used to take you to the african party
Chorus:
You're my sweetie,
My sugar, My lady,
my lover, so honey let me hold you, let me love you, forever
Verse 1:
Well, maybe not forever
Chain withdrawn when we not together
Best foot forward, holla at your boy
And I can get em all without lots of effort
take her home, and we can get it on
Make my jelof with lots of pepper
God has blessed her, prauda dresser
Mix my guiness with a Dr. Pepper
Im so Naija, she so ibo

Me bold dude, Boladipo olu
Whole crew, roll through, got more green than whole foods
African queen got what you need

You're my sweetie, My sugar,
My lady, my lover,

Verse 2:
Who said I don't rap, i am naija all day

We be in the party like we own that bar
No regard when I'm going at a broad
And I go up in a party like im going abroad
Understand that's fly, damn super fly guy land in Du Bai

Hate estate and my iPod wit it
Money on the floor, throw it on a broad
this is not balling, but this is our culture
You is not hip then I can not coach her
If its not couture, i will not go to her
If its not k9, i will not couture
To much cognac wheres my chauffeur
Chorus:
You're my sweetie,
My sugar, My lady,
my lover, so honey let me hold you, let me love you, forever
Money on the floor, spray it spray it

said theres Money on the floor, spray it spray it
said theres Money on the floor, spray it spray it
said theres Money on the floor, spray it spray it
said theres Money on the floor, spray it spray it
said theres Money on the floor, spray it spray it
said theres Money on the floor, spray it spray it
Chorus:
You're my sweetie,
My sugar, My lady,
my lover, so honey let me hold you, let me love you, forever
