Who dey

Who dey, who dey, who dey, who dey;

Who dey, who dey;

Who dey, who dey, who dey, yeah;

Who dey, who de;

Who dey, who de, who dey, who de;

Who they run the city when the sun goes down;

Who dey, who de?

Still standing when the law runs out;

Plenty people talk plenty but their hands stay clean;

I don't need a thousand soldiers, just a solid team;

Who dey, who dey;

Who dey hold it down when the pressure comes;

Who dey, who dey, who dey;

Still around when the money′s done;

If you never lost it all then you don't understand;

Why I keep my circle small and my heart in my hand;

Who dey, who de;

Real ones only, that's the code I keep;

Real ones only, till I'm six feet deep;

Came from the bottom where the fridge was empty;

Mama prayin' loud but the devil try to tempt me;

Same hood, same block, same face;

Turn envy, saw my closest turn their back, that thing left me empty;

Now I move different,

I don't link with everybody;

Table full of strangers, make the dinner look too deadly;

They smile in your face, then they cut you when you ready;

So I keep my circle tighter than the jeans on my body;

Streets been watching and they don't blink;

Sidewalk got tears, the pavement don't sleep;

It is for survival, we just don't eat;

Everybody in between just getting rap sheets;

It's hard to be good, easy to do evil;

And I ain't really into meeting with new people;

Just put the money in the bag and

I'll leave you with it;

You make a hundred dollars to the streets, you made a

I don't need a hundred friends,

I need five, alright;

I don't need a mansion, just a room where

I can hide;

They said they love me, but the love came with a price;

So I learned to read the room and

I learned to cut the lies;

Tell me, who dey, who dey?

Who dey run the city when the sun goes down?

Who dey? Who dey, who dey?

Who dey still standing when the love runs out?

Plenty people talk plenty, but they ain't stay clean;

I don't need a thousand soldiers, just a solid team;

Who dey? Who dey?

Who dey hold it down when the pressure comes?

Who dey?

Who dey still around when the money's done?

If you never lost it all then you don't understand;

Why I keep my circle small and my heart in my hand?

Remember nights we shared one plate, now they want a piece of cake;

Funny how the table turns when they check the rides late;

I don't do the photos,

I don't do the small talk;

I just count the real ones on one hand when the walls talk;

Heard them plotting in the group chat, smiling in the function;

Same ones capping for you, got the knife;

Suba move lowkey, shadow in the daylight;

Trust is the currency,

I spend it on the late nights;

The real ones are all locked up or dead;

Nowadays, you can't find a good connect;

But if you do, you might be the first;

So I trust my gut and

I watch my step;

I don't need a hundred friends,

I need five;

I don't need no mansion, just a room where

I can hide;

They said they love me, but they love can't hold a prize;

So I learned to read the room and

I learned to cut the lies, tell me;

Who dey, who dey?

Who dey run the city when the sun goes down?

Who dey?

Who dey, who de?

Who dey still standing when the love runs out?

People talk plenty but their hands they keep;

I don't need a thousand soldiers just to start a team;

Who they, who they, who they hold it down when the pressure comes?

Who they, who they, still around when the money's done?

If you never lost it all then you don't understand;

Why I keep my circle small and my heart in my hand?

They ask me why

I don't smile in the pictures;

Why I stand in the back when they taking the pictures;

Cause the flash shows more than your face in the pictures;

It shows who's real and who's just here for the riches;

So I keep my head down, my eyes up;

When the room gets crowded, my guard up;

If you see me with a circle, know it's been through the fire;

Loyalty ain't giving, it's earned through the wire;

So tell me, who they, who they;

Who they run the city when the sun goes down?

Who they, who they;

Who they still spending when the love runs out?

Plenty people talk, plenty people talk;

But their hands stay clean;

I don't need a thousand soldiers;

Just a solid team;

Who they, who they;

Who they holdin' down when the pressure comes?

Who they, who they, who they still around?

When the money's done;

If you never lost it all, then you don't understand;

Why I keep my circle small and my heart's in my hand?

Who dat?

Real ones only, you don't know the history;

Streets been watching;

Who dat?

Who dat?

Who dat;

Who dat?
