Basquiat by Asake Lyrics

23, 24
Ṣébí I tell dem before make dem stop to dey f'ẹnu fọ
Ìṣe l'áyé ńyí, ìwọ gbọn-gbọn, it dey turn-turn
Bí revolver, Mag .44
Tell me what Olúwa can't do
Me, I no skedaddle
Tell me what Olúwa no fit handle
Jẹńgbádùn l'oma gbádùn
Bó yà kọ tàn candle
Dem small, Shatta Bandle
Walking poetry, I am greater
I'm a work of art to Basquiat
Na gaskia, owó àti àlàáfíà
L'áwa ńwá, no time for drama
Walking poetry, I am greater
I'm a work of art to Basquiat
Na gaskia, owó àti àlàáfíà
L'áwa ńwá, no time for drama
El Chapo (èmi ní)
Ebenezer Obey, the Commander (èmi ní)
Capone, Capo Di Tutti (èmi ní)
I'm on one, wọn rí'rú ginger (t'еmi rí)
I'm guilty, dem say my swag e dey kill, I no go appeal
Know it's hard to swallow the pill
Tell Najeem, tell Raheem, make you tell Wakeel
Shout out to my Sphinx, my mama, na she be my queen
Ogbor, ta ló b'ọmọ gọ?
Tani Ugo tó ń wú bọ? A ma kọ
No dey fuck up, o l'oko, o m'ọkọ
Wọn ní irọ' kọ, èmi l'ọmọ t'ọfín yangàn, yeah
All eyes on me bí tí 2Pac
Say, I too bad, you go feel am like Colos two drag
I no dey buga, I be cool cat
Never lose guard, can't catch the wave with a durag
Studying me it's an honor, jẹun lọ
I get many pages like songs of Solomon
L'ọlá Anọbi Muhammad
Kòní walẹ láì-láì 'til we reach Al-Jannah
