Black Sherif – Eye Open
Eye Open Lyrics:
How many times did they write me essays
Them go dey watch my face e dey vex
Nyankopɔn no ne nsa ano no icing
Pon my cake o
Used to starve but now we get options
Ghetto style and sometimes yɛdi sɔkyee
Tings a gwan and I'm taking my lessons
Nti meda aa me ntumi nda ah
I try keep a one eye open
Left eye closed and the right eye working
One eye open o
Nti medaa daa me ntumi daadaa
Keep a one eye open
One eye open
One eye open
One eye open oh oh
I live in a city of bullies
I no dey try to be one of them sillies
I chase my cedis, akoa wei maagani
And I tread carefully
Some people attack me rampant
Keeping it cool rasta eh mannkasa
I keep on ballin in pain
I keep on ballin in red Mo Salah
Some people aske me aza
Sende me dollar sende me zaza
Message me flowers aske me how far
Too medin Messiah nsi mefɔm da
Some people aske me aza
Sende me dollar sende me zaza
Message me flowers aske me how far
Too medin Messiah nsi mefɔm da
Nti meda aa me ntumi nda ah
I try keep a one eye open
Left eye closed and the right eye working
One eye open o
Nti medaa daa me ntumi daadaa
Keep a one eye open
One eye open
One eye open
One eye open oh oh
So many things in my life I see
Sapa do me like 5 and 6
Enter streets and I turn MC
And I dey deliver like e be pregnancy
When I look in the mirror, ọmọ, what do I see?
Superstar wey go dey tour oversee
Big up the fans them dey come through I see
Very soon we dey tour Tema and Kumasi
Ọmọ guy we dey hot like NEPA take light
And the blessing to clear like a broad day light
I dey grind like person wey buy one way flight
Eh, japa for poverty don't waste time
Glory be to almighty Jah on me
Bi mo ṣe n pe Jesu ni mo ṣe n p'Anabi
Ọmọ ologo is what we wanna be
Ma don Sherif, like Naija jolof make the jam too sweet
Nti meda aa me ntumi nda ah
I try keep a one eye open
Left eye closed and the right eye working
One eye open o
Nti medaa daa me ntumi daadaa
Keep a one eye open
One eye open
One eye open
One eye open oh oh
