Young Fathers - Dip lyrics
[Young Fathers - Dip lyrics]
Brute force and ignorance
The bitterest truth is better
Than the sweetest lies too early or too late
Learn to keep learning and learning chale
Wish I coulda seen ya but
The money wasn’t there papaye
Baby Alloy all grown up
Baby Alloy cheeky chancer
Baby Alloy aeyah
You dip your fingers in the water
You wonder what’s your punishment
You’ve gotten all your things in order
But what is your significance
Rustle up the advocates for
Some good old retribution
Duty calls you did your
Job under no illusions
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmmmmmmm
Seems say I don drawn you go find me oga
You go jump in the van or you
Go run na your own choice
We still they around
Puff puff cigar like tomorrow no dey come
Take your mama’s love or light couple bombs
Set off or prepare when the retribution comes
Stab your brother patience is the fear
Love each other render insincere
Render insincere
You dip your fingers in the water
You wonder what’s your punishment
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmmmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmmmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmmmmmmm
To a plain Jane i’m playing sane
Holding back the madness new trend
I’m tica-tica-tying up my loose ends
And I hope he’s worth more when he’s lifeless
A hit of a dark shade of hazel
At last at last my appraisal
Put the body and the mind on the table
With your favourite song playing on the radio
You dip your fingers in the water
You wonder what’s your punishment
You’ve gotten all your things in order
But what is your significance
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmmmmmmm
The bitterest truth is better
Than the sweetest lies too early or too late
Learn to keep learning and learning chale
Wish I coulda seen ya but
The money wasn’t there papaye
Baby Alloy all grown up
Baby Alloy cheeky chancer
Baby Alloy aeyah
You dip your fingers in the water
You wonder what’s your punishment
You’ve gotten all your things in order
But what is your significance
Rustle up the advocates for
Some good old retribution
Duty calls you did your
Job under no illusions
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmmmmmmm
Seems say I don drawn you go find me oga
You go jump in the van or you
Go run na your own choice
We still they around
Puff puff cigar like tomorrow no dey come
Take your mama’s love or light couple bombs
Set off or prepare when the retribution comes
Stab your brother patience is the fear
Love each other render insincere
Render insincere
You dip your fingers in the water
You wonder what’s your punishment
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmmmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmmmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmmmmmmm
To a plain Jane i’m playing sane
Holding back the madness new trend
I’m tica-tica-tying up my loose ends
And I hope he’s worth more when he’s lifeless
A hit of a dark shade of hazel

With your favourite song playing on the radio
You dip your fingers in the water
You wonder what’s your punishment
You’ve gotten all your things in order
But what is your significance
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmmmmmmm
