Bella Shmurda – Lagos City Lyrics
[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
Many fish wey no be Titus

Plenty craze man for Lagos
Plenty people wey no like us
