The Swag - How It Goes Down

From the day I was born, till this day
It was said I was destined to blow like a storm
Flow like I want to, know where am from
Like am born to burn up, I smoke like a gun but ey
In Berlin city all day, fresh out the crib I hit the subway
Off to getting paid, no time for long play
Hustlers, mhm work all year
Like my bro Donmay, learn the hard way
You don't know, it's best you watch what you say
The wrong shit, get you dumped in junk pit, so dog
You best be on your gun play
Some days get cold, so gotta know
How to stay on the low, avoiding 5 0
Y'all know, it's the usual, inevitable, they wan get rid of who
Label who, criminal, one week minimum locked, like an animal
Damn, unbelievable, cannibal, like Hannibal Lecter
Quick to get ya, all cause they reject ya

If this is how it goes down
This is how it's supposed to sound
As these words go around
Let them know, that's wassup

If this is how it goes down
This is how it's supposed to sound
As these walls go around

Berlin chics are dimes, but divas
Fly as hell, perfect for niggaz
But think we're all broke so they say we're losers
Hit the road to Mannheim and roll with soldiers hey
I notice how to see us, hopeless
When you're broke she go, notice
No matter where she go home is home despite the promises
Fellas, be honest, how many y'all get your girls flowers huh
Still she treat you well
Trust me, I've seen a lot of this myself
A lot of you know my tale so I keep this real
Felt invincible till I pictured jail cell
Well, I'm back in town, shocked at how they all got babies now
I hope that you know, we grow old and change
Boys grow into men, girls to women, shape revealing
Wanna taste the lemons, but won't fall for this lustful demons

If this is how it goes down
This is how it's supposed to sound
As these words go around
Let them know, that's wassup

If this is how it goes down
This is how it's supposed to sound
As these walls go around

Break it down, how it's suppose to sound
Break it down, how it goes down
Break it down, how it's supposed to sound

If this is how it goes down, this is how it's supposed to sound
As these words go around the whole world know I'm out
If they praise I'll be crowned, but if they hate, let them frown
What I do pulls crowd, what they do is not allowed
Yes I'm laughing now, at last I made mummy proud
They say I'm breaking bounds, represent my hometown

Lagos to ABJ, ABJ, Lagos then to Berlin
Where I live through struggling every day
Trying to make this paper anyway
A couple years in the game, nothing changed
Put in work, hoping one day it pays
What goes around come back, and it goes around

If this is how it goes down
This is how it's supposed to sound
As these words go around
Let them know, that's wassup

If this is how it goes down
This is how it's supposed to sound
As these walls go around
Eh, yeah
If this is how it goes down
This is how it's supposed to sound
As these words go around
Let them know, that's wassup

If this is how it goes down
This is how it's supposed to sound
As these walls go around
