Ni Temi

(album: Ethos - 2022)

I never wanna be involved, there's too much risk involved
I'd rather just be indoors, I don't wear Christian Dior
What am I missing, I was in the streets for too long shifting jaws
Every other, night a different broad but I don't want be involved

Had to say it twice for the misinformed
Had to pay the price for a decent job
Had to pay twice for this Nike shoes, Came out twice from the ICU
Listen, I don't wanna get mixed up when social media comes for you
I don't want to fight with them feisty dudes
I just want to leave my life on cruise
How can I teach these mice to roam
All I really got is a microphone, sold half the rights that I own
Bought some pretty nice things, new ride and a home
All my guys getting high on drugs, I'm fine with the buzz
But I dine with the Lord
I'd rather lie with dogs, than die for my Dawgs
Don't get I involve

E'mi ni t'emi
Mo k'oju m'ose, n'mo bawon faja
E'mi ni t'emi
O se koko, mo ma bawon d'ebe
Mo faraye, won tun n'kalo
Mo g'bori w'ole, mo g'bara w'obe
E'mi ni t'emi
Orin l'oran mi, lo gbemi d'ebe

I never wanna be involved, there's too much risk involved
I'd rather just be indoors, I don't wear Christian Dior
What am I missing, I was in the streets for too long shifting jaws
Every other, night a different broad but I don't want be involved

I've been about it, I've been around it
I came from nothing now, the crib surround with, huh
I don't mean to dip around it but I don't want the FIRS peeps around me
Like ah...

For all of the times we had F in classes
Now we talk of these F-ing classist
Feels more like I'm in an ethnic crisis (oh Lord)
Now we put the S in S classes
Check the tactics or check semantics
Holy water flow like I met Saint Patrick
Gimme one of those, lemme bless the masses
Always on my toes, like I learnt gymnastics
Everybody froze when I lit the match sticks
All of y'all toast, no cheers, no glasses (wow)

E'mi ni t'emi
Mo k'oju m'ose, n'mo bawon faja
E'mi ni t'emi
O se koko, mo ma bawon d'ebe
Mo faraye, won tun n'kalo
Mo g'bori w'ole, mo g'bara w'obe
E'mi ni t'emi
Orin l'oran mi, lo gbemi d'ebe

I never wanna be involved, there's too much risk involved
I'd rather just be indoors, I don't wear Christian Dior
What am I missing, I was in the streets for too long shifting jaws
Every other, night a different broad but I don't want be involved
