E no easy eh yeah
When you ain't got the money
E no easy eh yeah
The world is falling on me
I be praying for the mandem
Don't nobody understand them
E no easy eh yeah
E no easy eh yeah
[Verse 1: M.anifest]
I saw this old guy, he had a strange vibe
At the bus stop with his high and his pride
Should I slowly drift or maybe give him a lift
I chose to pick him up with my pickup
The way the paddy dey be like money no dey am
E check like e no see cheques, life no pay am
Message in the baton but he couldn't relay am
He began to talk as we rode on New Road
When I was your age I thought I would have it made
A house on the hills a butler and a maid
But time flew fast and everyday I got paid
Trouble seemed to find me dreams all dey fade
I went from good Samaritan to becoming a charlatan
Now my hunger pains are triple that of Ramadan
Thanked me for the ride asked me about my life
I said I had a hard day he said I had a hard life (Ei)

Chale who's to say when go be your last
Stuck in traffic can't cry so I laugh
Rolled down my windows, voice of a sister
Abeg can I get a ride mister?
Signaled yes so she hopped in the front seat
Where you dey go? She said Labadi Beach
That explains how much you're not wearing
Laughter ensued convo brewed now I'm hearing
Money come and go, friends never stay
Thought crossed my mind while doing yoga, namaste
No silver spoon I don't cuddle or spoon
I've seen many a room don't you dare assume
That I'm easy peasy it's just pussy on loan
I have life alone I'm hoping to buy a home
Thanks for the ride I will alight
Told her have a good night she said have a good life (Ei)

[Verse 3: M.anifest]
Now I'm all alone riding thinking these thoughts
Driving never arriving chale real talk
Man really tire of these crooks and these liars
I for hit then retire
Sake-of a couple of Judas's and a couple of Brutus's
Put a knife in your back don't know if you know who this
I'm a narrator author, penguin give me an offer
Chale that be the move or else it's ludicrous
Message to the young bucks
Nobody giving a fuck if it don't make bucks
When money talks all the bullshit ducks
Get rich or die trying half a dollar and such
On my Nayirrah Waheed flow
Salt in my wounds but still upbeat
I felt sorry for a guy that had no shoes
Until I met another guy that had no feet
