I start 2 dey think like man
But if dey no kill p-man
Let me take u back time
Wetin really ginger d grind
Omo na 1999
T'arm robber fepa daddy mi o
I start 2 dey think like man
But if dey no kill p-man
Omo na 1999
T'arm robber f'epa daddy mi o
Ma lowo ma kole
Ma kole ma rale
Ojo kan lo tan si ojo kan lo bere
I hustle my music mo sa d'alapere
The hustle dey pay nw e k'aje ku kale
My papa dey hustle my papa dey try
My papa na driver my papa dey grind
My papa dey send all him pikin go skul
My papa no mind ko mu garri ko sun
My papa dey help as in money no reach
Sum pple 4 street dem go say he too rich
I no knw wetin my papa wnt me be
Until d day dat I almost lost d g
Dem break door
Dem carry gun
Me nd my siblings were very young
Oh my God
Dem shoot my dad
But he survive
Thank lord o
Let me take u back time
Wetin really ginger d grind
Omo na 1999
T'arm robber fepa daddy mi o
I start 2 dey think like man
But if dey no kill p-man
Omo na 1999
T'arm robber f'epa daddy mi o
O di dandan mo ma l'aluyo

Let me take u back time
Wetin really ginger d grind
Omo na 1999
T'arm robber fepa daddy mi o
I start 2 dey think like man
But if dey no kill p-man
Omo na 1999
T'arm robber f'epa daddy mi o
I see people dey sympathize
I was traumatized
Na den I realize
Its time to organize myself
