Somebody lied, they tell me say the road to success man was easy and smooth man
|
Somebody lied, they tell me say everybody for Lagos de chop good food man
|
Somebody lied, they tell me say its all good
|
Now I realize say somebody lied
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
No be everything wey de glitter be gold
|
They made it sound cool when the story was told
|
Once upon a time, I was chilling in my street
|
Then I got a call and they tell me say Lagos is the shit
|
Walked out of school, said I must go there
|
If na trek them de trek, me I no care
|
Some people sit me down, but me I no care
|
Shey na Lagos them de blow, I go end there
|
I took the night bus, cause me I had hope
|
And back home I was sad me and my dad broke
|
If na hunger we go fight, I go try cope
|
Me I go wash them eye till them go cry soap
|
|
Yeah, omo Lagos is calling
|
I hear say them get money, omo no dulling
|
Even if na mami water de, I go fall in
|
Cause where me I de, delay is not something
|
|

|
Somebody lied, they tell me say since '99 light go plenty
|
Somebody lied, they tell me say my people belle them no go empty
|
Somebody lied, them tell me say its all good, now I realise say somebody lied
|
Somebody lied o, somebody lied
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
They me '99 that everything go nice
|
The cake is very big and omo you can have a bite
|
You put me in the office and the I'll do you right
|
Omo you won't have to rhyme everyday and night
|
And so we vote them
|
Them no promote us
|
We no de facebook
|
But them de poke us
|
We try to hang in there
|
But them de choke us
|
Them de build house for sky
|
And we de live for low cost
|
Everyday for news there's nothing new
|
Oil rig stations still we just de queue
|
They say we get money but man its just a few
|
Omo boys still de feed on rice with no stew
|
And after school sef, omo na house work
|
And you go go six feet if your mouth talk
|
Up till now some people still de sleep for outdoor
|
You know the rest I don't need to talk them some more
|
|
[Bridge]
|
Somebody lied, they tell me say you no go blow if you no be Yoruba man
|
Somebody lied, they tell me say you come from Jos and you no go go far man
|
Somebody lied, they tell me say my guy you no fit compete man
|
Somebody lied oh
|
Somebody lied
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
Are you from J-Town, omo forget rap
|
You ain't got a chance out there with your dead crap
|
You don't even dress fly to begin with
|
You far from the best you ain't gon start with your English
|
You say you spit well
|
Oh please nigga
|
In Lagos you can't compete with the gees nigga
|
Your bank account's gotta have a lot of six figures
|
And when you're out there you gon be a diss figure
|
I ain't trying to diss you, its only true saying
|
This no be mouth wash, I no be toothpaste
|
You can't fly there's no gucci in your suitcase
|
You wan stay Lagos, omo in whose place
|
Celebrity ko, celebrity ni
|
You wey no fit pay your electricity fee
|
Better go school before you go become tout
|
Cause guy you no go blow even with bomb for your dumb mouth
|
|
Somebody lied [x3]
