“Picture” is an introspective track where Olamide gets personal about his career journey and the impact of the music industry. He reflects on his come-up, the fame, and the constant pressure to deliver. The vibe is a bit more laid-back and thoughtful compared to his usual aggressive street anthems. Baddo wants his listeners to believe in their own pictures even when others can’t see it.
[Intro]
Through sickness, we recognise the value of health
Through evil, the value of good
If you think say you dey para, I dey para pass you
If you gamble and I win, I no go last you
[Chorus]
They say I'm in a hurry, won ni oju n kan mi
Fuck what dey say, ko si n kan ti okan mi
We can feel the same pain, the same way
Some go smile, some go sigh, some go shout, ewee
So don't blame me, don't blame me now
If you can't see the picture
Mo wa ni nu brain me, ni nu brain me now
I'm hustling into my future
[Verse 1]
A le nip e ko ni pe, ko ni ipe, ko lo ya
Ale nipe ko ni ya, ko ni ya, ko lo pe
To ri e every morning ti mo ba ji ni mo ma n se ope
Ma tun fo e nu pelu ogiri ati miliki olope
Live fast die young, wo ni ti mi o ba ku, mo lucky
Aye n reti eleya mi ninu coffin
Won ni pe mo rascal, won pe mi ni ragamuffin
Sugbon mo ma n da owo tithe mi, pelu offering
Mo ni mo ma Dagrin
Mo ni mo ma Biggie
Mo ni mo ma Tupac, Shakur Weaving, back to sender
Eruku owo e da Ta ka osi danu si awon alori bu eda
Olosho thinking of how they ruin me, but I know what I'm doing, ah
They want to Wande Coal me, they want to Davido me
[Chorus]
They say I'm in a hurry, won ni oju n kan mi
Fuck what dey say, ko si n kan ti okan mi
We can feel the same pain, the same way

[Verse 2]
Same onish, different shalanga

Mo n shey bi eni ti o ti ku ri, to ti de orun bo
Sugbon olorun a ma sho mi lo, sho mi bo
Mo fo ori mi, accepted
Ti o ba lo fi ara we mi, wa jented
I'm a blessing, it's undeniable But I am not 100% reliable
I do make mistakes unknowingly, and so many honestly things i know really
Mo dabi Lion, mo da bi hyena
Mo da bi vampire ti o ma mu eje sere bi ribena
My good doings bless me, the bad ones cause criminal no mind me
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Came into the game with my face so ugly
Some of my peeps been dey use am dey mock me
I couldn't blame them chicks, dey couldn't hug me
Its all good now, they all wanna fuck me
They didn't see the picture
They never thought i would look good in future
To hell with good looks, I am all about my business
I'm good looking about my ways I'm so wicked
All my ex want me back now, I can tell Some of them don bleach like Vybz Cartel
Some of them done frustrate so tey, when them dey dress them forget to wear their koste
I'm not perfect, I don't hide it, expressing myself freely no dey hard me
Awon eruku nigboro gan regard mi
[Chorus]
They say I'm in a hurry, won ni oju n kan mi
Fuck what dey say, ko si n kan ti okan mi
We can feel the same pain, the same way
Some go smile, some go sigh, some go shout, ewee
So don't blame me, don't blame me now
If you can't see the picture
Mo wa ni nu brain me, ni nu brain me now
I'm hustling into my future
So don't blame me, don't blame me now
If you can't see the picture
Mo wa ni nu brain me, ni nu brain me now
I'm hustling into my future
So don't blame me, don't blame me now
If you can't see the picture
Mo wa ni nu brain me, ni nu brain me now
I'm hustling into my future
