Wait 'til it unfolds, unfolds glory for me
Feels like an old soul, with some new melodies
[Verse]
You know say na studio I dey
In a way I dey find solace, I'm in a race
Many people dey my lane, them no fit to tie my shoe lace
Maximum pace
I no fit hate on a man if he didn't do nothing to me
I'm finding my way, if they try coming for me
Pandemonium e go dey, hmm
You see this life, I wan chop this life
In these trying times, I just wan survive
What's rеally mine, what's really mine (Ma f'ikàn wе kàn)
Make e no pass me by, make e no pass me by
You see this life, I gats chop this life
In these trying times, I just wan survive
What's really mine, what's really mine
It won't pass me by, it won't pass me by
[Chorus]
Èmi, laye mi o
Nkan to da laye mi o, mo fe ṣ'ayé mi o
Ooh, èmi
Èmi, laye mi o
I no fit sleep, I'm working o
If I never make am, it's impossible
[Post-Chorus]
Ero mi to ń jo, to ń jo l'ori omi
Wait 'til it unfolds, unfolds glory for me
Feels like an old soul, with some new melodies
[Outro]
Pushing the limits
Baby, I'm pushing the best
And I cannot rush greatness, 'cause I listen to Cench'
And my emotions in the pen, I don't think they will understand
The type of person that I am, the type of person that I am
