Lagos City Lyrics by Bella Shmurda
Verse 1
As you see me so, I don dey craze
Gbana for my head, no tell me say hustle no go pay
Money no go dey, I fit to mara if raba no dey
As you see me so, no go use me play
Ororo dey my head anytime any day
Where the dollar dey? na there I dey
I no do gra gra for mummy sake
Chorus
Ahn, ahn, ahn, ahn, ahn, ahn
Many people dey for Lagos
Many car wey no be Lexus
