Ice Prince - Somebody Lied lyrics

Somebody lied
They tell me say the road to success
Man was easy and smooth man somebody lied
They tell me say everybody for Lagos
De chop good food man
Somebody lied, they tell me say it's all good
Now I realise say somebody lied

No be everything wey de glitter be gold
They made it sound cool when
The story was told
Once upon a time, I was chilling in my street
Then I got a call and they tell
Me say Lagos is the shit
Walked out of school, said I must go there
If na trek them de trek, me I no care
Some people sit me down, but me I no care
Shey na Lagos them de blow, I go end there
I took the night bus, cause me I had hope
And back home I was sad me and my dad broke
If na hunger we go fight, I go try cope
Me I go wash them eye till them go cry soap
Yeah, omo Lagos is calling
I hear say them get money, omo no dulling
Even if na mami water de, I go fall in
Cause where me I de, delay is not something

Somebody lied
They tell me say since ’99 light go plenty
Somebody lied, they tell me say my people
Belle them no go empty
Somebody lied, them tell me
Say it's all good
Now I realise say somebody lied
Somebody lied o, somebody lied

They me ’99 that everything go nice
The cake is very big and omo
You can have a bite
You put me in the office and
The I’ll do you right omo you won’t have to
Rhyme everyday and night and so we vote them
Them no promote us we no de facebook
But them de poke us we try to hang in there
But them de choke us
Them de build house for sky
And we de live for low cost
Everyday for news there’s nothing new
Oil rig stations still we just de queue
They say we get money but man it's just a few
Omo boys still de feed on rice with no stew
And after school sef, omo na house work
And you go go six feet if your mouth talk
Up till now some people still
De sleep for outdoor
You know the rest I don’t need
To talk them some more

Somebody lied
They tell me say you no go blow
If you no be Yoruba man somebody lied
They tell me say you come from Jos
And you no go go far man somebody lied
They tell me say my guy
You no fit compete man somebody lied oh
Somebody lied

Are you from J Town, omo forget rap
You ain’t got a chance out
There with your dead crap
You don’t even dress fly to begin with
You far from the best you ain’t
Gon start with your English
You say you spit well oh please, nigga
In Lagos you can’t compete
With the gees nigga
Your bank account’s gotta have a
Lot of six figures
And when you’re out there you
Gon be a diss figure
I ain’t trying to diss you
It's only true saying
This no be mouth wash, I no be toothpaste
You can’t fly there’s no
Gucci in your suitcase
You wan stay Lagos, omo in whose place
Celebrity ko, celebrity ni
You wey no fit pay your electricity fee
Better go school before you go become tout
Cause guy you no go blow even
With bomb for your dumb mouth somebody lied
