Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah ah
My people have a saying
The child that has said his father will not
Sleep shall also not sleep ha ha
M I Chocolate City
Yeah

See dem see dem
Dey wanna beef me
Now that they see BET on my cv
Now that I be frequently on the TV
They wanna go there but can't afford the TP
My motto is do more talk less
Never get mad at another man's success
So when people tryna make sure I chop less
I say no be your fault you're just jobless mtchew
Nonsense
But do you yeah and keep missing ha Yakubu
But here's some advice if you still wanna
Walk down the road and go hug transformer
Go find a cliff do a Jimmy Jatt jumpoff
Marry a granny have a son your a son of
Go boil stone e go cure your sickness
Or maybe you should just focus on your business spash

Make una come help me see
Which kain strong head pikin
Kpomo e no chop
Fish e no chop
Goat e no chop
He say he wan beef
Make una come help me see
Which kain strong head pikin hey
Kpomo e no chop
Fish e no chop
Goat e no chop
He say he wan beef

See musicians tryna beef me for real son
Maybe they doing it to promote they album
They know that using my name will help dem sell some
So Iceberg its alright you're welcome
But I'm not in their league help me tell them
The Super Eagles don't play against the Falcons
See worwor pikin dey form handsome
Kelechukwu clap for yourself well done
I'm a legend in the making Malcolm
MI's more connected than the Telcomm
Why you mad at my flow you be tampon
You showing your ass nigga put your pants on
But incase you still wanna risk yo
Please go bleach your hair dey form Sisqo
Climb Nepa pole begin to dance disco
Cause beefing Mr Incredible me no think so kpash

Make una come help me see
Which kain strong head pikin hey
Kpomo e no chop
Fish e no chop

Kpomo e no chop
Fish e no chop
Goat e no chop
He say he wan beef ha

Ha I said see people beefing
Cos M is living economically even
Look at them speaking
Facebook tweeting
Like we can do better whatever he can
Life isn't even some years are leaping
Some people living at the top some are deep end
Some people so broke others wealth reaping
Me I just keep being focused on achieving
Yes nowadays I am eating
But you should learn how I got where I be in
How I would fry as I sat in the sun through the weekend
Believing if I worked hard then I go reach them
Yo and these days I am seeing
The skies wide enough for all is free seating
Used to love beef but its healthier to be vegan
So no beef on my mind or mohican pass

Make una come help me see
Which kain strong head pikin! hey
Kpomo e no chop
Fish e no chop
Goat e no chop
He say he wan beef
Make una come help me see

Kpomo e no chop
Fish e no chop
Goat e no chop
He say he wan beef

All my beefing boys
All catle herders suya sellers
Kilishi retailers
Beef packagers




And beef package not hehehe
Get a life dude yeah
