Asake – Basquiat Lyrics

Intro
Ololademi Asake
Turn into the king of sounds and blues

Refrain
Twenty-three, twenty-four
Shebi I tell dem before
Make dem stop to de fenu foh
Shelayeyin
Iwo gbon gbon
E de turn turn
Bi revolver mag .44
Tell me what Oluwa can’t do
Me I no skedaddle
Tell me what oluwa no fit handle
Jẹ n gbadun lo ma gbadun
Boya kan tan candle
Dem small Shatta Bandle

Chorus
Walking poetry, I am greater
I’m the work of art, Basquiat
Na gaskia, owo at’alafia
Lawa n wa, not time for drama o
Walking poetry, I am greater
I’m the work of art, Basquiat
Na gaskia, owo at’alafia
Lawa n wa, not time for drama o

Verse
El chapo, e mi ni
Ebenеzer Obey, the commandеr, e mi ni
Capone, kapo de tutti, e mi ni
I’m on one
Body with ginger, e mi ni
I’m guilty, if dem see my swag, e dey kill
I no go appeal
Know it’s hard to swallow the pill
Tell Nojim, tell Raheem, may you tell Wakeel
Shout out to my Sphinx, my mama na she be my queen
Ogbor, talo bi omog
Tani ugo to n wu bo, ama ko
No de fuck up
O lo ko, o m’oko
Won ni iro ko emi lomo tan fin yangan, yeah
All eyes on me biti 2pac
See I too bad
You go feel am like kolos two drag
I no de buga, I be cool cat
Never loose guard
Can’t catch the wave with a durag
Studying me it’s an honour jeun lor
I get many pages like songs of Solomon
Lola Anobi Muhammad
Koni wa le lai lai till we reach al Jana

Refrain
Twenty-three, twenty-four
