The city that never sleeps
That’s where I come from
That’s where we both come from
There’s a common saying that “you no come count bridge for Lagos
You can’t be jonzing in Lagos
Exactly
Everybody eye dey red
Even that your guy no really send
Coz last last in the end
Omo man gats do wetin een gas do to survive
Every thing is against you from birth
From the corrupt government
To the broken institutions
To the criminals disguised as law enforcers
To growing up in a ghetto where young stars
Are killed or doing the killing everyday
Because of a common peer pressure to commit crime
and obsession with numbers, lust, pussy and power
You have very slim options to make it out of here
1. Go to school
2. Do yahoo
3. Join a cult
4. Get a gun
5. Omo just kuku go and meet God
Coz It’s a dog eat dog situation out here for real
A race to the Top of the food chain
And no body wants to carry last
I tie money to my chest like armed robber
And you know Top Boy$ here to cause a lot of damage on the go
So if all these odds are against us
As proper Top Boy$ from Lagos
We’ll shoot our shots and pray to God to save us
