[Intro]
Ah.. ah ah ahha ahah
Yeah i like this
EL
You know
My mic sounds nice
Let's go (yeah)
Okay, charley
[Verse]
Make them who get ears then make them hear
Make you chill up relax charley get yourself a beer
Make i talk am plain-plain you nor for read between the lines
You dey like you no dey like me charley i go free my mind
First of all, nowhere cool for this industry we dey
Everybody get en hustle in one or the other way
Only hard work dey reward we all we dey celebrate
We all feel the weather and get wet up on a rainy day
And it's a shame
The way people think say everybody cool plus everybody
Dude, this game is a very bloody pool
Competition ayɛ tight for the kids to idolize
But all be experience, ama me vision ayɛ bright
Every song i drop, i pray to the Lord, let it be heard
This is not a diss record let me be perfectly clear
This pidgin sef i dey rap GMA go come i go dii last
Like if i fit talk for ...... then everybody go fi barb
Every day underground cats they come around studio begging
For answers to their questions
Or for showers and blessings
Here's a lesson
When i was small was hip hop i was repping
But then i had to sell out
Before i started selling
Cos your talent nor be nothing, chale talent no be shih
You dey house dey hold your d*ck dey think say you suppose to hit
Spend your whole day with some bogus niqqas drinking smoking spliffs
Make i give you a couple tips
Get a pen note this shih
First of all - Get a style wey nobody see before
Be original, head to toe to the flow, be the boss
Set your own trends, do something make everybody come
Know say originality e no be choice e be your job
Number 2 - Have a crew wey them go fit die for you
Somebody wey he fit help you see what be lie-what be true
Know for long have your back forever and the vibe be cool
For be your loyal type of dude who go fit help you plan your moves
Number 3 - Don't overspeed
You for plan every step
It's okay to make mistakes but you for learn from your regrets
You go hit for just a couple seasons if you move too fast but you for move steady with your team if you want to last
Number 4 - They say money be the root of all evil
But in the music biz money be the route to more people
If you shaa sef money go make you look and sound legit and..
That be the reason talent eno dey the competition
Number 5 - Stay humble
Know the people you for rush
When the money dey appear, you for know the people you for sort
Make you pet and show love to everybody you go cross
Some go hate and some go love you my paddy, eno be force
Number 6 - Understand, you nor be normal, you be brand
The way you talk-your slangs
The way you post your pics for Instagram
The way you walk-your swag-your shada
Know the places you for come
For the brand demands
Chale all dey influence your fans
Number 7 - Composition
The word be competition
People act like they are friends but they're currently on a mission
Make you no slack never hold back
You for know where thema throats are
Kill or be killed.. better know that they are no match for your vocabs
Number 8 - You for know
Seasons come and seasons go
Your rap career never be konk.. it gets warm and it gets cold
Sometimes you for just relax make somebody get the shine
Make them miss your ass a little then you come back redefined
Number 9 - Okay fine, we all we get wana mind
But one reason why we're stars is cos we all wanna shine
So we grind for the money cars cribs and fancy rides
For the future, we be blind
Save some money on the side
Number 10 - Baba God wey He give this to me
So eno be lie when i say nobody's realer than E.L
We can agree if you repping BBnZ
Because your favourite rapper just a pair of silicon Ds
And that's a list of principles wey them no go teach you in school
If you pay attention and apply these rules, you'll be cool
Big ups to my fellow artist when you see me, don't be shy
Make you hala you go see say E.L I be coolest guy
Big ups to radio TV internet and press support
Big ups to the groupies who want chop me and my fans of course
Most of all, big ups to the haters charley i dey pan
Keep on hating, God dey watch you through a pair of fresh Ray Bans
