Intro

Driving in a storm, how I fit see ahead
Weather forecast, a bit nippy I heard
Beggars can’t choose, but be picky instead
9 to 5 blues, kick me I’m dead

Verse 1:

Cross my T’s and dot my I’s
Stress wey e dey my chest I ostracize
Do atwe atwe burn rubber till you smell the tyres
Me and adwen b ay? aka, I’m cutting ties
My Jalabia tailor made or customized
My English straight pidgin all bastardized
What I for do? Ignore all the bastard guys
I work they snore, I pass those guys
Thank God it’s Friday, Of course! My mind dey
Rise and shine your eye, hustler’s way
All week long we hustle and slave
Trapped in enclaves for wages and pay
Koko king in the morning, ensure that vim dey
Weekend so strong helps to shun the weak days
Mommy say; “son, well God be praised,”
Well these days money be why we dey, someway
I bathe in faith, no bathing apes, a basic case
Of faith in something great, but still
From 6 to 6, with stones and bricks
I’m building a future I hope I live to see and shit

Hook

Up early no sleep, e be someway bi
Boys abr? all week e be someway bi
Price of living no be cheap, e be someway bi
But thank god it’s Friday, me b? gye me ni
Dum s? dum s?, e be someway bi
Ewia b? nsuo t?, e be someway bi
My woman bore, wa doggi me, e be someway bi
But thank God it’s Friday, me b? gye me ni

Verse 2: M.anifest

My eye get, me ni agyi

During the week I’m busy, me nni adaagye
But I still put in work sake of daakye
I’m even up before the sun says maakye
So it’s 5 on Friday ?ne? akye
Me k? verbs ak? akotwa me nan ase
Health is wealth, I give thanks, medaase
Might use my widow’s mite to buy asase
Waa wo nim s?
Hustle no dey nap hustle no dey sleep
Hustle no dey slack e mek wild on the streets
Hustle no dey vex or stress about beef
R.I.P laziness lay a wreath
Dance with the struggle got a million needs
We’ve been up in here long like Brazilian weaves
Wanna weekdays filled with our brilliant deeds
Weekends we can enjoy what resilience breeds
I bathe in faith not based with snakes
A basic case of me and fake no dey relate
From 6 to 6, with stones and bricks
Build a future, risque, Sharon Stone in flicks

Hook

Up early no sleep, e be someway bi
Boys abr? all week e be someway bi
Price of living no be cheap, e be someway bi
But thank god it’s Friday, me b? gye me ni
Dum s? dum s?, e be someway bi
Ewia b? nsuo t?, e be someway bi
My woman bore, wa doggi me, e be someway bi
But thank God it’s Friday, me b? gye me ni

Bridge
B?ga ma y? mer?
Girls abr? e no be boys p?
Thank God it’s Friday
B?ga ma y? mer?
Girls abr? e no be boys p?
Thank God it’s Fiada

Post Bridge
Driving in a storm I can’t see shit
All week long sink or swim that’s it
Staring at the clock does it move does it tick?
Time moves slowest when you need it to be quick

Driving in a storm how I fit see ahead
Weather forecast a bit nippy I heard
Beggars can’t choose but be picky instead
9 to 5 blues kick me I’m dead

Driving in a storm how I fit see ahead
Weather forecast a bit nippy I heard
Beggars can’t choose but be picky instead
9 to 5 blues kick me I’m dead

Hook

Price of living no be cheap, e be someway bi
But thank god it’s Friday, me b? gye me ni
Dum s? dum s?, e be someway bi
Ewia b? nsuo t?, e be someway bi
My woman bore, wa doggi me, e be someway bi
But thank God it’s Friday, me b? gye me ni
