[Verse 1]
You dey look for love, instead of money (4PLAY)
Every day na story, story o

Make I no go get rich at the wrong time na
They say God's time is the best time na

When I was outside in the morning (Sheesh)
You weren't phoning me back then (Nah)
Now the money coming in abundance
Please, don't act like you know me

And you never fuckеd with the old me
All we really wanted was a Rollie
Why feds wanna lock up my broski? (Free all my brodies)
