[Verse 1]

Do you know what power is

Do you know what power gives

Do you know how long power lives

They caught me driving over Carter Bridge

Note I didn’t start this shit

Loaded up my cartridges

Your boy wasn’t born to quit

Now i’m on a power trip

I guess sometimes power fits

Yo i’m out of it

Take me straight to Yaba left

Can’t believe my power left

My guy this life is made to stress

And now all I see is death

I mean all i see is death

Using every breath to profess that i did it for you best

All these nights I failed to rest

Just so I could wear the crest

So i won’t be powerless

This life it don’t come with pairs

So i do it for you here

Not just grooving for your ears

I am moving for you soul

I am grooving for you slow

But you know my power grows

And you must have heard the flow

So you know he’s going to blow


[Hook]

Like i told you the last time

We're living in our prime we should do it like right now

Do it right now

Every town and background

So i went on my own quest

Tried to do my best but everythings hopeless

My mind is a treasure with no chest

Now i've got the power

Now i’ve got the power


[Bridge]

Round and round we go

Like a merry go

My power steady grows

I can get it yo (2x)


[Verse 2]

Took me 2 weeks

Pen, pad, and a few beats

You know the story I categorically brought the new shit

I think rappers in naij lose it cause they’re confused with

Stupid ideas of what the cue is instead of trying to move it

But i’ve been here for years

Moving lines to reach your ears

Trying to build a small career

Tours from here to over there

Found my heart now i’m a king

Found my art now i begin

This is half of my offence

Step into the lions den

My ideas are like a fence

Guarding me from all of them

What i conjure with a pen

Don pass every one of them

No be me from DCL?

Did you think i’ll disappear?

Benue kid with Lagos flair

And i’ve got the power here

Now i’ll show you why they fear


[Hook]

[Bridge] (4x)


[Verse 3]

And if you wonder why I do this maybe you think that I fake it

You must be mistaken it’s taken a lot of mistakes and of course you relate

A story of love and debate a life all in your face torn and disgraced

What the fuck is this place?

Still living with no light

Half the country with no life

I’m trying to give my all for alls right

But every night I get reminded we don’t care about our lives

I look into our leaders eyes and realise

The road to better lives is about to capsize

Preach to me, maybe peace could be

History is only meant for victory

So we could be forgotten

A mere footnote in this rotten existence

Of course it’s persistence that pushes the listeners to run to their screen push play and disappear

Of course they want a hard beat, catchy hook, beta craze music

Cause reality is something they engage with everyday and it’s made them slaves to disarray

What else to say
