[intro]
You know, sometimes we are not prepared for adversity
Classic!
Open your eyes look around look around
Put ya ears to the ground
You can hear it in surround
Hol up, listen to the growls
From the belly of the beast
That's the streets saying please
Lemme eat can't you see its shutting down
Like when my president comes into town
Shutting down
Like when my president comes into town
Shutting down
Like when my preisdent comes into town
Shutting down
Like when my preisdent comes into town
Shutting down

[Verse 1: Ghost]
I'm politicking with the squad
On how to hack this systems flaws but
You don't need a Crystal ball
For you to see through this mirage
Boko haram still bombing n***as
SARS is out here robbing n***as
Ribs are touching palms are itching
Most ain't got a pot to piss in
Most alarming is the
Lack of empathy from the presidency
Cuz evidently shit hole lives don't matter
Is what their telling us G
Man look fuck this government
Sad thing is I'm numb to it
Damn shame hundred lives dead
And prayer is all they come up with
Some would say stop complaining
Just come up with a solution
If that's the case one could claim
Whats the point of appointing rulers
What's true is we have the power
Against cowardly acts of gluttony
Tired of all the fuckery
Our societies crumbling just
[Hook: Ghost]
Open your eyes look around look around
Put ya ears to the ground
You can hear it in surround
Hol up, listen to the growls
From the belly of the beast
That's the streets saying please
Lemme eat can't you see its shutting down
Like when my president comes into town
Shutting down
Like when my president comes into town
Shutting down
Like when my preisdent comes into town
Shutting down
Like when my preisdent comes into town
Shutting down

[Verse 2: Tec]
Shut it down
Shut it down boys gon shut it down
Said they wanna shack guy
We bought another round
Man like Musa in front of goal
I swear I’m popping now
I'm switching topics
Like a prophet seeking profit now
Shout out to Larry D
Promised Cobain we make it
If Lagos taught me one thing
I swear it taught me patience
We’ve been chasing greatness
Even when they weren’t relating
Saw my peers speed by
Like see how long its taking
I asked God what's the hold up
Like "what's happening chappie?"
He said be careful what you wish for
Fame won't make you happy
Since palm-wine a couple
Nasty pies have tried to trap me
Another rapper picked a bottle up
And tried to attack me
I just laugh I feel the fact they trying to catch me
Means I’m gaining speed
Lately we been calling bigger numbers
Man its plain to see
Same OG's, Ghost and tec
Same old team and we winning all around
So nothing left to do but shut it down
[Hook: Ghost]
Like when my president comes into town
Shutting down
Like when my president comes into town
Shutting down
Like when my preisdent comes into town
Shutting down
Like when my preisdent comes into town
Shutting down
Open your eyes look around look around
Put ya ears to the ground

Hol up, listen to the growls
From the belly of the beast
