M.anifest – Don't Follow Me lyrics

Verse 1 [M.anifest]
May day may day may day cause on pay day I dey spend dough
Money spent on bars 3 yrs could buy a benzo
Let's not pretend tho' I'm a weekend warrior
Escaping from my kids and my wife Gloria
My 9to5 really not my vibe e dey vex me
Living in the bottle cause akpeteshie gets me
Making noise with the boys we dey watch la liga
But my empty soul dying slow it's got a fever
Viva the diva I live with she religious
Every Sunday collecting collection what is this?
Pastor says fast and pray but I want a faster way
And by the way i got a new side bae
Big trouble in little paradise
See this double life it's a land mine, what a life
Doing PDA when i should be t PTA
Akos saw and chuked she told Chuks, bue
Now i dey tell all my paddies

Hook [Bayku]
Mek you no follow me oh, don't follow me
Mek you no follow me oh, don't follow me
Ting go jom you today, but turn around tomorrow...so
Follow me oh, don't follow me

Verse 2 [M.anifest]
Stumbled upon a piece of paper did not know the author
Scribbles quite little curious what it would offer
Often I do lose things here and there
Hard to bear the thought of it my paddy is torture
Kept a straight face I'm faced with a dilemma
Read the stranger's letter or put it in a trash can
I heard a brass band pass by, I can
Imagine this letter could be by a cheating husband
Caught by a dash cam then ein wife lef am
Love gone now he's left with apologies (yeah fam)
Or maybe it's a story of pride and glory
A struggling genius begging the world "don't ignore me!"
Can't hold the candle he's burning on both sides
Play his piano, black keys, no size
Lost the woman of his dreams to a lesser man
Instead of growing Chuks chose the route of peter pan
Now e dey tell all ein paddies


Hook [Bayku]
Mek you no follow me oh, don't follow me
Mek you no follow me oh, don't follow me
Ting go jom you today, but turn around tomorrow...so
Follow me oh, don't follow me

Verse 3 [Yaa Pono]

Bridge [Bayku]
Every time I tell am go-way
They turn around and follow
Ting go Jom you today but turn around tomorrow
So, so so so so
Ting go Jom you today but turn around tomorrow
So...

Hook
Mek you no follow me oh, don't follow me
Mek you no follow me oh, don't follow me
Ting go jom you today, but turn around tomorrow...so
Follow me oh, don't follow me
