Verse 1
Sheybi you dey study my condition

The way you dey move like chameleon
Why you dey change your color

I know say if I give you the upper hand you go fail me die
If I no try them go talk say na me no try so make I go apply
And by the time everything don dey come at once me no fit prove you right
