Verse 1: [Burna Boy & J. Cole]
Is this the motherfucking thanks I get
For making my people proud every chance I get? (Yeah)
It’s okay, I get (Cole World)
This Naija, no love
Only Jah know where we started from
Oluwa Burna still apply pressure
Stick up on you on a silent one
Ooh, ooh, who be that person
I showed you how to really do this thing
Oluwa Burna na the blueprint of course
And I gave you Afrofusion
No words can describe all of my waka waka
No place I no go to
If e dey hurt you na like this I dey hustle
Chorus: [Burna Boy]
E go take your mind, wuto, wuto, oh, no, o
Passa passa, oh, no, o

Too many people no dey fear God
What you think He created Hell for?

My fall is unheard of
You never hear them say I fell off, fell off

Verse 3: [Burna Boy & J. Cole]
They say my mama dance for Fela
They say I no get baby mama
Said I don come [?]
They say I shoot person for Cubana (Yeah)
Because I won collect person woman (That’s how they act, right?)
Is this the motherfucking thanks I get for making my people proud every chance I get?
Verse 4: [J. Cole]
Burna and me, been runnin’ this shit for eternity
I fathered a couple of styles, I’m takin’ paternity leave
Permanently, they hate, now brushin’ the dirt off my sleeve
Steadily talkin’ Ms to me, it’s like I’m learnin’ to read
Sounded it out, takin’ my time, countin’ it out, slowly
Dust collectin’ on the Rollie, me and these beats is holy
Matrimony, feelin’ like acts of Foley
In Beverly Hills, coppin’ whatever I feel
Cole and Burna, Shaq and Kobe, winnin’ a ring
Then we gon’ repeat, then three-peat
Them nerds hate, they seat geeks
They peepin’ us on the low, we like the cheat sheet
Get paid for phrases, I don’t believe in free speech
I said it, I’m in it, no take backs
I don’t even need the receipt, so please miss me with the PC
I be in NYC on a bike with the hood up like I’m E.T
These rappers ain’t like me, I’m knee deep in the concrete
Forever cemented, don’t you ever forget it
Chorus: [Burna Boy]
E go take your mind, wuto, wuto, oh, no, o
Passa passa, oh, no, o
Sare sare, oh, no
Mia masa, oh, no
Taye taye, oh, no
Jaye, jaye, oh, no, o, oh, no
You go day reason am rough, rough
Oh, no, o
Passa, passa, oh, no, o
Sare, sare oh, no
Mia masa, oh, no
Soro, soro, oh, no
Laye, laye, o
Oh, no
Is this the motherfucking thanks I get?
Outro: [J. Cole]
Burna, I see you
You got the whole world on smash right now
This whole shit is yours, forever how long you want it
Ya’ know what I mean?
