Burna Boy - I Told Them (feat. GZA) lyrics

One, two, three, woah
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo
I told them (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo)
I told them (Yo, yo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo)
Hmm-mmm (Yo, yo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo)
I told them, woah (Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo)

I told them I'm a genius
I had to show them what the meaning is
Hundred thousand hands, where the ceiling is?
I told them I'm the highest
With the drip, I'm the flyest
Hundred thousand hands, where the sky is?
Told 'em I'm amazing, they told me I was crazy
Nothing ever changed
I told 'em I'm a giant, real African giant
Self-confident, self-reliant
Told 'em I'm the master, they told me
I wouldn't prosper
I tell them say them be bastard
Tell them dem they joke yioo
So make I stop smoking yioo, I be that one you
Me, I dey feel pain, but I move forward
And I switch lanes
Because Odogwu no be nickname
They say, "Who be this pesin?"
I told them I'm Big 7
Put am for your body in a split second
Put me on your song, it's a hit record
If I put you on, you a rich nigga
Yes, I told them, I told them I'm a born winner
I stay humble, because I'm a born sinner
I told them that I was the realest
For some reason they didn't believe it
So here we are

Ooh-ah-ah, I told them from the start
Ooh-ah-ah, right from the very start
Ooh-ah-ah, I told them, I told them, ah-ah
I told them they were gonna see this
For some reason they didn't believe it
So here we are
Ooh-ah-ah, I told them from the start
Ooh-ah-ah, right from the very start
Ooh-ah-ah, I told them, I told them, ah-ah
I told them they were gonna see this
For some reason they didn't believe it
So here we are

Which one of you is the other?
I wanna join the attempt
We shine like that travels
And waves that are unbelievable
Distance and days
Radio, micro, infrared and ultraviolet
Picture so beautiful, I had to film the pilot
Coined a new grand of philosophy
That form images in your mind
Quite different from photography
Anointed few, a point of view of the thinkers
No pitch, that's a glitch full
Of hook lines, and sinkers
The way the wise look at light
The manner of the thoughtful
There is no benefit if it's not resourceful
Four to five, the observers
They get something from it
It become routine, been there and done it
I'm in a place where perception is developed
If you can't walk on these shoes
Then your feet would swell up
A medium by which thoughts are made clear
Beneath the surface, but
Only hurting the inner ear
