Chorus:
Anything for the boys, twale bàbá
Ọ̀gá Chairman nothing too small
Anything for the boys, twale bàbá
Ó kéré kò kéré, ó gungi n’ígboro
Ó s'ọmọ d'ọ̀bọ,
Ó kéré kò kéré, ó gungi n’ígboro
Ó s'ọmọ d'ọ̀bọ
Verse 1:
Honorable chairman, your boys are not smiling o
Minister Elépo we are queuing and still waiting o
Ọ̀gá to diná mú, we dey pay but no lighti o
Ọ̀gá pátá pátá quick quick put mouth for this matter
Which kain life be dis?, wetin dey happen sef?
Everything scatter scatter, everything don dabarú
Verse 2:
Every day and night we dey wait for you to settle
Na so we dey hail your name dey twale with muscle
We been put aside our pride dey beg for your table
But you no look our face you just dey nurse your bottle
Because:
Dollar na hire Naira don waka
Trial and error Èwo ló kan kọ́bọ̀ (x3)
Verse 3:
Follow me down to the belly of the beast
Where the have-nots never gonna find peace
And riba police with dem sirens be escorting thieves in Benz jeeps
Yeah my world is bleak, life is cheap, far too many lining up like sheep
But ain't nothing gonna change too soon, Oil tycoons dictating tunes
We all wrapped in fake cocoons, too scared to address our wounds
Suffering, smiling, groomed for doom, fighting each other for elbow room
Bridge
Anything for the boys, Anything for the boys,
Anything for the boys, Ọ̀gá Chairman
Nothing change ọmọ hustle no funny
Want a piece of the pie better pass my money
No more sweet sweet lies with the fake pity
Ain't no love left in Gidi If you're needy in my city
