Lies People Tell - Ybnl, Olamide, Maupheen

Hey son wassup, this is your dad

Am writing this to motivate you whenever you are down

Just remember my story and things that people told me

Nine mili-mitre to my head couldn’t hold me

Back from the facts and all the things that I believed in

Now I treat a special woman, the womb I lived in

How I used to go go, how I used to go get

How I used to go to shows with no cash in my pocket

Am talking 08, 09, O10, O11

For every level there’s a different devil

I sold my soul to the game just to dine with the devil

I hope I make heaven

And sometimes, I don’t even think about the fact that my daddy is a driver and

my hood is ladilac

I just grind like am crazy like a maniac

To make my daddy proud and get all the things my lady lacks

So ti ye e, bose’nlo gan gan mo so fun e yen

Ole di president oh, ma jeki anybody sofun e ipe ole’di president

Oko ma je kori e pe, wa jeki orie se kini wa je kori e pe

Am sorry omo mi, omo mi, arin bi eni egbe dun

Mi o ni sugarcoat anything, tori mo fe ki nu e dun

Otito koro, sugbon otito ni major key

I know you wanna ball, you wanna flex, o den tun fe yo p

And sometimes you wanna be just like me

Exactly, maybe not too much maybe slightly

And sometimes you wanna do the things that I did

Maybe even better, maybe you wanna be greater

You must into consideration the circumstances

Where you at, who you loving who you stand with

You must be prepared for every chance you see

Every opportunity, knock dem out for me like Ali

Be a soldier, build yourself

Elevate your brothers when you elevating yourself

Go to war with your brothers and protect all your sisters

Ask your mama for her blessings let no one compete with her

So ti ye e, bose’nlo gan gan mo so fun e yen

Keep your eyes on the price future lowa lokan

I love you, my love to all the little kids out there

I pray may you days be long, your money be long

When its time to face your fears may you be strong

May you never dwell in failure when you do something wrong

May you never lack the wisdom to multiply and sustain all that you work and

pray for
