Igba Iponju

(album: Y.A.G.I (Young and Getting It) - 2016)

To those that can relate to this
Shey you know that time abi?
That time when frustration catch you
You be like what am I supposed to do?
You be like where am I supposed to go to?
Things ain't working out yet
But my brother, just call on God

Igba, iponju de o
Mo ke, si baba loke
O ni, ma beru, ma foya
I dey

When things were looking blurry
Then I told my mummy
My sky is not yet sunny
Just keep on praying for me
She said "just keep on believing"
Omo mi wa de'be o
Let them keep on hating
Isu e ma to de'le o
So one two three me I buckle up my shoe
Hoping one day that my miracle will come
All those people that were calling me a fool
Now dem see me dem a calling me a...
Gone are those days ti n ma rin kakiri, kakiri
Emi na ti fresh, o sha ti ri, sha ti ri
To ba ti ri'ya a, ba mi ki, ba mi ki
And I pray ko'ju mi maa ri'bi, maa ri'bi

Igba, iponju de o
Mo ke, si baba loke
O ni, ma beru, ma foya
I dey

Then I was a nobody, nobody
I dey find help but there was nobody, nobody
There was no money so there's no balling, no balling
Like Kanu Nwankwo I was determined ah
No dulling, no dulling
Won ni Kesh farabale wo, kilode ta'ra e o se ki ba'le bai?
I no get time to waste, ejo nah why me I still dey hustle die
Then it wasn't easy, afiza can testify
Be sango olukoso, I swear I can taste the fire ah
Now that you are listening, I can not repète myself
I mean I am too big for you, I can not kekere myself
I am a king, I am the thing, I am the one they want to see
Young and getting it, lil Kesh, shey bo ba shey wun e
If I tell you what I've been through, oloun ko le ye e
That time I was frustrated, to ba sun mo mi, maa le e
And now that I'm looking back, I give God all the glory
In case if you don't know my brother this is my story

Igba, iponju de o
Mo ke, si baba loke
O ni, ma beru, ma foya
I dey

Igba iponju de ba mi
Mo wo'lugbala
Ta lo'lugbala
Nibo ni ma ti ro'lugbala
O ni ma beru
O ni ma foya
You know I dey here
Omo mi, you know I dey here
