows

Remember JAJ the mecadon?

Kai bros you must be very old
