Lyrics

Warlords

[Intro: Rhatti]

(Ri-Ri, Ridimakulayo)

I'm in chains, I'm in chains

Looking like a prisoner

I feed my fears to the dogs

Nothing else can pull me down

No pain, no gain for me (For me, for me)

I just wanna be me (I just wanna be free)

[Verse 1: Olamide]

Yeah

My heart and my soul, they keep runnin'

My brain and my thought is all money

I'm up and I grind while they yawnin'

Night or in the mornin', the fire will keep burnin'

Yo, heaven closin' up on me

Squeezin' in with leads so sharpened

Like the edge of the Samurai sword

I'm trapped in between

Yeah, I was shooting for the moon

Caught the glimpse of the sun that got my eyes bleedin'

Woah, but this can't be blood 'cause of the way it hurts

Oh my fuckin' God

Yeah, shit feels like piercin'

Through my eyeballs and my lids

Like fragrance of broken glasses

This shit got me craving for peace

[Verse 2: Phyno]

Nah

Turn on the switch

Pitch nne le du go flip o the script

Open up my voice ka anyi hit e the pitch, nwa

Hustle hard and take a broke nigga's bitch

No joy, men nwelu no joy

Grew up in the trenches where we play with AKs, no toy

Mama said, 'lose everything, but never lose you focus'

Ma mu na gi enwero nu oru akpo na mu your homeboy

Life happens and o mi ya on adi ka film

I've been tagged a loser, but it's my choice to win

Ife diri mu na chi'm abia kwa na in between

Knew that I be bossing ozugbo ozugbo'm hit e the scene

I started from the low low

N'gba fe enwero logo

Kito ti cha ka magic, I'm cashing out ka o lotto

Your crush inna my motor

See ocho ise mu photo

Ife ocholo bu do do

And I know you so, know so

[Verse 3: Cheque]

‘Ay, ‘ay, ‘ay, this is natural

I don't force see many natural

Why everybody acting like they own the world?

I don't need nobody, homie, I'm the one

Eh, eh, I go back to back

They got guns, I got money in my arsenal

Boy, Cheque make money for a living now

I don't let nobody ever bring me down (Cheque)

I see niggas opposing me

And when the camera comes, they still posin' in

Oh, that shawty only love me when the money in

I just pray my friends are not friends with my enemies

They don't give me but I take it

Oh, they don't give me but I take it

I see the reason why everybody hatin'

Jesus got enemies, I got the same shit, yeah

[Verse 4: Nuno Zigi]

Yeah, yeah

Woke up this morning feeling like 'fuck the world'

My mama called to tell me she miss me like that last song

Who would have thought that that boy'd be in military school?

Oju na ana anachigha bu onye ana ayozi when you coming home

I believe in honesty

Bitch slap a nigga if he ever lie to me

I think I turned out to be everything this motherfucker said I wouldn't be

Shagari Alhaji na achuzi mu efi, hee, hee

Nowadays, the slightest things ima na ewe mu ezigbo iwe

Slide a knife inna the cake and I go chook am for your face

I think I'll always stay in office 'cause I'm too legit to quick

I'm too legit to quick

I'm the best and still ready to be

Theoretically, all these niggas still babies to me

Hand stretched out like there's something I'm trying to reach

There's something my jeans, the po-po trynna get me

Some confidential shit

That's why I keep it in the music like

[Outro: Cheque]

They don't give me but I take it

Oh, they don't give me but I take it

I see the reason why everybody hating

Jesus got enemies I got the same shit, yeah
