“Dream Life” by Aguero Banks and Dandizzy feels less like a song and more like a voice note you record for yourself and never send. Aguero Banks speaks from the middle of the journey, not broke enough to quit, not successful enough to relax. You hear someone counting time, weighing choices, wondering if the dream is still a blessing or something he’s dragging behind him. There’s hunger in his words, but it’s controlled, almost careful, like he’s learned that wanting too loudly can attract disappointment.
[Intro]
Yeah
Ọkwabụ, onye elili ebulu oche ya

[Verse 1]
Eh, when I made my first million, m kpọọ my father, wee sendie half
Kpọ ndị ogbe anyị che na m amaanba uru, onweedị, make them laugh
Ụfọdụ na-ebuchelụ m akpọ
Ha fụm, ha achọ ịgbachadị m karate
But they cant come close, 'cos, ha ma na ihe m yị na ntị bụ seven karat
My manager jee gọte mop (Ojee gọte mop)
With the way I be dripping (Nwoke na-edrip)
You can't trespass, you why know I call my gang my siblings
Bịa nwa o, are you still sleeping? (Ika na-arahụ)
When I trap you listen, chai
Ọkwa m ngwaa ha na one day, egwu m ga-akpọ na O2 Brixton
'Cause, I came, I saw, conquered

Boys pasa n'ogbe eche God's plan, morning mass bụ nụ ụka
[PreChorus]
Maka na, eje ana bụ isi ije

[Chorus]
Go tell them I’m on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)

Bigger bags, I’m on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)
Bigger chats, I’m on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)
Go tell them I’m on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)
Ice box, I’m on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)
Rolls Roys, I’m on my way

Dream life, I’m on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)
[Verse 2]
I came, I saw, I conquered
When sapa been dey choke me for bunker
Bad belle put hand and I kunk am
Port Harcourt boy wey mighty like Duncan
My name na Daniel Tuotamuno Darius
Wey turn to Dandizzy
You wan know the reason
Na 'cause of the kpa
I no dey follow you laugh
I'll rather recure the kpa
Make I jukpa
Money must be made oh
Whether na naira or dollar, even though na pounds
I no dey castigate oh
I put in my blood and my sweat as I'm chasing the kpa
E no dey germinate oh
Always in pressure whenever we dey on the move
We no dey trafficate oh
You no get bar, ị na-eko
I'm living your dream life in my reality
They tell me say, "money na vanity"
And for the vanity
I can do anything
If I no get money, God go fit punish me
I look at myself in the mirror
I can’t see the person I was in the past
Back in the days, we dey for the hood
Na for bet naija we dey dey forcast
Now if we make hundred million, I want another
'Cos, I know sey money no dey last
If I dey sapa, the matter go cast
Money wey go high, like sey e dey kpras
So, tell them, "I'm on my way"
Two, four, seven, I dey my lane
Bad inluence like Omah Lay
If you no get money commot my way
[Chorus]
Go tell them I'm on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)
30 billion, I'm on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)
Bigger bags, I'm on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)
Bigger chats, I'm on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)
Go tell them I'm on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)
Ice box, I'm on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)
Rolls Royce, I'm on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)
Dream life, I'm on my way
(Heyyyyyy, I'm on my way)
[Verse 3]
Ọdị very funny, adị m money honey
Why this people wan to stop me?
Ka DJ Newmoney, adịị m afụdị anybody
Nobody fit to burst me
I had a plan of becoming a lawyer
But, the country changed this
I got a bag and hired a lawyer
Nobody fit to jail me
All my men nọ n'ilo
Jụọ your neighbour, "oji igbo"
"Sere debe ya" bụ the bro code
And ị ma na akpị kolo eko
Ihe m na-ebu bụ on a low
Onwee ndị ego ha adịlọọ e shoe
But, with steady grinding
Na steady praying
Till a dị ka Arthur Eze n'Ukpo
Adịgo m committed, I can't turn back
Mụnwa akọọla ịwa na my compund
Ọọ ya mele, mgbe ọbụna, ịfụ m
Adịị m afụ anybody, eyi m my sunglass
Only for men ka na-eche God's plan
Men nọ ọgbọete ewele ya my one stand
Obighi for time, my mom bookulu m mass
My mom mụlụ anya allnight
[PreChorus]
Eje ana bụ isi ije
Boy, ị ga-pịanwu igwe
Hapụ IG, pụta real life
Boy, ị ga-ejenwụ ije (Ị ga-ejenwụ ije)
Obele ihe na-ewe m iwe
Obele igbo na-enye m ike
And enwee m hope na, ọrụa nyee m ofu akpa emecha, ọ ga-enye m ise
