[Intro]
Go!
[Verse 1: Tiwa Savage]
My heart is beating
'Cause they looking for me
And I can hear them screaming
Yeah, yeah
And I admit I was there
But it ain’t mean you should fear
'Cause when he started to beg
I left him there
[Pre-Chorus: Tiwa Savage]
It was like a gun on my head (Oh)
Killing him slow while I'm shake shaking it (Oh)
I didn’t wanna do it 'cause I know
Out in the street, they call it murder!
[Chorus: Tiwa Savage]
Hmmm
By the way, nothing you can do
Said by the way, nothing you fit do
'Cause by the way, I-I’m better than you
That’s why I'm wanted, that’s why I’m wanted
Hmmm
By the way, nothing you fit do
I said by the way, nothing you fit do
'Cause by the way, I-I’m better than you
That’s why I’m wanted, that's why I'm wanted
That’s why you wanted
[Verse 2: Tiwa Savage]
You got my number, call me
Make I yarn you something
And if you ready for it
He fell real quick
[Pre-Chorus: Tiwa Savage]
It was like a gun on my head (Oh)
Killing him slow while I'm shake shaking it (Oh)
I didn’t wanna do it 'cause I know
Out in the street, they call it murder!
[Chorus: Tiwa Savage]
Hmmm
By the way, nothing you can do
Said by the way, nothing you fit do
'Cause by the way, I-I’m better than you
That’s why I'm wanted, that’s why I’m wanted
Hmmm
By the way, nothing you fit do
I said by the way, nothing you fit do
'Cause by the way, I-I’m better than you
That’s why I’m wanted, that's why I'm wanted
That’s why you wanted
[Break]
Oh oh oh
Oh ooh ooh oh oh

So now I’m wanted by you (That's why I’m wanted)
And now he wants me too (That’s why I’m wanted)
