Before Alert

You dey answer when I call

You know that shirt I used to borrow
The blue one with the missing thread
You iron am before the morning
Say make I face the interview
I come back, face no too happy
You no ask how much dem pay
You put the kettle on the cooker
Say we go try another day

Nígbà tí mo ń wá iṣẹ́
Ìwọ ló ń bá mi rìn
Mo rántí gbogbo rẹ̀
N kò ní gbàgbé rẹ
Now they call me for the front row
I still dey look for you first
You tell me say you no get transport
I say make you wait, I dey come
