Bread and Butter

I was left in the gutter
So unkept and disordered
But letting go easily is not the way i was brought up
Not the way i was brought up

Seventeen years down the lane
Show respect 'cause i'm a legend
If you think it's time to wane
I'll be here for five more decades
Every hit I drop contain

An unfading vibe and message
How I put my life at stake
You know I ain't dying wretched
They say fame comes before the fortune
That I ain't far from being rich, I hope it happens so soon

I hustle from the sunrise to even when it's not noon
To build a company outta these projects with no room
Get the deal, safee and sealed
While my ill's getting healed
Let the skills pay the bill
While I keep staying real
Break the jinx, everything
Mine I'll keep getting it
Rep the street, faithfully
My ideas, feed me bread

Take the fame and the stardom
Gimme bread, gimme butter
Make it rain on my cover
Won't remain in the bottom

Take the fame and the stardom
Gimme bread, gimme butter
Make it rain on my cover
Won't remain in the bottom

Been a long time dealing with deficit
From the genesis
Whenever I spit 'them bars they say damn it's lit
From a novice, I became a specialist
But I'm tired of applause, I need financial benefit
Enough to take care of my family and my relatives
For who's a medalist

Living broke life without some currency to better it
For every spirit of distraction that's gon' put me out of action
I'm down on my knees praying for the strength to quit
1997' na yi aiki a gidan breadi

Naira saba'in a sati don samun na kare raini
Nisan gona ne kan sa manomi gina gida a jeji
Bana jin bari, sai dai idan mama ta kwabe ni
Gata nan kuwa tana ta ce mun yaro ka je
Muryar ka makamin ka, duk kidan da ya hauro kashe
Ina kan baka na, sakon a kan arrow ya ke

Take the fame and the stardom
Gimme bread, gimme butter, yea
Make it rain on my cover
Won't remain in the bottom, nah

Take the fame and the stardom
Gimme bread, gimme butter, yea
Make it rain on my cover
Won't remain in the bottom, nah

Take the fame and the stardom
Gimme bread, gimme butter, yea
Make it rain on my cover
Won't remain in the bottom, nah

Take the fame and the stardom
Gimme bread, gimme butter, yea
Make it rain on my cover
Won't remain in the bottom, nah

Take the fame and the stardom (stardom)
