Lyrics[]
[Refrain: Fat Nwigwe]
- Drip, glow, soul, way
- Clip, pole, smoke, fade
[Chorus: Fat Nwigwe & Tobe Nwigwe]
- They want the drip, they want the glow
- They want my soul, they want the way
- I keep a clip, I keep a pole
- Who want the smoke? Who want the fade?
[Post-Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe & Fat Nwigwe]
- Look, I know you want my number
- I know you want my thunder
- Why the laws wanna take us under?
- Why the hell am I in this jungle?
- I know you want my number
- I know you want my thunder
- Why the laws wanna take us under?
- Why the hell am I in this jungle?
[Verse: Tobe Nwigwe & Fat Nwigwe]
- Why the hell the law wanna press me?
- A little wrinkle in time, make you pull the iron out
- Find out what I'm 'bout from the insidе out
- Ride out the hideout, playin', wе don't try out
- Fly out while we drive out, ain't no timeouts
- We gon' pop out, how they try to kick us all out?
- Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch
- Bounce, crouch, or get slouched
- My whole hood devout and
- Vouch for the poems out of my mouth
- My mama told me not to be a harlot
- Granny helped me take the wise route
- Although I'm itty-bitty, sittin' pretty
- If the situation sticky, lights out
- But for right now, it's funny how
[Chorus: Fat Nwigwe & Tobe Nwigwe]
- They want the drip, they want the glow
- They want my soul, they want the way
- I keep a clip, I keep a pole
- Who want the smoke? Who want the fade?
[Refrain: Fat Nwigwe & Tobe Nwigwe]
- You cannot have it all (No)
- What's all the starting for?
- Drip (Oya), glow (Oya), soul (Oya), way (Come on)
- Clip (Oya), pole (Haha), smoke (See am?), fade (Yeah)
[Interlude]
- Ọsịịsọ
- Umu'ala al la gba chio gi
- To God who made me
[Chorus: Fat Nwigwe & Tobe Nwigwe]
- They want the drip, they want the glow
- They want my soul, they want the way
- I keep a clip, I keep a pole
- Who want the smoke? Who want the fade?
[Refrain: Fat Nwigwe & Tobe Nwigwe]
- You cannot have it all (No)
- What's all the starting for?
- Drip (Oya), glow (Oya)
- Drip (Oya), glow (Oya), soul (Oya), way (Come on)
- Clip (Oya), pole (Haha), smoke (See am?), fade (Yeah)
[Bridge: Fat Nwigwe & Tobe Nwigwe]
- I can't feel my feet (Fallin')
- I feel incomplete (Fallin')
- How can all this be? (Fallin')
- My body is me (Fallin')
- I can't feel my feet (Fallin')
- I feel incomplete (Fallin')
- My body is me (Fallin')
- Back on my feet (Fallin')
[Outro: Tobe Nwigwe]
- Officer, officer, I swear I ain't really got no out with you
- Officer, officer, make me wanna—
- Officer, officer, make me wanna—
- Officer, officer, make me wanna—
- Officer, officer, make me wanna—
