[Lyrics] Dark Poet – Ripple Effect ft. Falz & M.I Abaga

[Dark Poet]

Freak in the front, back seat looking disordered 

Just left the studio still hyped about what I recorded 

Missed calls from fam, blowing trees from Amsterdam with the ma’am 

Damn! a niqqa sorted

She say she want some Hennessy Dammnn a niqqa bought it

She say she wanna make a movie and yea I might record it cause

She took a bottle to the head and half the drink gone

Toll man sleeping in the booth so I hit the horn

He woke up, still sleeping acting kinda slow 

I gave him 500 like “keep the change I Gotta go

Driving slow as I try to roll the next blunt 

Thats when shorty poke me like “stop look, check point

Oh shit! play it smooth like a fun guy

Roll down the windows as I try to get unhigh 

Stepping on the roach just hoping the blunt die 

Still see the cops coming close through one eye 

I’m thinking I should do 0 – 60 and run by

But the road blocked and Mr. cop don’t look gun shy 

He said “how far anything for the weekend

Gave him a half a bottle of Hennessy just so we can

Create a distraction his reaction a smile creeping 

Across his face, it’s Friday night I’m fuckin spaced 

I’m trying to get this girl to my place yo can I go

He said “oga you too sabi walahi carry go carry go

[Falz]

Carry go walahi carry go 

Omo luabi ni eh, mo like bo shey dami lohun

But drop a little something for gala ati coke 

Poverty is poison I need to find an antidote 

Hello please, is it a crime to be police

Boys dey for road since, trying to control things

Crime rate e plenty, boys no dey get peace

Ask the FG why we no dey get G’s

Why e be say my salary no dey help me 

But na everyday wey my life dey for threaten

I protect everybody who protect me

If I die, tell me that they won’t forget me

I con see small small boys wey dey form status

Wan dey pose like say na them dey run Lagos

If them talk any how them go go station 

They are just eating money but they don’t labour 

Omo 20’something years ton wa E-class

He is either doing fraud or its rituals 

But see I like you, you na real guy

Just gimme Hennessy make I feel fine 

[M.I Abaga]

DP no go ever pick up when I need him 

Now he got me driving to the island just to meet him 

I try to be the best supporter of his music 

But I know he is in the studio with a shorty drinking and they are weeding

I finish work and rush so we can have a meeting 

Person wey dey rap when I was reading 

Meh life is so uneven 

But he’s my guy thats why I’m investing 

Plus if he blow na to be him lawyer be the next thing eh

Oh God! who be this ones wey dey put road block 

What police are doing is wrong but if I don’t stop

This one fit start to fire my car, see his gun is uncocked 

Always stopping young boys hungry police wey won chop

Yes officer! please tell me why you stop me

All my papers dey plus photocopy 

You no go fit to job me 

I’m a barrister I know my right

If you no get search warrant omo free me lemme leave my life 

Wait! empty bottle dey hand have you been drinking 

Officer of the law and you are drunk what are you thinking  

You don drink and now you are trying to extort 

Whats your name again tomorrow mo’ I swear I go report you

Make I die before I give you my last card 

If them no commot for force tomorrow call me bastard 

Person wey give you this work himself na big fool

You dey point gun at who

Omo commot that pistol
