Since ’99, I don dey grind, Since ’99
Since ’99, my eyes don shine, Since ’99
I no dey loose guard, I don dey grind since ’99
Money I dey findLook at mi eye, see Apollo
Any small money, I put for kolo
If you no go, you no go know
I no get kobo to give olosho
When no motor, enter danfo
Enter trailer, enter marcopolo
I for say na ojoro, if I no blow
If no be God, I for no show

Somebody call Ini Edo, Dike Tonto
The money don long, the money choke
Anadomido, anywhere me go
If no be God, I for no blow

Oya check and balance am
Shey you see my Balenciaga
I no be old school, I no be alanta
I dey reminiscing alaga, I don tire for the matter
Dem say one day e go better
State and capital, koda
Abia down to Umuahia

I getti stamina, na na (na na)
I enter the place dem dey japa (japa)
Why you dey run from me baba? (Baba)
Shey you see ojuju Calabar
Since ’97, me, I’ve been shining my eye (my eye)

State and capital, koda
Abia down to Umuahia
