[Intro: Mr. Nelson]

Sute how far now?

Omo see this guy oh

Just come my house just dey lie

All those things wey we do way back for school, this guy still dey do am

Just come here come dey tell me say e don buy 10 cars, 5 Bugatti

E get gold toilet

Say e just you know

I'm confused

[Verse 1: Suté]

My first day in school i told a lie

Told it to my peers

I told it to older guys

Told it for the rep

I told it so i'll look fly

And you ain't surprised

You too have told a lie

Growing up in lagos that shit is like do or die

You only live once but gidi is suicide

Give me a reason why we were running the city wild

Smoking weed blowing up smoke to the city sky

And when i said i rocked every party that was a lie

Couple teenagers popping up in the latest rides

And when i said i was given to drive you know i lied

Zooming in one direction kinda like Harry Styles

Back when babes were looking razz as fuck your boy was hazardous

Ask about my previa bus my boys'll tell you what was up

Lieing for the fun of it

Before i gave a fuck about the government

Corruption or the money they were funneling

[Hook: Mr. Nelson]

Omo e fi mi le

Why you come dey lie to us

Omo e fi mi le

You wan change white to black

Omo e fi mi le (Ogbeni Ogbeni)

You too dey lie Ogbeni

Omo e fi mi le

Ja de (You wan change am for us)

Outside

[Verse 2: Suté]

My first day in school i told a story

About the same time me and rap had matrimony

The facts are homie in lag you lax and lose cause these cronies

Never relax their moves are always intact homie

Parallel my life then

Lagos city was like a wild gem

And we were scavengers in a tunnel looking for light then

Party organizers, obtainers were living the life then

And we were almost brainless i swear we wanted to be like them

So right then, when it was our turn and we saw the light mehn

Did my first party and everyone was invited

At the same time was writing with pens and pads mehn

Niggas was fighting free style battles i was igniting

Out of DCL

Sheltered from dangers and the city hell

Where agberos, touts and real shooters dwell

I know the city well, grew up on the city smell

Now i storytell unholy tales that show the city's real

[Hook]

[Outro: Mr. Nelson]

[Bridge: Suté]

If you knew me then

You'll know how this began

Birth in the food basket

Grew up out in gidi mehn

Silly men

Started with guys that didn't see the end

So i've chosen to rise and live our dreams again (2x)

[Verse 3]

My first day in school i started a journey

Now i'm on the road, nobody can steer it for me

No comparing, the best and you didn't hear it from me

Soon approaching danger my nigga no near am for me

So I'm booked for the next flight

Pocket wasn't full on my left thigh

Talking bout school and you guessed why

A moment that gets passed by

They sold me to badagry but it's cool homie let's ride
