Verse 1 (Ko-Jo Cue)
Me den poverty shaun dey talk
I block ein number wey e stop dey call
So now blog dey fall, lady cash oh I'm so in love
Crushing on the dollar, pounds de3 I chop before
Boss we bore, We taya dey play nice
We be fire if you hire, we want to be paid right
Full vim, no fear for show, no stage-fright
Y'ate free, no fear for road, no brake lights
Mood on Ice Cube, Move like diabetes type 2

Verse 2 (Tec of Show Dem Camp)
They say na fire flow
Everywhere I show that messiah flow
Ready for the throne
Let them know that it's I alone
Anyone them call make them know say we higher bro
Alte kids how many we inspire though?
Old Gees still nod their head like it's hamato
Bang bang, still been the slang they aspire to
Artist use to feel say na chop alone die alone
But we brought that whole camp omo that's the vibe we on
Kanako, chilling out in Lagos with my Ghana folks
Loud pack omo these longs no dey taya bro
Show dem has been about persistence and desire bro
Made it through the fire it was never about tryna blow
Champion no easy all the training no for hard bro
They come with full vex, me ajus dey spar jo
And if the money no be motive don't be dialing
Cos the only thing you'll hear back is silence

Verse 3 (Ghost of Show Dem Camp)
Shining, like we fine diamonds no Juls on em
Still drops gems when he starts rhyming his mood sort of
Have a feel of divine guidance
Built it from the ground up now the teams iconic, true story
See round here boys aren't smiling
If you selling that fake shit chale we not buying
On that graveshift no day that we not grinding
On the Jacob's ladder to success can't stop climbing, make moves on em
You know it's hot cos Juls on em
You were one of the first cats who didn't snooze on em
I just thought facts I got nothing to prove from me
I paid my dues now it's time to recoup from it
Rap prodigy but I never been a shook one
Fish outta water baba I'm off the hook son
If we talking Ls I admit I took some
So these days your boy gets it straight off the books cos
