Pains

[Intro]
Blaq Boi Banks

[Verse 1]
See, abịaa m ị-drag place, I just wanna see my worth multiplied
He asked me, "Who's the best", I don't struggle to reply
God forbid I go to club just to pop bottle to impress
My men are on the street and half of them are depressed.
2015, O-2 Nonny took me out on the street
If I leave my money behind, I'll put hustle on repeat
And industry bụ jonsing, gat to put your circle tight
People only come around when you’re about to hit the light

[Verse 2]
2016, all I had was my dream and my guts
With hope that one day the dream will bring me an award
But, mummy is in the yard, she knows how to make breakfast
So I have to put in work, so me and my dream can break fast
They say education is the key to success, e-change-e padlock
Education is the key to success, but not the laptop
I packed my bags, went to HK to work with my gees.
Every night men are working, I'm using MB to download beats
'Cause na person wey wear shoe na him know where e dey pain am

[Verse 3]
I am the person who trusts others, the person who fails me
As in the story long, story longer than a trailer
And life dịka movie but nobody showed us thriller
From one police case to another, life on its own dị crazy
But my mum nesịị m anya sị m, "My son, I know you're born ready"
'Cause the community I come from, hope is gone, I have a penny
But we put in work with hope na one day this hustle go pay me

[PreChorus]
When I was coming up
All this people dey no gree to show me love
Now I step into your city and I fuck shit up
I just wanna be the new problem
When I was coming up
M yọba Olisa, tell Am make Him show me love
'Cause my community is where I come from, I have joy
Oh well, now I'm the new problem.

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey

[Verse 4]
2020, m graduate from school
Bulu akpa nata yard, at first when I came it was cool
But after three months, nwoke a-turn-ụgo to liability
'Cause I've got enough money for food, let alone electricity
I called my rap guy and said, "Brother, how are you?"
"Even if it's just for a little while, I'll come and take care of your crib."
He told me that he had money, as long as we go put in work.
In the evening we record an EP, and in the evening we go bomb

[Verse 5]
On a faithful day, Arise na Bond asị m make we link up
I come to Shoprite, we watch a movie and then we drink up
Ọ sị m, "How your music dey go? How you dey keep up?"
I told him that money is not enough, my brother, and he said to me, "Is that all?"
After some time he said we were boarding a flight to Lagos.
Nezienu Obiga's son is boarding a flight to Lagos.
Jehovah was with Isaac, and now he was with Jacob
As long as dice still dey roll, all of us go still ball

[PreChorus]
When I was coming up
All this people dey no gree to show me love
Now I step into your city and I fuck shit up
I just wanna be the new problem
When I was coming up
M yọba Olisa, tell Am make Him show me love
'Cause my community is where I come from, I have joy
Oh well, now I'm the new problem.

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
