Borehole mepe mje chute mmịlị na-ịme gallon

Verse 2
Mmanụ na ọkụ dị m na-ịsị ka ụbọsị pentecost
Mount your guard, shine your eye, this world is dangerous
Amụm anya na-file mgbe update bu benefit
That bobo na-banter m online nọzi na orthopedic
Paa cool, paa cool, my reign ga adịkwa timeless
My turn It′s a long ride, put on seatbelt
Since mbata in the game enwelọm worthy opponent
Abum idolo to your idolo, abum now and next
Forever taker, I’m permanent like the pyramid (pyramid)
I′m a cash addict, picking slips is my bad habit (bad habit)
Number 1 in the list catalyst, I no fit be the least (iyoo)
The way msi atụ bomb ịga eche na-abum a terrorist
To survive in the hood you need a kappa and data (power)
Udi bread mna achọ abụlọkwa nke ejị ata bama (ego)
Jukwaese na Okija, alusi adịlọ ede love letter (eeh)
Before Fifa ps5, men gbalụ sega
Ọmụwa gbalụ agba ọmụwa cheleche, Iyoo did it all
Ọmụwa ka isi na-awa, fa wa ana anwụ paracetamol
Film mga agbanyelị gị adịlọ dstv channel
Onye ị kpọ nwanne ga emekwa gị ịfe Cain melụ Abel
Chorus
Great

I was born to be rich
Mma kwụsị till mbute the akpa
