Intro
We dey give dem sanga
Shey mo si le samto

Never to lose my focus

E don dey my routine, since I was 16
Never to lose my focus
I dey work like machine
But since na my routine
I just dey move like robot

Verse 1
Oh baby give me soft landing o
We don't need no surveyors
You don fly go Paris
You don leave me for Lagos
And do you expect me to move on is it because I'm famous
Oh, baby these streets, these streets won't contain us, hmm
Oh, baby these streets, these streets won't contain us
Oh, baby these streets, these streets won't contain us
These streets won't contain us

Verse 2
And sexy girls dey my city, Eko
If I put am on call make she dey come, she go come

But since na my routine

Outro
Give me soft landing o
We don't need no surveyors
You don fly go Paris
You don leave me for Lagos
And do you expect me to move on
