Hah hah

Hah, hah, sexy ladies

Hah, hah, baby no dey go anywhere
Make you dance your own, no look Uche face
Hah, baby I do my own

Everyday they see mo n bolaji
Kind of people to n folarin
Ask them they know mo folahan

Ooh baby
Tell them haters say not to worry
'Cause I'm here to stay
No wahala, I'm here to stay
I tell you now I ain’t going nowhere
See them running their mouth like WC
While I'm singing around making my money
You're funny acting so funny
You only pretend to spend my money
Running mouth like WC
While I'm singing around making my money
You only pretend to spend my money
