how many times did i call you?
your auntie and i warned you not to come during election season
you know i like to drink palm wine. yes. so
all i'm saying is jidenna
look: the cow that is in the hurry to go to america will come back here as corned beef
will be the one to make the first move on your life
as for the security guards
they were your father's best men
keep them close to you at all times
but remember: when you are in the village
but your family may not be with you
savage are the man and his band of thieves
so heavy is the head of he that wears the ring
but a lion don't ever lose sleep when it come to sheep
and just like wolves on the prowl to eat
they act in wool but they speak in peace
but i can't hide nor run from the ones who'll come for me
lookin' like i got oil money and slaves
i'm on the way to put my poppa in his grave
and i've come to bury him in the jungle
it's where we were from so a nigga stayed humble
kidnappers could snatch and ambush your kids
i'm on the low i ain't tryna be a martyr
it don't help i stand out like a foreigner
but armed robbers think i'm made of top dollars
when i was six and guerillas ran up on us
beating the shit out of my mama
shot me in the foot put a bullet through my armor
i'm a kill 'em when i see 'em again
so the prince got knights in all black hanging out the side doors
aks on they back shining like swords
pops would say once you're bitten by a snake
