[Intro]
Yeah
You know how the streets be
Steady grinding, but the heart still dey beat
Listen...
[Verse 1]
She want the Prada, she want the fine dining
She want that baby girl life, she no dey mind the timing
But baby, e no easy, I’m going through a phase
Counting all my pennies, stuck inside this maze
You want the lifestyle, yeah, the glitz and the glamour
But my pocket empty, e dey give me bad hammer
I love you truly, but I cannot fake the flow
If I promise you heaven, na lie I go show
[Chorus]
But you put a price tag on a lie, and you pay it
Anything I tell you, you believe it, you stay it
If I talk say I get, you love me more, you celebrate
But the truth is a burden that you no fit tolerate
I can’t lie to get your love, no, I no go do am
If the truth no dey sweet, I no go try to brew am
I no go lie, baby, I no go lie
Even if the truth go make you say goodbye
[Verse 2]
I see the way you look when I talk about the grind
You dey check for my wrist, you dey search for my mind
If I talk say I make am, you smile and you dance
But if I talk the struggle, you miss all your chance
You prefer the fantasy, the makeup on the soul
But me I want the real thing, to make me whole
I can’t be a puppet, acting out a part
Just to keep you happy, breaking down my heart
[Chorus]
But you put a price tag on a lie, and you pay it
Anything I tell you, you believe it, you stay it
If I talk say I get, you love me more, you celebrate
But the truth is a burden that you no fit tolerate
I can’t lie to get your love, no, I no go do am
If the truth no dey sweet, I no go try to brew am
I no go lie, baby, I no go lie
Even if the truth go make you say goodbye
[Outro]
Yeah
Street life, real life
I choose the truth, no matter the cost
Afro trap vibe
No lies, only truth...
I can't lie, I no go lie.
