Want Me Dead Lyrics
I know you got a Nigga but I want to show you love
You no too talk
Oh Sanusi

No more way for poor people, yeah yeah
When I wake up in the morning
The first thing to come my mind issue
Gbe Gbe lo
Shey na you know feeling wey you put for cupu make am turn purple

What's the fuss around, Stop the argument
Baby Farabale, make you calm down se
Say na you de pour my mind my fantase
Baby tell me why your love is so far fetched
Me I get feelings too
Know you got a nigga but I want to show you love
Tell me why the EGO de for people wey no poor, yee yee
Oh Sanusi

Know you got a nigga but I want to show you love
Tell me why the EGO de for people wey no poor

Oh for my head, I hear voices for my head
You wan con de do like say you want me dead
When I see you all my mouth is dumbfounded
Fire pour my head
For my head, I hear voices for my head
You wan con de do like say you want me dead
When I see you all my mouth is dumbfounded

I'm jealous of your happiness, I won't lie
If I carry ties I write for you, I don write am
If to say dem sell love, I for don buy

Tell me why the EGO de for people wey no poor
