As a man I had to take me opportunity (ye)
Been chase the money like a fugitive
Boss this hustle fit try turn me to a lunatic (ya)
On the line, on the line, on the lline, on the line,
Everyday the money e dey call call call, Err’day, Err’day, Err’day, Err’day,
Err’day the money e dey knock knock knock
[Verse 1: Tim Lyre]
Where you been dey when I been dey find money, I been dey hustle to eat,

As a man I had to take me opportunity ye
Been chase the money like a fugitive
Boss this hustle fit try turn me to a lunatic ya
On the line, on the line, on the lline, on the line, Everyday the money e dey call call call,
Err’day, Err’day, Err’day, Err’day,
Err’day the money e dey knock knock knock


[Verse 2: Lady Donli]
My people, dem say na money dey make the world go round,
Oya my people, dem say na money dey make the world go round,
So you got to get down mami,
So you got to work hard mami,
And i’m with you in the zone mami,
You can’t do it all alone mami,
Whether you like am, whether you no like am,
I fit to do my own for the kpa kpa
You no get any say here for the matter
I’m gonna do what I came for the bag
Play my favourite tune then pick up the car keys
Step on the road like let’s get the money
I’m gonna make it, make it, make it for the family
I’m gonna make it rain, make it rain for me.

[Bridge: Tim Lyre]
Won ni ta lo le ju, (ehn),

[Outro: Tim Lyre]
Ko s’aye nu sokoto
Owo gun de sokoto
Won gbo ‘lu mi ko ko ko
From Lagos to Sokoto (2x)
