Verse 1
The night is young I’m getting old
So many don step on mi toes
Many friends wey don be foes
Can’t complain cause this the life I chose
Pre-Chorus
Na small thing quickly they make me para
Talk am as e be me I no dey stammer
I go do my own back I no fit wait for karma
I dey live my life me I no want yawa
Bana, bana, bana
Chorus
What’s my name? (Baba)
Common say that again (Baba)
On a daily I’m getting paid (Baba)
Everyday is an holiday (Baba)
Ah money choke (Baba)
Tell them to clear the road! (Baba)
Biko do not disturb (Baba)
Put phone for do not disturbed (Baba, baba)
Verse 2
Person wey put body go collect o wa nlẹ plenty cause (We dey hot like fire)
Four pocket full like lil baby when it’s time to ball (We dey cause disaster)
The money long, e long, long, e long, long, e long (E pass Burj Khalifa)
Ṣe you go fit to drop your mama as you say you wan belong? (O ki gbe laye never!)
Lifestyle wey no dey for salary earners (Ah me nkọ?)
You wey be civil servant
I hear say you wan shut down Obi’s house? (With wetin?)
Money from tap tap tap

Today na today
Emi gan-an o sunle
Mo jade tan ko to ma runle
Poverty no piss me off tori wi pe
Pre-Chorus
Na small thing quickly they make me para
Ah, I go vex

I go do my own back I no fit wait for karma
Karma might get too long
I dey live my life me I no want yawa
Bana, bana, bana (Aunty Nini)
