[Intro: Suté]

Those the songs that I heard first

In the city head first filled with men with that bloodthirst

Still on this sandy road

Looking forward to what life unfolds

What do I control?

So I packed up all my load

Waved to my past then I headed for the door

Many had passed but I hadn't before

The knowledge I was slaving for was more

Yo I'm heading to Badagry

Jumped in a plane and I landed the same

In a land bound in shackles and chains

Life was never the same

Spoke my name it never sounded the same

Made these niggas all adjust to my frame

Then acquired some fame

This world was new filled with progress and pain

All this knowledge it affected my brain

Wait for me to explain

My old world now I never could claim

But I have to proclaim

Matter fact yo

I'm heading to Badagry

[Hook: Suté]

Yo I’m heading to Badagry (3x)

[Verse 1: Suté]

So I landed no jet lag

What's the next act

Hit my brother up like homie can I rest now

Try to make moves

This is chess now

New to the city but I gotta get my rep now

But you know how

These guys play you when they think that you local

Had to show style

Always strange when you're new to an old crowd

So easy to get lost like an old file

I get vocals

Them go know now

And to the guys who showed respect I am loyal

Cause I'm royal

Just a cub but they know I can roar now

Lion king

Money buys you finer things

What’s the cost of hiring people with a higher brain?

All these targets I had aimed

Feel so different yo its changed

Saw my land had stayed the same

And refused to ever change

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Suté]

Now I’m loving the life and can’t let go

Keeping it fresh yo

But the end of the month is like a death blow

When the cash low

Problems grow long like the beard of Castro

When it got cold

Had homies that’ll wrap me in their own clothes

They my earth yo

Wanna tell you that I love you to the death bro

Now that ya’ll know

Let’s get this money that’s deserving of us yo

We would blow trees

We were OG’s

Sing this song loud if you’ve ever known me

Know my story

Is one of glory

Whole team played the final picked the trophy

Payed the whole fee

Prayed to God like when I get home, please

Let me know to use this knowledge to expose these

Quote - unquote thieves

Glad I’m free after we made that journey to Badagry

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Suté]

There’s something strange about travelling

Overseas for the Uni life niggas hustling

I swear it’s kinda worth it cause of things you get exposed to

Teaches you to stand on your own two

Let nobody hold you back from what your dream is

Grew up with extreme kids

That I wish had seen this

But I drove for all of us

Sufferers, descendants of Romolus

Had to bring it home cause this zone has the bulk of us

You would hear my tone and be like ‘he ain’t one of us’

Judging my oesophagus

Language that we speak, that's the surface but

We relate to all of us

On a deeper level than this song can absorb of us

Let me reach where you at

Let me be the new cat

That paves the way so creative guys can react

Let me speak on Bantu, tell you where we at

Let me speak on Neo-Africa and the new map

See my guy it’s not further math

I’m just trying to take it further than

Mr. Soyinka, Achebe, even my brother man

Shoutout to M.I, he said I should murder them

And my homie in the heavens hope you smiling down

Know you proud that your boys close to the crown

We will hold it down

I swear we would hold it down

Even Idara knows, my brother Terna is the reason that I started prose

Even Abe knows when this shit started yo

And Isgidi pushed me, wish I had Obi-Wan with me

My nigga Martin told me find a suit that’ll fit me

Now it’s time for history

Back like you missed me

Spell my name right when you gist me

Nigga I am listening

Cause I’m back from Badagry
