Zlatan – Pay Day Lyrics
I still dey hot I don go far
I still dey run kilometers
I getti bread with plenty butter
Dem pour for my head holy water
Ten toes down me I get stamina
Na me dey hot check the thermometer
I’m so far gone and there’s no turning back
Iro lẹpa! Irọ lo pa!
Everyday don turn payday
Everyday don be payday
Everyday don turn payday
Everyday don be payday
I pray make too much money no ṣe mi leṣe
I deserve number 10 jersey coz I dey ball like Jay Jay
Everyday don be payday
Remember when things been rough
So many things don sup
That be why I too carry my cross
Make katakata no carry me lost
They use me laugh I talk say God dey
Hustle nonstop Monday to Sunday
I no be quitter stop the rough play
Until the pepper rest for blockchain
Wọn pada sare wa!
They once talked shit about me (Bout me)
But them no know the story o (Story o)
Many people see me balling (Balling)
Them no fit hide plenty money o (Money o)

Get the vibe from the Canada to America oh
Everyday don turn payday
Everyday don be payday
Everyday don turn payday
Everyday don be payday
I pray make too much money no ṣe mi leṣe
I deserve number 10 jersey coz I dey ball like Jay Jay
Everyday don be payday
They once talked shit about me (Bout me)
But them no know the story o (Story o)
Many people see me balling (Balling)
Them no fit hide plenty money o (Money o)
Free me tonight I wan shamayan
In my head dey shine likee avatar
Get the vibe from the Canada to America oh
