OG the Story - Irish Resident

Got to play my part in the city that I'm living in
Hold onto your seat for the story 'cause it's riveting
African indigene, grew up in a household where we got disciplined
Grew up in a household where we got disciplined(Ughh)
Irish resident, African indigene
Grew up in a household where we got disciplined
Pay my taxes, I'm a good citizen
Got to play my part in the city that I'm living in
Could have ended up a footballer dribbling
But I get paid from this work I'm distributing
Invest, get paid again from the dividend
Let the money stack up as we keep contributing
Bet it on myself so it keeps on tripling
Circulate it, let it rain, no drizzling
I play the game back and forth like its Wimbledon
Hold on to your seat for the story 'cause it's riveting
When I think it's outside the box, no limiting
Give it all I got, you can trust, no giving in
Keeps going and they wonder what's driven him
The passion was just too much for me to keep it in
Came to the city so I could get the degree
Was in Dublin but didn't go to Trinity
Went to DIT in the same vicinity
Now I live on the southside for tranquility
The world is changing and you need agility
I've got a team with the right capabilities
Run a tight operation like the military
We should meet and discuss possibilities
I was sixteen when I landed overseas
Irish resident, African indigene
I was sixteen when I landed overseas
Nigerian but I could be Congolese
Irish resident, African indigene
Nigerian but I could be Congolese
I was sixteen when I landed overseas
Nigerian but I could be Congolese
Won't let the borders separate me from my brothers
Berlin conference look at where it got us
I tell my peeps, you could be what you want to be
Look around you be the change that you want to see
Know you're a star, you don't need to know astronomy
Just be yourself, you don't need to give apologies
You need a friend, yes indeed you can call on me
Serving one another is how we build the economy
See, you can make work to help others get work
Building out the network is building up the net worth
Used to be restless, now I'm under less stress
Not quite sure how but here's my best guess
Got my mind clear and focused on my interest
Much more grateful now, I know that I've been blessed
Man on a mission, focus on a vision
Broadcasting live, hope you're getting the transmission
Just making the most of the talent I've been given
And I'll never stop until my generations' risen
Hope and inspirations' what I'm giving them
Wake them up hope they never go to sleep again
Think about the babies, realize what we're teaching them
Let's let the younger ones know we believe in them
I was sixteen when I landed overseas
Irish resident, African indigene
I was sixteen when I landed overseas
Nigerian but I could be Congolese
Irish resident, African indigene
Nigerian but I could be Congolese
