Black Sherif – SWAGGA Lyrics
Verse 1
Come on now
It’s common now we face the worlds and brought it down
And now the scene is flooded with lordly swagga (swagga)
It made me smile (swagga)
About the flowers I made a vow to never chase or race ’em down
Cause what’s the point oh come on bruddah
We be the geniuses
Please, please I’m serious
Not available, I’m busy
M’atamfo plottings I beat it (Beat It)
Metaphors I be using for me writings trying to describe how I be feeling
They only hear
It’s a few of them who listen
Chorus
Ebei
Ebei
Ebei
What’s gonna be
Is gonna be
Yen nso yes hange between the lines
Omo se boys yiii
Omo se boys yiii (Swagga)
What’s gonna be
Is gonna be
Verse 2
A prophecy unfolding
A closet full of self-belief
Built upon the self doubts of early days
I found my portion
Earlier than promised
Closest that I’ve been to a psychosis,
Lost in the abyss to up the dopamine
Of course, I’m gonna deliver
I’m supposed to radicalized beliefs, am I supporting
Do you want me opposing?
I put together my notions
But who’s worth the answer I’ve been waiting
baby grown pockets soul markets hoes flooding coastal
A beach party where I’m residing,
And as I’m talking now I’m being plotted against for being something
We’re crabs in these buckets but
Someday, someday, someday
Someday, someday, someday
Someday, someday, someday
Someday, someday, someday
Chorus
Ebei Ebei Ebei
What is gonna be
Is gonna be
Yen nso yee hange between the lines
Omo se boys yiii
Omo se boys yiii (swagga)
What is gonna be
Is gonna be
Verse 3
I won’t hold you
The cash, we’ve made a lot
But truth, I rather let the paper talk
Don’t go mistaking all the clout aa mo chasing, no
Cause nobody’s checking y’all
I might one of these days, you know
But then I look at what’s at stake for y’all
Them I skate on y’all
Then I skrrt on y’all nigga
All day long in my sofa with my charger
Phone no so a m’atweet all that aya feel
Prophesied before I saw that all my dreams will come on home
Is it enough?
What I have achieved
Is it the dollarsor the applauds?
Or the machine I am becoming
OHH WEH
OH!
