He said ” I think the lyrics were good enough to explain the whole scenario though, It is not that deep. I really don’t wanna glorify stealing though but it was just very unfortunate that it happened.

“First you go be the bad guy
Then you go be the actor
Because I wan feed my family

Came out alive omo me I thank God

You go need new gym instructor
Straight out of Benin

From India to Asia to Berlin
The thing wey bin pain me

Say my circle chekele but we go give you last card check up
Make you no hate, make you pray for the abili, abili
Ability to catch up
No calculator fit count my surplus
Ema to jó mi mo nshako
Many nights wey I no sleep, wey I no sleep
One hit I go oversea
Still many people dey laugh me
But I steady believe, one favor please
Keep my family strong for me
God I dey on my knees
Straight out of Benin

They think say the gbedu go finish
My music is traveling
From India to Asia to Berlin
The thing wey bin pain me
Be say una no wan be believe
I will never forget the time
Wey bad belle dem cast us away
Fast forward to today

Every day say na holiday
Oya day, oya dey, dey, dey, dey owey

Wey bad belle dem cast us away
Fast forward to today
