[00:07.371]Jidenna how many times did I call you
[00:10.565]You are a stubborn bull just like your father
[00:14.912]I don't understand you
[00:16.769]Your auntie and I warned you not to come during election season
[00:21.540]But you would not listen
[00:23.102]Where is my my palm wine
[00:25.786]You know I like to drink palm wine yes
[00:32.744]So all I'm saying is Jidenna look
[00:38.28]The cow that is in the hurry to go to America will come back here
[00:42.894]As corned beef
[00:44.103]Do you understand
[00:45.326]Shine your eye
[00:47.139]Although we are brothers your uncle you know magnus
[00:51.899]Will be the one to make the first move on your life
[00:55.520]As for the security guards they were your father's best men
[00:59.780]They are now yours
[01:01.355]Keep them close to you at all times
[01:03.920]But remember
[01:06.440]When you are in the village you are with your family
[01:10.507]But your family may not be with you
[01:15.150]Savage are the man and his band of thieves
[01:17.427]So heavy is the head of he that wears the ring
[01:20.173]But a lion don't ever lose sleep when it come to sheep
[01:25.313]And just like wolves on the prowl to eat
[01:27.934]They act in wool but they speak in peace
[01:30.408]But I can't hide nor run from the ones who'll come for me
[01:35.533]Tell 'em come for me
[01:36.756]Bald head red kufi and shades
[01:38.931]Lookin'like I got oil money and slaves
[01:41.485]I'm on the way to put my poppa in his grave
[01:44.182]In a disguise riding in a motorcade
[01:46.813]And I've come to bury him in the jungle
[01:49.345]It's where we were from so a *****stayed humble
[01:52.29]Now don't fumble don't stumble don't trip
[01:54.305]Kidnappers could snatch and ambush your kids
[01:56.983]I'm on the low I ain't tryna be a martyr
[01:59.840]It don't help I stand out like a foreigner
[02:02.392]Nah I ain't a balla
[02:03.831]But armed robbers think I'm made of top dollars
[02:06.378]I made a promise
[02:07.678]When I was six and guerillas ran up on us
[02:10.11]Taking my sis beating the ****out of my mama
[02:12.556]Shot me in the foot put a bullet through my armor
[02:15.81]I'm a kill 'em when I see 'em again
[02:17.98]So the prince got knights in all black hanging out the side doors
[02:20.543]Aks on they back shining like swords
[02:23.131]Pops would say once you're bitten by a snake
[02:25.583]The paranoia make you pop a lizard in the face
[02:49.676]The village hear the guns firing
[02:51.329]A salute and a siren chief's arriving
[02:53.920]I walk by the choir and drummers vibin'
[02:56.600]The parade so alive you wouldn't think someone died
[02:59.338]They shoutin'our chief is with us
[03:02.616]Strangers claim they my cause
[03:05.86]They plottin'to take all my land
[03:07.434]They must forgot who the f**k dat I am
[03:10.400]I greet my uncles with a case of gifts
[03:12.708]From the thrift they treat it like saks fifth
[03:14.819]He greet me with a dish
[03:16.121]I've weighed the risk
[03:17.317]Paid the cater to switch plates in case it's a hit
[03:20.104]These muh'****as wanna poison my soup
[03:22.489]I wish I could trust 'em like the boys in blue but uh
[03:25.732]In the villa never eat what they give ya
[03:27.926]You're with your fam but your fam may not be with ya
[03:52.412]They lower him in the ground
[03:54.867]I shovel dirt on the mound
[03:56.511]Darkness falling I can't stick around
[03:59.00]No time to grieve one hour the flight leaves
[04:01.793]I feel thieves and witches within the trees
[04:04.348]Hop in a jeep and on dirt road we speed
[04:06.848]Someone chasing us hummers chasing us
[04:09.438]A runaway train I ain't taking no breaks in this
[04:12.106]Ride mutha****a don't take it slow ride mutha
[04:14.584]Ride mutha****a don't take it slow ride mutha
