[intro]
Ooooh
[hook]
When I was in
When I was in
When I was
When I was
When I was in Lagos
Yeah
Yeah yeah
[verse 1]
When I was in Lagos
Mama taught me good behavior
I ain't wanna pay attention
Should have listened, she my savior
She paid so much damn commission
Imma pay you ten times later
Even when you feel the pressure
Ain't nobody do no favors
Yeah
Now I see colors no monochrome
Now I see what's really going on
They robbin' us clean they takin' our money
They goin' home
We lining our pockets, your dad probably guilty
You spending strong
Now what's really going on
I wanna know my nigga what's going on
Buhari crack down on these niggas
There's no more misplacin' the figures
Accounts with a buttload of digits
In Gidi all about the digits
In Gidi all about appearences
Yeah we care who your parents is
All they Davids get inherited
Pull up in big body range rover, made
Nowadays they like potholes on streets
Nowadays I been munchin' these beats
57 table, yeah you the shit
Do it every weekend? Yeah you legit
What you know about lasgidi grindin'
What you know about lasgidi timin'
What you know about lasgidi road
I've been on this road way too many times before
[hook]
When I was in
When I was in
When I was in
When I was in, I was in
I was in Lagos
[verse 2]
Mama taught me good behavior
That media degrade us
The media really try grade us
Yeah
When I was in Lagos
Mama told me know your future
Mama told me never forget your roots, it's the only thing we given to ya
Yeah
[outro]
Mama told me good behavior
Mama told me know your future
Mama told me never give up
Never give up
Mama told me good behavior
