It’s Over Lyrics by FOLA, Bella Shmurda & Zlatan

 

Intro
Don’t you know I need you in my arms
Let me show how I can lift you up

Verse 1: FOLA
Tear tears inna mi eyes
Bá mi shano, I wan shine
So many things I wan try
And the rhythm cannot die
So I pray, so I pray

Make dem call me “Ọmọ ọlọ́gọ́”
Many billi’ I wan count
Olè ni mí if I runs am

Pre-Chorus: FOLA
Holy Father, bá mi shana wọlé, make dem wonder
Make e be like say I do one jazz
Kó dé, má bá mi lọ, kó máa padà lẹ́yìn mi
So, Holy Father, as ọmọdé, oh, me, I wan para
As ọmọdé, oh, me no wan die
Make my enemies no see my mama cry, oh, ah

Chorus: FOLA
Ọ̀rọ̀ mi lọ́wọ́ Olórun ló wà (Olórun)
And I’ll be taking over
When them say it’s over, that it’s over
Now them wan link up, cosign, no doubts
Shebi them carry shoulder?
Èmi mọ̀ kọ́lọ salary wò, ah, but it’s over

Verse 2: Bella Shmurda
Past tense l’oro ti jo
I thank God say I dey where I belong
Since I’ve been living the life that I want
Obe yi dun, ma lo je kin shamaya…
Hop in the club, mesmerise won gidi gan
All the ladies love me to the core
Eledumare gbe mi cho, ori mi wan sun wa gba dollar

Pre-Chorus: Bella Shmurda & FOLA
Holy Father, bá mi shana wọlé, make dem wonder
Make e be like say I do one jazz

As ọmọdé, oh, I no wan die
Make my enemies no see my mama cry, oh, ah

Èmi mọ̀ kọ́lọ salary wò, ah, but it’s over

Bridge: FOLA
Ọ̀rọ̀ mi lọ́wọ́ Olórun ló wà (Don’t you know; Olórun)

Èmi mọ̀ kọ́lọ salary wò, ah, but it’s over

Outro: Zlatan
Iro ni, ma je’o paro fun e pe o le di iru seh, o le di gba
Respect still later change
No cut that coat according to your size, leave am
Patient dog we dey wait bone, ebi lo ma pa ku
School lo ti need maths, to ba ti de igboro, ko calcu
Masun, ma gba
If you no cash out, no back out
Your mumsy soup fit sweet, but if you want…
Pack am, fi werey wa jade
To ri odaju ni bukata
No more way for poor people
No be me, na Mavo talk am
If you dey get am clear, I pray your money constant
No forget those wey dey when ogi never turn to custard
Oye finger, na everybody dey rush am
If kasala bust, everybody go wash hand
