Asunder

You’re the only lump of sugar, wey dey inside my tea.
The only cockroach, wey dey inside my cupboard
Even though we are miles apart, omo you have my heart
What God has put together, no one can put asunder

Chorus: Ahh! Baby! Iwo ni mo fe. Baby! So so gi. Baby! Iwo ni mofe. Baby! So so gi

Mosquitoes no dey bite. When Nepa take dem light
I no dey feel the heat. So long you’re by my side
She more than a love machine. Does more than cook and clean
What God has put together, no one can put asunder

Chorus: Ahh! Baby! Iwo ni mo fe. Baby! So so gi. Baby! Iwo ni mofe. Baby! So so gi

Oya make we cut to the chase. Omo no time to waste
Make we get to the base. So we can close this case
Na me and you today. Na me and you tomorrow
What God has put together, no one can put asunder

Chorus: Ahh! Baby! Iwo ni mo fe. Baby! So so gi. Baby! Iwo ni mofe. Baby! So so gi

Watch me dj
I’m d sample ina d sample. D spice ina d ginger
Jimmy Sugarcane, don’t talk about the swagger
Who be maga, who be the bagger
Wey stop stop my saga. I’ll stab them with mi dagger
I’ll do what it takes. To bake that cake
Our love’s at stake. I no go break
Your love is gone. I’m no the same
I’m so insane. I can’t maintain
No break my heart (8x)
No free my side (8x)

Monkey dey work

Chorus: Monkey work, baboon dey chop. Monkey work, baboon dey chop. Who make the money? Who spend the money? Who acting funny man? Who play the dummy? (2x)

The story always negative. The story never positive.
Anytime you turn on television, na destruction
Straight out the bible, na the book of revelation
Could it be the end of days, could it be damnation?
Back to the days of Sodom and Gomorrah
The rich is getting richer while the poor is getting poorer
So much chaos ina the world, so much disorder
Standards that we’re living now, we don’t have no morals.

Chorus: Monkey work, baboon dey chop. Monkey work, baboon dey chop. Who make the money? Who spend the money? Who acting funny man? Who play the dummy? (2x)

Many children dying. Many mothers crying
Ghetto youth dem dying. Ghetto mothers crying
Ghetto youth dem thirsty. Ghetto eyes is red
Everybody fighting and gradually dividing
Can we all just get along and love one another
Instead of happy marriages, our parents are divorcing
Men are running away. Where are we fathers?
Women straying away. Where are we mothers?

Chorus: Monkey work, baboon dey chop. Monkey work, baboon dey chop. Who make the money? Who spend the money? Who acting funny man? Who play the dummy? (2x)

So many dying. So many suffering
So much in hunger. So much in pain
So much hatred. So much disdain
Hunger, Starvation, AIDS ah raid the nation
Poor government, it ah ruin many nations
Unemployment, under-employment. Here comes inflation
Mr. Politician so much promise in election
All is said and done yet still no correction

Chorus: Monkey work, baboon dey chop. Monkey work, baboon dey chop. Who make the money? Who spend the money? Who acting funny man? Who play the dummy? (2x)

The ghetto dem tired. The Ghetto youth thirsty. The ghetto dem tired. The Ghetto eyes is red
The ghetto dem tired. The Ghetto youth hungry. The ghetto dem tired. The Ghetto eyes is red
Take over your island. Welcome to my land. Gun shotta shotta we ah go blaze fi di top of top (2x)

Chorus: Monkey work, baboon dey chop. Monkey work, baboon dey chop. Who make the money? Who spend the money? Who acting funny man? Who play the dummy? (4x)

Tile

After all is said, all is done
You forever number 1
You’ve been strong, you’ve been patient.
Far too long, you’ve been waiting
For me to get my act together
So me and you can be together
Now I’m committed. Through any weather
If you’re cold, I go be your sweater
Like bread and butter. Stick together
Hand in hand, we’ll grow old together

Chorus: Please be my (Tile-13x). Iyawo mi! My tile, tile, tile o! Ugbu aku mo! My tile, tile, tile o!
Tile (16x) Iyawo mi! My tile, tile, tile o! Ugbu aku mo! My tile, tile, tile o!

You can take my money, take my car, take my house. Omo take control
You got my body, take my soul
Without you girl Imma lose control
For better for worse, through any storm
You’ve been by my side gidigba like pillar
2nd to none. My number 1
Na me and you together forever

Chorus: Please be my (Tile-13x). Iyawo mi! My tile, tile, tile o! Ugbu aku mo! My tile, tile, tile o!

Took me sometime but now I realize
It’s in you I wanna specialize
I don clear my eyes. You’re my prize
It’s just with you I wanna share my life
Wanna make you wife, give you better life
Anything you want no compromise
You showed me love. Sacrificed
You gave too much to be by my side

Chorus: Please be my (Tile-13x). Iyawo mi! My tile, tile, tile o! Ugbu aku mo! My tile, tile, tile o!
Tile (16x) Iyawo mi! My tile, tile, tile o! Ugbu aku mo! My tile, tile, tile o!
