[ Featuring Rae Slick ]
Yo
Turn my volume up mehn
Hey City Monstar what's good
Sacrifices, to be the nicest with these mic devices
It's from the heart yo
Yeah, Listen
My guy popsy kpai..him wife born the same weekend
It's like as I get older the more life deepens
Started off shallow, now we alone in the deep end
These past few months, the deaths have been more frequent
Makes me wonder if it's all worth it
Late nights and early mornings just to make it perfect
Necessities of life, yo you gotta make a purchase
Can barely afford it, so you going for that mortgage
It's real... Vacations for the kids, play stations at the crib oh
You really proud to give the address of where you live oh
Insomniac, your best friend's a sedative oh
This growing up business is really not for kids oh
I'm really tryna be a baby boy forever
Living it up with my guys while i'm getting this cheddah
Everybody for naija stay praying together
Mans gotta be prepared for the change of the weather
Cuz when it rains, it pours on the rich and the poor
We all gon end up 6feet beneath the floor
Stay alive and dodge the bull like Matadors
For now or tomorrow you decide which matters more
Every other day yo we making sacrifices
Every other day yo we tryna be the nicest
Every other day we hop up on these mic devices,
Filter through the pain, had to get my pen and write this
Every other day yo we making sacrifices
Every other day yo we tryna be the nicest
Every other day we hop up on these mic devices
Filter through the pain, had to get my pen and write this
I'm writing this 3 years after doing the first verse
My guy pikin dey waka, we recorded his first steps
A lot has happened, and in minutes you'll hear words
That defied time and space while I'm spitting this here verse
My baby brother died, my family forever mourns
God sent his angels to calm us all through the storm
Love of my life left, yes, women are scum
Now I'm in love again and I'm just hoping that she's the one
We all got baggage that we carry around
Some people own different, I'm aware of this now
Chauvinist comments I see em, I unlook
Na the day them catch thief, na him e become crook
I moved from Ikeja, this Lekki is overrated
Tap water is brown, my nigga that's just the basics
I moved from a suit and tie to something more casual
Screaming loud at the devil, say my God pass you
Felt stationary, stagnant like I'm a statue
Davinci's work had to be still, to attract you
Some say I'm keeping it real, I'm more factual
The dreams I been trying to build are now actual
Every other day yo we making sacrifices
Every other day yo we tryna be the nicest
Every other day we hop up on these mic devices
Filter through the pain, had to get my pen and write this
Every other day yo we making sacrifices
Every other day yo we tryna be the nicest
Every other day we hop up on these mic devices
Filter through the pain, had to get my pen and write this
