Jidenna how many times did I call you[00:00:07]
You are a stubborn bull just like your father[00:00:10]
I don't understand you[00:00:14]
Your auntie and I warned you not to come during election season[00:00:16]
But you would not listen[00:00:21]
Where is my my palm wine[00:00:23]
You know I like to drink palm wine yes[00:00:25]
So all I'm saying is Jidenna look[00:00:32]
The cow that is in the hurry to go to America will come back here[00:00:38]
As corned beef[00:00:42]
Do you understand[00:00:44]
Shine your eye[00:00:45]
Although we are brothers your uncle you know magnus[00:00:47]
Will be the one to make the first move on your life[00:00:51]
As for the security guards they were your father's best men[00:00:55]
They are now yours[00:00:59]
Keep them close to you at all times[00:01:01]
But remember[00:01:03]
When you are in the village you are with your family[00:01:06]
But your family may not be with you[00:01:10]
Savage are the man and his band of thieves[00:01:15]
So heavy is the head of he that wears the ring[00:01:17]
But a lion don't ever lose sleep when it come to sheep[00:01:20]
And just like wolves on the prowl to eat[00:01:25]
They act in wool but they speak in peace[00:01:27]
But I can't hide nor run from the ones who'll come for me[00:01:30]
Tell 'em come for me[00:01:35]
Bald head red kufi and shades[00:01:36]
Lookin' like I got oil money and slaves[00:01:38]
I'm on the way to put my poppa in his grave[00:01:41]
In a disguise riding in a motorcade[00:01:44]
And I've come to bury him in the jungle[00:01:46]
It's where we were from so a nigga stayed humble[00:01:49]
Now don't fumble don't stumble don't trip[00:01:52]
Kidnappers could snatch and ambush your kids[00:01:54]
I'm on the low I ain't tryna be a martyr[00:01:56]
It don't help I stand out like a foreigner[00:01:59]
Nah I ain't a balla[00:02:02]
But armed robbers think I'm made of top dollars[00:02:03]
I made a promise[00:02:06]
When I was six and guerillas ran up on us[00:02:07]
Taking my sis beating the shit out of my mama[00:02:10]
Shot me in the foot put a bullet through my armor[00:02:12]
I'm a kill 'em when I see 'em again[00:02:15]
So the prince got knights in all black hanging out the side doors[00:02:17]
Aks on they back shining like swords[00:02:20]
Pops would say once you're bitten by a snake[00:02:23]
The paranoia make you pop a lizard in the face[00:02:25]
The village hear the guns firing[00:02:49]
A salute and a siren chief's arriving[00:02:51]
I walk by the choir and drummers vibin'[00:02:53]
The parade so alive you wouldn't think someone died[00:02:56]
They shoutin' our chief is with us[00:02:59]
Strangers claim they my cause[00:03:02]
They plottin' to take all my land[00:03:05]
They must forgot who the f**k dat I am[00:03:07]
I greet my uncles with a case of gifts[00:03:10]
From the thrift they treat it like saks fifth[00:03:12]
He greet me with a dish[00:03:14]
I've weighed the risk[00:03:16]
Paid the cater to switch plates in case it's a hit[00:03:17]
These muh'f**kas wanna poison my soup[00:03:20]
I wish I could trust 'em like the boys in blue but uh[00:03:22]
In the villa never eat what they give ya[00:03:25]
You're with your fam but your fam may not be with ya[00:03:27]
They lower him in the ground[00:03:52]
I shovel dirt on the mound[00:03:54]
Darkness falling I can't stick around[00:03:56]
No time to grieve one hour the flight leaves[00:03:59]
I feel thieves and witches within the trees[00:04:01]
Hop in a jeep and on dirt road we speed[00:04:04]
Someone chasing us hummers chasing us[00:04:06]
A runaway train I ain't taking no breaks in this[00:04:09]
Ride muthaf**ka don't take it slow ride mutha[00:04:12]
Ride muthaf**ka don't take it slow ride mutha[00:04:14]
Ride muthaf**ka don't take it slow ride mutha[00:04:17]
Ride muthaf**ka don't take it slow ride mutha[00:04:19]
