[Verse 1: Burna Boy]
Is this the motherfv-c-k!ng thanks I get
For making my people proud every chance I get? [Yeah]
It’s okay, I get (Cole World)
This Naija, no love
Only Jah know where it started from [It’s only God that knows where it started from]
Oluwa Burna still apply pressure
Sneak up on you on a silent one
Ooh, ooh, who be that person? [Who’s that person?]
I showed you how to really do this thing
Oluwa Burna na the blueprint of course [Burnaboy’s the blueprint of course.]
And I gave you Afrofusion
No words can describe all of my waka waka [No words can describe all the trekking I did]
No place I no go to [There is no place I didn’t go to.]
If e dey hurt you, na like this I dey hustle [If it pains you, this is how I hustle.]
[Chorus: Burna Boy]
E go take your mind, woto, woto, oh, oh [It would take your mind by surprises]
Passa passa, oh oh [Swiftly]
Sare sare oh oh [Run swiftly]
Ki ya ma sa, oh oh [Run swiftly]]
Laye laye, oh oh [Never…]
Laye laye, oh oh, oh oh [Never…]
You go dey reason am [You would reason it]
Rough, rough oh oh
Passa passa, oh oh [Swiftly]
Sare sare oh oh [Run swiftly]
Ki ya ma sa, oh oh [Run swiftly]]
Soro, soro, oh oh [Speak]
Laye laye, oh oh [Never…]

[Verse 2: Burna Boy]
Too many people no dey fear God [Too many people do not fear God.]
What you think He created hell for?
Mankind so jealous
Wetin dem no know dem dey tell us, tell us [What they do not know, they are telling us]
Walahi, mi fe mo [Honestly, I do not want again]
Oluwa Burna moti jelo [Burnaboy, I have won continuously]
My fall is unheard of
You never hear them say I fell off, fell off
[Chorus: Burna Boy]
E go take your mind, woto, woto, oh, oh [It would take your mind by surprises]
Passa passa, oh oh [Swiftly]
Sare sare oh oh [Run swiftly]
Ki ya ma sa, oh oh [Run swiftly]]
Laye laye, oh oh [Never…]

[Verse 3: Burna Boy]
You say my mama dance for Fela [You said my mum dance for Fela]
You say I no get baby mama [You said I do not have babymama]
You say that I’m canceled again
You say I shoot pesin for Cubana [Yeah] [You said I shot someone at Cubana]
Because I wan collect pesin woman [Because I want to snatch someone’s woman]
[That’s how they act, right?]
Is this the motherfvck!ng thanks I get?
For making my people proud every chance I get
[Verse 4: J. Cole]
Burna and me, been running this sh!t for an eternity
I fathered a couple of styles, I’m taking paternity leave
Permanently, they hate, now I’m brushing the dirt off my sleeve
Steadily talking to me, it’s like I’m learning to read
Sounded it out, taking my time, counting it out, slowly
Dust collecting on the Rollie, me, and these beats is holy
Matrimony, feeling like Axel Foley
In Beverly Hills, copping whatever I feel
Cole and Burna, Shaq and Kobe
Winning a ring, then we gon’ repeat and three-peat
Them nerds hate, they seat geeks
They peeping us on the low, we like the cheat sheet
Get paid for phrases, I don’t believe in free speech
I said it, I meant it, no takebacks
I don’t even need the receipts, so please miss me with the PC
I be in NYC on a bike with the hood up like I’m E.T
These rappers ain’t like me, I’m knee-deep in the concrete
Forever cemented, don’t you ever forget it
[Chorus: Burna Boy]
E go take your mind, woto, woto, oh, oh [It would take your mind by surprises]
Passa passa, oh oh [Swiftly]
Sare sare oh oh [Run swiftly]
Ki ya ma sa, oh oh [Run swiftly]]
Laye laye, oh oh [Never…]
Laye laye, oh oh, oh oh [Never…]
You go dey reason am [You would reason it]
Rough, rough oh oh
Passa passa, oh oh [Swiftly]
Sare sare oh oh [Run swiftly]
Ki ya ma sa, oh oh [Run swiftly]]
Soro, soro, oh oh [Speak]
Laye laye, oh oh [Never…]
Is this the motherfvck!ng thanks I get?
[Outro: J. Cole]
Burna, I see you
You got the whole world on smash right now
This whole sh#t is yours, forever how long you want it
Know what I mean?
