Lyrics
This thing na the last thing I get ye
This thing is the last thing I possess.
But na the thing wey I go use place my bet
But it's what I will use to place my bet.
I hold my breath
I hold my breath.
I don't know if I'm ready yet
I don't know if I'm ready yet.
See as I de sweat ye
See how I am sweating.
As I no wan get regret ye
As I don't want to have regrets.
