“Clowns” represent people driven by fear and greed, who, despite outward bravado, are consumed by these emotions. Vector and Ladipoe deliver sharp, thought-provoking verses that critique societal hypocrisy and the lengths to which people go for wealth and security. This introspective hip-hop track proves that hip-hop and quality rap music are very much alive and thriving in Nigeria.

[Intro: Vector]
You know when
P.diddy said he wasn't scared of clowns and a clown popping up had diddy dancing around
Let's address it
[Verse]
You know when
P.diddy said he wasn't scared of clowns and a clown popping up had diddy dancing around
Fear as a concept is the funniest one
So here's a clue
Ellen was the generous one
To show us real life footage of the fearless ones
To inspire us that the fearless ones were careless once
And, it's okay to loose guard on a show
But when you still meet the wolves
Dance with them and let them go
Then you're, on to the next like
Swizz made a beat and
HOV had a verse saying
The only chill on him is
Right on his neck
See defeat is the feat
That's why my clapping grounds you
'Cause defeat is the feet
Then the greed is the greed
As long as you check the flag on my country
And the green is the green
With the white in between
Being content versus pitching your tent
With the greedy is all in the genes
Your genes
[Chorus]
Shey na hunger
You want the bread wey dey come with the beef, hmm
Shey na burger
I mean they even add cheese for the thing
Shey na topper (Topper)
Yah
But you knew that, motherfucker
[Verse 2]
Warren Buffet once said
Be afraid when they are greedy (Ole)
And be greedy when they're afraid (Eh, eh)
So I'm really not surprised
Sanity and sanitizer have trippled in price today, yeah
Out here we don't live, we survive
Don't you know?
Without a doubt, the most dangerous man alive is a married man with kids
Desperation In his eyes
The things he willing to do
In the name of "God will provide", (Hmmm)
Yeah
No mentors
(Many many) many many millionaires, hmm
They can't show us the design because behind every fortune, there is usually a crime (Hmmm)
It's in their genes though
Fear and greed stitched in the denim of your soul
If laughing to the bank is in the nature of a clown then
Oh shit, we're all clowns
(Alawada ni gbogbo wa)
[Chorus]
Yeah
Shey na hunger
You want the bread wey dey come with the beef
Shey na burger
I mean they even add cheese for the thing
Shey na topper?
What's the last line?
Motherfucker
