(VERSE 1- BOVI)
Back when I was younger, on College Road in Ogba
So broke, so ugly,
cos’ my only pain was hunger
Had nothing to part with
Never bothered by your luck
But the devil was my friend
Cos’, the future was getting darker
Ah; I told them I was funny
But, hid their laughter
They rate me financially
So, I knelt down at the alter
Ah; ten years down the lane
My wife is now a mother; ahh
Ten years back in time
I begged to date their daughter
Now, am smilling to the bank
And making babies across borders
My frien-nemies are wondering how I put the plans asunder
Before Before bad-belle was only in city people
Now, you pick your phone and you can be the evil
Bovi don dey rap
The causing from the cubicle
The Man On Fire- sold out shows
Cos’, am impossible
(CHORUS- BOVI)
Before Before, owu and I be roommate ohh
Stepped out the door
[Before Before]
Never, never to go back home
[Before Before]
Just carry dey go
[Before Before]
I no dey jisoro
[Before Before]
Steady killing the show
[Before Before]
I Keep counting my Dou; yeah
[Before Before]
(VERSE 2- KOFFI)
Owu was my best friend
Garri my roommate
Till grace carry graces, gracing grace, you see?
In ma quest for waves, hustle hard for cheese
Akamu was my custard
Shawarma was a luxury
Yam and Stew na Sunday things
Jollof na for Christmas
Klappo 6:30 to school
And bearer ma easter books
Look at me now [look at me now]
Look at me now [Look at me now]
Look at me now [look at me now]
Look at me now; yes
Sweet fling memories
Genevieve was my girlfriend
[Genevieve? Genevieve Nnaji?]
Genevieve Nwosu
Abi na only Genevieve be the only Genevieve wey be Genevieve?
Dated her in high school; she said I wasn’t cool
Can never swim in her pool
Now she see me with TV, and famz
iFool; hahahaha
Hello, am talking to you; Hi
Hi, fool! Hahaaa
Look at me now
(HOOK)
