[Verse 1: Joey B]

It's the god of waves, ma me sima make I launch the way

How do you even proceed without informing the king

Bonchaka, Rap Docter, all in me

See the swaga, Lady Gaga born this way

You can't, gyae na wo hwe hwɛ me dia wo whe whɛ pin

Gyae na kill me style wey I dey soak the scene

All mighty, n'm swaggy, only me

Joy daddy, all vibely, Joey Beezy hmm

Make I shun dey run my boujee mof?

You go do the same if friends of fame be what e usually cost

Do this shit for North K, you niggas be someway

Mo na mode bae so yɛ yɛ no hit pɛ complaints

Too bad, I'm Hercules and Sinbad

The way I son this niggas now them see say I'm the true dad

Pae mu ka, ma kaa maka be my green card

Spread love chale, we used to that, one, one one

[Bridge: Joey B]

What's the word? 89 89, what's the word?

We just dey take play chale, we just dey take play

What's the word? 89 89 80 89

Classick what's the word?

[Verse 2: Joey B]

Chale e just tire me

Nowadays nothing inspires me

Take me back to keteke and all the timeless kings

The sound was sicker than all the newer things now in the scene

It sounds ridiculous what be this sef I bore chale skip, damn it

Top 5, who sef I go put for there?

Despite, make I look through your cassettes

89 to 95 all wavy

98 you're rather late, all babies

Pusher, lend me your handkerchief my sweat dey break

Aluta, lend me your Afro-comb my hair dey itch

Happy little children, we just wanna play when

Zapp Mallet produces, chuck deduces to the lame trend

Buk Bak, can I please have some Tic-Tac?

Joey w'aha Joey w'aha tesɛ Philomena

What's the word? What's the word?

The sound is back

Hammer wossop, make i leave am like that? e need

[Bridge]

89, what's the word? What's the word?

89, Beezy

[Verse 3: Mutombo Da Poet]

Feeling Nostalgic, Joey thanks for rewinding back to 89

But I'm an 81 baby feels I belong to a different generation

Let me tell you about mine

As we do this we pass on to the next

The tradition goes on, that's key

No soap should wash away these legends

Soon they'll become classics like Oedipus Rex

Echo to the Ambuley debate still controversial

But my first and favorite rapper is the guy in the [?] commercial

Before kpa kpa kpa there was kpon kpa, Azigiza Jnr had hits for days

Now he's in the church praying without ceasing for his life to be eternal

My era is now obsolete, no iTunes, no Spotify

It was GBC 1 and GBC TV now there are options

You can stream any video on YouTube after you go to search and specify

Don't play with me of you've never played cassette side A and B like the teams in your PE class

Don't talk to make if you've never recorded from radio to tape

Songs of your favorite stars

Shouts to Bushkey, B.B Menson, Woodman and DJ Black

Why don't y'all wait for song to end before you talk back

Chale Joey, you make I kai tins
