[Intro: DJ Jimmy Jatt & Femi Kuti]

M.anifest
Navio
And of course we've got Modenine on this one
[Verse 1: M.anifest]
Been pulling strings like a puppet master
They told me "Slow down", I said "Nah, I'm going faster"
From here on after, all wahala dey go Casper
You can get the first word, I'll have the last laughter
Charle (amazing)
I'm blazing new trails, setting new sails
I'm not for sale, but for real, I'll be Gareth Bale
My ideas like gym freaks, always working out
I know even in my vain peak, I′m only flirting out
I no go lie you, I want to be the greatest
'Cause of that I'm always buzzin', Lagos generators
Do me a favour, do me no favours
On the throne of rapper homes, I have no neighbours
Nah, these devils not on my levels
They level allegations, the pot calling the kettle
Give me standing ovation, on second thought, I don't need it
If you're not about action, then Michael Jackson, Beat It
Dem no go fit to don my socks and tracks
Got a virgin attitude, it hasn't given a fuck
While the blunt is blunt, I have reason to stop
M dada door to door and Jimmy Jatt get props, so comot
[Chorus: M.anifest with Femi Kuti's sax]
I want to be the greatest
I want to be the greatest
Charle in the whole wide world
Nothing fit to shake us, we go be the greatest
Charle in the whole wide world
I want to be the greatest
I want to be the greatest
Charle in the whole wide world
Nothing fit to shake us, we go be the greatest
Charle in the whole wide world
Charle in the whole wide world
Charle in the whole wide world
[Verse 2: Navio]
Uh huh
Africa
Okay
Yeah
Got my brother on that island, Mama on that anchorage
Investing in my family, why do business with haters?
Daughter act like her father, her future high maintenance
My son could be a doctor, but he ain't got the patients yet
'Cause I ain't got patience, I get payments right
You watch TV wondering where your day went, right?
Used to play dude out on the pavement
Used to hate school, but now I made it
On the spot agreements with Kenan Forbes
A higher coupe but now I'm thinking to Forbes list
Updated, I upgraded the stores
So executives better up your office
I got your whole year's budget up in the office
So if its Bible or bank, we profit
No need to beef often
Do the competition need coffins
Africa keep soaring
[Chorus: M.anifest with Femi Kuti's sax]
I want to be the greatest
I want to be the greatest
Charle in the whole wide world
Nothing fit to shake us, we go be the greatest
Charle in the whole wide world
I want to be the greatest
I want to be the greatest
Charle in the whole wide world
Nothing fit to shake us, we go be the greatest
Charle in the whole wide world
Charle in the whole wide world
Charle in the whole wide world
[Interlude: DJ Jimmy Jatt]
It's Cool DJ Jimmy Jatt
I′m black, I′m beautiful
And you're welcome to the new world, it's Africa
Ha
Hey!
[Verse 3: Modenine, with Femi Kuti's sax]
Wild wild west African, the sheriff of the jungle
Trotting into town on a white bronco
Don flow, Shawn Stagliano going gonzo
I walk the walk and overtake 'em 'cause they run slow
Your girl's game, I call her Xbox console
Tap her with the down, down, X, up combo
My love muscle ticking her tonsils, shining her Kongo
Bad man creaming on a corn row
She don know
Man can be British like the long bow
But I'm Naija to the core, born like the legend of Sango
Cold world so I rock a wooly poncho
Rolling with the boss, Jimmy Jatt, the head honcho
Black Ghengis, state of mind of a mongol
Dipped with chicks who can body double for Marilyn Monroe
You're balling like Rajon Rondo
You're wrong, bro
Don't call it that till you're stacking on that LeBron doe
[Chorus: Kids, with Femi Kuti's sax]
I want to be the greatest
I want to be the greatest
In the whole wide world
Nothing fit to shake us, we go be the greatest
In the whole wide world
I want to be the greatest
I want to be the greatest
In the whole wide world
Nothing fit to shake us, we go be the greatest
In the whole wide world
In the whole wide world
In the whole wide world
