Rich by M.I Abaga Lyrics
CHORUS:
Ilekun a shi (doors will open)
Ise owo mi falubarika si (the works of my hands make them prosper)
Everything we dey face right now go turn stories
We will all be rich
From cooking with kerosene
To the back of limousine
Going where we've never been
Seeing things we've never seen
They don't want to let us in
But soon our name would get us in
From buying food inside newspaper
To the front page of magazine
From dustbin to the mansion
They go pack out and we pack in
From washing clothes inside latrine
Till we doing proposals with car key
When I chop, then you chop, then we chop
It's tag team
Them bad bele people that's hating on you
E go do them like bad dream
CHORUS X2
Ilekun a shi (doors will open)
Ise owo mi falubarika si (the works of my hands make them prosper)
Everything we dey face right now go turn stories
We will all be rich, we will all be rich (X2)
I was telling my family, my daddy, my mummy
My brothers, I'm talking 'bout Jagz and Zamani
We don't have no money, they treating us funny
But soon we'd be talking to Toolz on Ndani
Morning is coming and soon it'd be sunny
Land will be flowing with milk and with honey
Driving the Bently and dating Agbani
Flying to Yankee to pick up the Grammys
Omo Baba Olowo
All of our children would sing that tomorrow
Cause they don't know what's it's like in the ghetto
And they don't know the meaning of borrow
From blessing to blessing
No stress in my life, I'm progressing
Confessing confessions of flexing
Till my pocket is vexing
CHORUS X2
Ilekun a shi (doors will open)
Ise owo mi falubarika si (the works of my hands make them prosper)
Everything we dey face right now go turn stories
We will all be rich, we will all be rich (X2)
Yes
I'm wishing you money, I'm wishing you money, I'm wishing you wealth
I pray that you ball, I pray that you ball, I'm wishing you health
Whatever you pray for yourself
May you receive it and more
May you not be greedy at all
Your wealth would be feeding the poor
They don't believe you will soar
They say no one will see you on tour
But from barely surviving
TO business is thriving until you can even the score
When they see you tomorrow
They won't recognise that they've seen you before
Won't recognise that they've seen you before
Won't recognise that they've seen you before
Amen
Ilekun a shi (doors will open)
Ise owo mi falubarika si (the works of my hands make them prosper)
Everything we dey face right now go turn stories
We will all be rich
From cooking with kerosene
To the back of limousine
Going where we've never been
Seeing things we've never seen
They don't want to let us in
But soon our name would get us in
From buying food inside newspaper
To the front page of magazine
From dustbin to the mansion
They go pack out and we pack in
From washing clothes inside latrine
Till we doing proposals with car key
When I chop, then you chop, then we chop
It's tag team
Them bad bele people that's hating on you
E go do them like bad dream
