lyrics

(Hook - Tim Lyre)
I just need a moment to collect my thoughts peace be still when the waters are rough
I been through a lot but who hasn’t
I’m steady till kingdom come I won’t panic Yeah
I stay solid
So why evils wanna come my way
Owo ni koko ko to salaye
So go ahead and put some more commas on it We no dey talk nonsense
we talk money for real
bank account be like House of Parliament Big bills
Eleniyan
Big deal
baby I’m way too skilled
for these niggas to test me
ain’t no way
for these niggas to press me
(Verse 1 - Tim Lyre)
Phelps with the entry
you’re barely halfway there
You can’t get me
I don’t run out of tricks
The kids did it for clicks
I just did it for kicks like I’m Jet Li
and if e really sure for you Oya bet me
Imma have the place jumping like it’s Envy Abi na Hotbox
shawty wan slide
Just to get high
Turn the whip to a hotbox
And the crux of the matter is
even if I pull up in my Crocs
All her mannerisms gonna change up
now I got her lipstick and her make up
Everywhere
Evidence
All up in my residence
Now we’re arguing just for the sake of argument and all the stress is building up because we rarely vent Sometimes I wonder if she playing my intelligence She say what’s the relevance
(Hook - Tim Lyre)
I just need a moment to collect my thoughts peace be still when the waters are rough I been through a lot but who hasn’t
I’m steady till kingdom come I won’t panic Yeah
I stay solid
So why evils wanna come my way
Owo ni koko ko to salaye
So go ahead and put some more commas on it We no dey talk nonsense
we talk money for real
bank account be like House of Parliament Big bills
Eleniyan
Big deal
baby I’m way too skilled
for these niggas to test me
ain’t no way
for these niggas to press me
(Verse 2 - Tay Iwar)
For the betterment of my emotions
I’m keeping at least 4 miles and over I partied with the evils I know
Try to run a race
With your feet down
Stuck to the floor now
Honestly I need a vacation
Just some peace of mind celebration Save myself from this type relation
Externally i’m seeking vibrations whoa Everything i do
To keep my mind cool
Is because some people love to see war Everything I do
Everything I do
For the betterment of my emotions
(Verse 3 - Tim Lyre)
I need a moment of peace
A likkle sound of silence
Make it feel like a cool cool breeze
don’t want open my eyelids
Let it carry me away
None of the pain inside
And by the time I open up my eyes
A better plane in sight
Never lost in a daydream
now that I arrived I know it’s all for the taking niggas going crazy in the streets where they made me they all wan race me
they still gatts chase me
tell me how you wanna go catching lightning I just know wanna know who sold you dreams don’t know who sent you
but they’ve got awful timing
there’s nothing you could do
When the stars are aligning
(Outro - Tim Lyre)
See I just want to have fun
And enjoy my life
E je kin saiye mi
E je kin jaiye mi
